So anyone else fallen in Love with the movie Triangle yet?

I have just watched this movie and was amazed at how good it was for a small flick that got little fanfare. I remember listening to Mark Kermode review it for the BBC and he liked it and its easy to see why. I see the director also wrote the story. Could this be another Christoper Nolan in the making? Anyway if you havn't seen this i cannot recommend it enough, and all i will say is try to read a little about it as possible. Many twists and turns and a great ending. Be interesting to hear peoples thoughts on it.

Do you mean Triangle with Melissa George?

If you did, it was OK. Nothing special.

She's tasty, though.

Re: So anyone else fallen in Love with the movie Triangle yet?

i would've fallen in love with it if not for the fact that it's a TIMECRIMES ripoff. i do think this has a better storyline but the idea is a complete ripoff of the aforementioned movie which i highly recommend.

Agreed, loved Timecrimes. Triangle, not so much.

The next Christopher Nolan? You must be on crack.

This guy's other films are Severance and Creep, which were both mediocre.

Triangle had a very good idea, but failed to execute, imo, of course.

Agree with this, however I did not love Time Crimes as much either.

Never saw 'Timecrimes' but I loved 'Triangle'

'Severance' was amazing too.

I forgive timecrimes with the acting since the movie was made for like $12 with 2 of the 3 main actors being nearly completely inexperienced.

My thoughts exactly. Decent movie but not anything that I'll ever watch again.

Re: So anyone else fallen in Love with the movie Triangle yet?

Amazon lists the aspect ratio on the Blu-Ray specs as 1.33:1. Is this correct or a typo on Amazon's part?

Re: So anyone else fallen in Love with the movie Triangle yet?

I watched this last night. It's fun and I liked what they tried to do, but it really felt like the script could've used a bit more work. There were quite a few unanswered questions, aka plot holes. I'd probably give it a 7/10 for what it is, but some more effort on the plot could've easily raised it to a 9/10.

Severance and Creep mediocre? Son, you crazy!

Ok, Creep had some major issues in the third act, but I felt like the buildup, and initial chase stuff was really well done. Once you knew what was going on? Yeah, things fell flat a bit. Severance is just fun.

I liked Triangle, but thought I was going to love it. Now, instead of enjoying what I watched, I find that I'm trying to instead piece together how many
Spoiler:
loops
there were.

Still, I'll watch anything this guy does from here on out. While his films might not be unbridled successes, they're fresh enough to satisfy. I've been meaning to watch Time Crimes for a while now. Might as well do that now, and compare.

Not the next Chris Nolan by any stretch, Severance was fantastic though.

Agreed. Creep and Severance were both pretty good flicks though.

Re: So anyone else fallen in Love with the movie Triangle yet?

I'm still trying to figure out why the comparison was made to begin with?

Is it because both this and Memento were confusing?

I don't see any comparison there. The only comparison with this movie is the blatant rip-off of ideas and themes from Timecrimes.

Re: So anyone else fallen in Love with the movie Triangle yet?

Saw this earlier tonight, it is a pretty derivative little flick borrowing heavily from Ghost Ship and Cube 2: Hypercube, moreso the latter. Haven't seen Timecrimes yet. This isn't a bad thing though, as I am one of the few that actually enjoyed Hypercube despite my own better reasoning (silly overall plot, questionable logic, lame deaths, poor acting .. but it was fun trying to figure out how it would all "really work")

Triangle was a better movie than both of those - nicely shot, adequately acted, conceptually fun, but the decisions the main character made throughout the movie just felt contrived to extend it out - it quite frankly got a little frustrating and silly. CG wasn't the best but didn't detract too much.

Still, it was mostly a fun movie that maintained surprisingly nightmarish atmosphere for its duration. Recommended, with some reservations.

Timecrimes was awesome. I snagged a copy for $4 from a closing Hollywood Video. I just watched it this weekend for the first time and truly loved the experience of it all.

It was a decent film. However some of the special effects ended up hurting it more than helping it. The director obviously wanted to make something ambitious on a small budget, but on a visual level, he didn't pull it off.

Re: So anyone else fallen in Love with the movie Triangle yet?

This movie was surprisingly enjoyable to me. Timecrimes, which I watched after Triangle, was very good but I felt that it was much easier to follow. Out of the two, I'd recommend Triangle over Timecrimes.
