Another SyFy original, this from The Asylum productions, by prolific director Nick Lyon (though this is the first of his films I've reviewed, I think). The president of the U.S. (John Savage) has to eject from Air Force One into the Bermuda Triangle and then there's a military rescue mission. Linda Hamilton is the Admiral in charge. Trevor Donovan is the guy who goes against orders - of course - to do the rescue. Jamie Kennedy plays a doctor who comes in handy as he's an expert in everything they need an expert in. Mya is in there for some reason; she is terrible. There's a tentacled monster that impedes the rescue and it turns out to be extra-terrestrial. There's very poor dialogue, no character development, some laughably bad CGI and only a couple of non-descript sets; all the building interiors look the same and submarines look like airplanes which look like boats. It's played seriously, not for laughs, but there's little to care about.
Linda Hamilton plays the Admiral..Not Linda Blair
