Linda Hamilton looks like her own grandmother. I didn't recognize her for 20 minutes. How sad to see people age badly and do garbage in their later years. Even Olivier did bad horror movies the last few years, but she hit rock bottom with this. It also tells me her asking price must be 5 digits. Her voice is sooo deep she clearly is a longtime smoker. What a mess she has become. Oh this movie sucks by the way.

The first review I read about this, titled "Linda! No!" by Mike Boyd (https://www.imdb.com/review/rw3032065/) actually captured my feelings about Linda Hamilton's involvement in this terrible film perfectly. Air Force One crashes somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle. The Navy is sent to rescue the president, headed up by Linda Hamilton's Admiral Linda Hansen, and her charges. Things get weird when they are attacked by alien-esque tentacles which have the ability to shoot. The entire Navy is ground to a halt due to the giant tentacles. A maverick Naval officer, Chief Trip Oliver, who has had run in's with the admiral before manages to steal a sub and talk a crew into falling him into rescuing the president. They discover an underwater cave which is also a graveyard for everything that has been lost in the Bermuda Triangle, also in this cave though is an alien space ship, presumably which was controlling the tentacles too. They rescue the president but have awoken the alien force. The space ship takes flight and starts destroying things, slowly heading for land and larger populations. It's up to the Navy to destroy is and save the world. Bad acting... actually let me be clear - REALLY REALLY BAD ACTING with a terrible script to work from judging by the lines that are delivered. Everything felt flat, including the terrible acting when the sub was being thrashed about - William Shatner and the original Star Trek cast looked more authentic when they were getting shaken around on the Enterprise - and that was cheesy and camp - this film is just awful at it. Terrible and cheap special effects which could have been beaten by a preschool class and a box of play-doh. A plot with more holes than cartoon Swiss cheese. Poor pacing which mixed a sprint with a crawl at different and inappropriate times. Obvious continuity mistakes and gaffes throughout - did you not see the holes in the atmosphere suit, or the helicopter than changed make/model between different shots. Worse of all, despite all the above, the thing I really couldn't overlook - the film gives the impression it's taking itself seriously!!! At least with things like "Sharknado" you know that its tongue in cheek and it's not taking itself seriously. This film seems to think it's the next "Independence Day". If Linda Hamilton had of turned to the camera after delivering some terrible dialogue, and winked to show that she knew this was a steaming pile too, maybe then I'd have forgiven the film for not thinking it was an undiscovered masterpiece of B-Movie movies. Sorry, I can only give this 2 out of 10, and that's only because I didn't turn it off. I really wanted to, but managed to resist the urge. I really hope I don't have to watch this rubbish ever again.

Don't let the whinging reviewers fool you. This isn't the low budget 50s style sci-fi movie which the title suggests. It's a classy film with a whole fleet of U.S. Navy ships, big guns, sailors armed with bazookas, a missing President, a bunch of US marines in a high tech submarine, tough Admiral Linda Hamilton (from Terminator) and, yes, big, freakin' tentacles in the Bermuda Triangle. But there's lots more, which I can't tell you about without giving away the story. The cast is great, there's no ham acting, the movie is fast moving (the action begins from the first moment and continues right to the end), the special effects are great and the plot, well, OK, maybe it's a bit thin, but who cares? Big, freakin' tentacles, right? Actually, there's one gripe I have about the film and that's that the guy leading the US marines is Chief Oliver. That's Chief Petty Officer, an enlisted rank. I thought that only commissioned officers would lead missions like the ones in this film. But that's a very small niggle. If you like exciting adventures, particularly if you enjoy the series the Last Ship, you'll like this. Set sail to your nearest video store (or online library), rent this, microwave some popcorn, maybe open a beer and have a great evening.

When the president crash-lands in the Bermuda Triangle, a rescue team sent to extract him find the area home to a series of tentacle-like alien beings gathering strength for an attack on humanity and must stop them to get him out alive. On the whole this one was a decent if unspectacular effort. What really tends to stick out here for this one is the fact that there's just way too much science fiction feelings throughout the middle section here that really drops the atmosphere gathered from the rest of the effort as the group explores the underwater cavern. Once they arrive there and begin witnessing the graveyard collected beneath the sea filled with the missing ships and planes throughout history, there's just way too much of a light-hearted sci-fi feel that tends to downplay what had come before it and almost seems like it's an entirely different movie stitched onto the back-end of this one, especially once it gets to the massive, city-sized alien ship with death-rays and protective energy beams that makes up the admittedly explosive and action-packed finale even though it still feels cropped on from a completely different movie. Likewise, none of that really does anything towards explaining the ship or it's purposes here, and despite seeming like an explanation there's not a whole lot here that's really on display here to tell exactly what the creature is, where it came from or what it's doing here and really only explains the ship and plane disappearances. As well as the usual standard of somewhat bad and obvious CGI throughout here, these manage to hold off the positive points enough to lower this one. The biggest point here is the rather exciting and enjoyable action scenes here, as the fact that there's quite a few military confrontations throughout this where they encounter the massive tentacles and begin blasting away at them leading to a slew of impressive fire-fights in the beginning when they first appear and the action here is quite enjoyable. Likewise, that these scenes not only give us some solid gore in the numerous deaths throughout here but also manage to not make the tentacles look too cheesy when they appear as massive worms up in the sky makes for quite an intriguing feat and keeps them solidly enjoyable throughout here. Lastly, despite the obvious tone-shift into sci-fi away from the horror of the first half, that this one still remains highly watchable is a solid feat with plenty to like about it and not a whole lot of really off-putting or boring scenes here, and overall these keep this one from sinking lower against the flaws.
