Ok wow, the Triangle is like the worst torturous Twilight Zone ep turned in to a movie :eek :hat Definitely never saw this before. At first when it started I was like this seems like the type of obscure low budget thriller movie that airs on ABC late on Saturday nights :lol but then it totally curved on me.

Any of those real super creepy Twilight Zone eps that have a depressing bad ending, some loop is involved and the person can't control any of it so it just turns in to eternal punishment :{ :x (there was recently an ep of Black Mirror with a similar concept but without the doubles and not a literal loop) Really liked this for how tense and yet lost I was in the beginning. Once **** started connecting and making some sense though is when that sense of dread really seeped in.

The action in this was pretty good too. When she had the gun shot in her face and grabbed it then dipped out to the lower deck like a damn ninja 8)

Then they pull some Groundhog's Day **** to explain why this is happening :x :eek :{ It was constantly just after 8:30 in this movie :lol

Once it clicked for me and I knew what was happening with this continuous loop I was like


1112595

1112596




It was some pimp my ride Xzibit ****. Watching yourself watching yourself watching yourself. That torture of seeing all that I guess she snapped cuz she couldn't escape. I was waiting for what forces her to do what the notes said and put the burlap sack over her head and start killing her friends.

Gotta say I'm a bit shook myself cuz I stay having deja vu down to saying what's about to be said before it's said or knowing the actions of ppl in that moment :{ or just knowing I been to a place before even though it's supposed to be my first time there

Only questions I got is why somethings stay behind and others don't in the loop. Cuz she drops the key and they're able to pick that up, all of those damn lockets fall and don't disappear but once they walked in to the ballroom they should've found Victor's body laying right there the first time (not the other time when he went overboard) or Sally's and Downey's bodies in the theater the first time when they got shot. I'm guessing the part where she touches the record player and the picture itself literally skips twice causes the loop though. I know she dumped some bodies but she didn't dump all of them.

Seemed liked there were some rules to this **** as she didn't immediately continue the loop and yet it kept happening and another her showed up.

That damn taxi driver is the Grim Reaper. Nothing he said really made sense given that situation. Who sees a car crash and dead bodies and asks somebody handing watching if they want a ride all ominous like. Then he gets creepier talking about I'll leave the meter running, are you gonna come back? That dude knows what's going on. I'm also not buying her sudden slight head trauma, go to sleep on the taxi amnesia. She kinda said sorry to dude for what she was about to do and then went to sleep on the boat and is acting like she don't know what just happened like it's a bad dream

Also where the **** did that ship come from sailing in the sea with no damn crew? :lol

As far as what's really going on, man they either went in to the Bermuda Triangle for real and she's ****** in some infinite loop of torture or she died (along with the rest of them) on the boat during the storm and she was so guilty from being an abusive mother that she's in her own personal hell where she's suffers a natural disaster, hunted, goes crazy, becomes a murderer, faces her true self, and then right when she's about to change loses the one person she loves only to do it all over again.

Oh and that Heather chick got the luckiest and easiest death in this :lol When Jess is in the car with her son I was half expecting her to hit Heather wandering in to the street after surviving being carried away by the storm the same way she was instead of the seagull.

Anyway, Melissa George was looking right in those shorts :evil


Really good movie though. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Nice take on this type of concept.

^ long story short shes in hell and the loop is her punishment. It compares to the greek god the ship was named after.

You probably already figured that out tho

Son..after watching the first scene again and remebering how it ended I FINALLY get the movie. Mind blown. It was like my mind found the last puzzle piece.

plus this post fully explains it all: http://m.imdb.com/title/tt1187064/board/threads/232392659/

While the guy in this had similar ideas and explanations as me I disagree with a few things and some of it contradicts what's shown in the movie.

First it's a bit too focused on heaven or hell and tries to explain everything. No need to explain Heather's death. She's the most minor of minor characters in this. On a boat in a big storm like that a person will be lost at sea and die. It happens. That's it. No need to say she might've went to heaven. If anything what she says to Jess in her short time is just hinting hard at what's really going on.

Also the very first of the movie is Jess hugging her son telling him he had a bad dream. After watching the movie we know that Jess is the one that just went through all that bad ****, killed her bastard self and actually thinks she's out of the loop. In between opening credits we see the OG Jess in her dress before it's stained and a view of her son from the front window (which would be looper Jess looking inside). The sequence of events in the beginning of the movie are cleverly placed so that it doesn't let on what's going to happen or what actually happened or what things are really like. She clearly dumps a bag in to the trunk but the next scene is her convincing her son to leave with her talking about the mess after she just murdered herself. There's no evidence at all that Jess kills her son. So I'd disagree on the cause for this torture punishment. I think it's enough she's an abusive mom and that her son died when she tried to change that she has to go through this loop.

I don't like the idea that the entire movie is in hell and her punishment from the moment she kills her son is all in hell. I mean she definitely does kill her own self as apart of some type of way to deal with her demons. There was two bodies on the road before the cab driver asked her if she wanted a ride. To me that just hints at us never knowing what originally happened cuz that's the essence of loops, they're infinite.

I can agree on the cab driver, like the Greek fun fact/reference, and the overall idea that some part of this is just simply torture in hell but I'm not seeing the part where she kills her son just for her to think she changed and have the son die anyway in the car crash.

Well yeah :lol

The concept is bigger than it just being hell though.

There's a Twilight Zone ep where a dude has an endless nightmare and never wakes up. Every time he "goes to sleep" he's on trial for murder, he's innocent but due to running out of time or some technicalities he ends up in the chair. Then he has the same nightmare again only this time the faces change, the guy who was the judge is now the bailiff, his defendant is his judge, and the prosecutor is his defendant. Goes on and on.

And like I said about The Black Mirror ep, it was the same concept except nobody was dead or died and they revealed the method of the mystery in the end to explain the punishment.

I didn't mind Need for Speed, but I wouldn't say it was all that great.

Kid Cudi was good, but the character he played irked me so bad with how blatantly insane and dumb he was.

Like, at the end dude was in jail like it was all good, and it was like an hour into the movie before you found out he was in the military and that's why he had access to all those helicopters and ****. And then the end of the movie is them picking him up from jail a year later?? Like, bruh stole government property, went AWOL multiple times, and participated in running an illegal street racing ring, and somehow only gets a year in jail? And the whole time he's just doing him pop locking in his cell watching TV like it's all good waiting for his boys to come pick him up???

That was my only gripe, really.

I did like the fact that the movie had a lot of nods to the video game in it.
