Lost Voyage (2000 TV Movie)
4/10
If it had never been found, no-one would care

You'd think if a ship went missing in the Bermuda Triangle for 25 years, and mysteriously reappeared with near everything intact minus the people they'd be more global interest than from a crappy, cheap cable show, but never mind. Our intrepid explorers, complete with the son of two of the original passengers and a salvage crew board the long-lost frigate... and promptly start dying one after the other in 'strange' circumstances. Could the cause be something to do with the supernatural? My guess is: YES.

Watching this is akin to drinking Diet Coke: It quenches your thirst, but has absolutely no distinction and doesn't leave any impression whatsoever. There are some reasonable special effects, no-one is so irritating you want them to perish immediately and I couldn't detect any daft decisions made... which is unusual in this genre. It's just you want MORE than mere competency, a fact hammered home by the lack of anything resembling a climax. The film is content to sit there... wallowing in it's own mediocrity... with the predictable couple surviving and barely any fireworks throughout. Not even a damp sparkler.

Some may be content with this. I wasn't. 4/10
