Watch Beyond the Bermuda Triangle For Free

Pretty Good

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Pretty cool story about some folks in the 'Triangle' who are either lost or trying to find out the whereabouts of others whom have already become lost.Fred MacMurray dons his little captain's hat which he bought at the local boat shop so he can pretend he's King of the Sea or something, Sam Groom is his aquatic entrepreneurial protégé, and Donna Mills is Sam's chick. Donna is beautiful, which is what held my attention for the duration. Sweet Dana Plato is a little girl whose parents have disappeared in this most famous 'hot-spot'.Somewhat mundane TV-movie (most TV-movies in the 70's sucked), but concomitantly interesting. It will help to be buzzed while you watch. I'm buzzed right now on Admiral Nelson's Spiced Rum and I've got this flick on TV as I type this-- .... wait a second! I think Donna is going to take off her top!.... Gotta go!

Although barely under an hour and a quarter Beyond The Bermuda Triangle seems an eternity sometimes with Fred MacMurray and his cast doing a whole lot of palabering about just why people get lost in the patch of ocean known as the Bermuda Triangle.ABC did not invest a whole lot into this film with location shooting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida standing in for Bimini in the Bahama Islands. One harbor is as good as another.Fred and a bunch of friends are in those southern waters for a bit of a holiday when some of those legendary disappearances occur. When it happens to young Dana Plato's parents Fred shows some concern. In fact the only thing that gives this nicely photographed film any excitement is when Dana claims to hear her mother calling. So where does she go? Not out to sea, but into the Everglades.Nice characters, nice photography, but a dull story.

A classic example of a film which sadly fizzles when it really ought to sizzle. The basic premise is certainly intriguing enough: a handful of folks in planes and boats alike mysteriously vanish in the legendary Bermuda Triangle located just off the coast of Florida. Alas, William A. Graham's blandly by-the-numbers direction crucially fails to provide any much-needed suspense, vitality and spooky atmosphere. Instead the movie gets bogged down in a tedious surplus of dull talk, with precious few scares or action to alleviate the general boredom. The cast do their best with the meandering story: Fred MacMurray gives a typically robust and amiable performance as an affable retired wealthy businessman while both Sam Groom and Donna Mills are solid and engaging as an estranged young couple. Plus future "Different Strokes" TV sitcom star Dana Plato pops up as a spunky little girl whose mother disappears in the Devil's Triangle. Gayne Rescher's pretty, picturesque photography and Harry Sukman's suitably shivery'n'sinister score are likewise up to par. But only at the very end does this largely lethargic snoozer finally come to life and deliver some excitement with a fairly creepy zinger of a surprise ending, but by then it's way too little much too late to redeem this mediocre timewaster.

During the Seventies, the ABC Mystery Movies put out several good movies that bordered between mystery and horror. Many of them weren't that bad, and unfortunately are rarely shown today except for The Night Stalker which has become sort of a cult hit. Beyond the Bermuda Triangle is a sort of low key mystery with lots of drama and some low key fantasy as it explores the legends and myths of the Bermuda Triangle through Fred McMurray. Guilty over the disappearance of his brother or best friend, he talks to everyone who knows a little bit about the Triangle or has been touched by it. Donna Mills tries to save him from himself, and young Dana Plato plays the young girl looking for her mother, even going as far as tracing her voice out into the Everglades. The storyline is a little loose with average characters living in or near a little Miami suburb where almost everyone has their own boat. The acting is overly dramatic at times, but it moves along moderately. It's actually a nice little film with a chilling ending, but it doesn't have much of a plot.
