Good movie but grossly overrated

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I understood the movie only after watching it 3-4 times. Phenomenal work by the director, Christopher Smith. The main crux of the movie is to understand that there are two types of Jess that board the ship Aeoles, one with a broken memory and one with memory. That's the only spoiler I would give.Finally I would say this - I will never forget this movie till I die! Really!!

***mild, mild spoliers to follow***There's a special kind of film every slasher fan knows well. I call them Grate Films: movies that somehow entertain despite the fact that one roots against the main cast, not for them. The kind of film where friends place excited bets on who deserves to get Savini'd next and why, and applaud when they're right. In this regard, Triangle is a truly Grate Film. Melissa George stars as Billie Piper, a woman with seriously questionable taste in footwear who shows up for a pleasure cruise with friends several days after her Zoloft prescription has expired. (Or maybe she thought this was an audition because there was a Hemsworth waiting out front.) Twilight Zone-y wackiness then ensues, which could accurately be described as some chick who's never seen Groundhog's Day playing Dark Souls on the cruise ship from that one Resident Evil mobile game. Which makes this "the Dark Souls of 'Dark Souls on a cruise ship movies'", I guess. Eventually a Hemsworth gets fingered.Ultimately, this is a horror film about people trapped in a confined space with a protagonist who's too stupid/crazy/clinically depressed to explain what's going on, and how her idiocy puts everyone else in mortal danger. I won't give away much more, because once you get past the obligatory setup there are actually a few good choices and twists, and a surprising meticulousness to the plotting that's possibly hinted at by the Rosemary's Baby-esque opening theme. This doesn't get in the way of the characters acting like complete tools at all times, however, despite a really clever solution to the problem of keeping the body count high without having to hire more actors. The ending manages to be a potent cocktail of predictable, impossible, and really, really stupid. Few films have been so vehemently anti-nap.Triange is best approached as a slightly elevated slasher film. Despite following every good idea up with a grate one, there is guaranteed entertainment value here, especially for groups that enjoy yelling at the screen. #makemoviesgrateagain

Let's say you could live your life over again, would you change anything knowing the outcome is going to be a disaster? You would, but who would watch the movie?This movie plays on a theme used in "Twilight Zone" episodes and various movies since the 1950's: Where the person sees themselves and integrates their present action to duplicate what has happened in the past. While it was done well in this movie, it didn't stand out as compared to others.Did anyone else notice that Melissa George got augmentations after the movie to pose for the cover? The movie drops the F-bomb a few times, but is not bogged down with swearing. It has killing and blood, but spares us gore.

I have watched a lot of mind bending movies but for me this is one of my best movie. I bet if people don't like this movie, then they haven't fully understood it.!
