What could have just been ulan acceptable TV disaster movie ends up a silly soap opera thanks to storyline involving wealthy yacht owner Fred MacMurray's obsession with finding people who have all of a sudden disappeared in the triangle, involved in an undeveloped romantic triangle with a younger man and a woman MacMurray loves, the pretty Donna Mills and Sam Groom, who are having boring romantic problems, all the while mourning his wife who disappeared at sea. Mills is taking care of young Dana Plato, who has a telepathy which makes her think that she's able to contact the spirit of her late parents who disappeared in the triangle.
I had to rethink my vision of the soapy storyline, never confirmed outside of brief conversations between McMurray and Groom and an awkward encounter with Mills who joins him on an excursion how to see to find Groom's missing boat. The veteran actor, never really one of my favorites, tries to be sincere but he is greatly affected by the strange teleplay that implies several different things but indicates other moods out of the blue. You really shouldn't have to put TV movies under a microscope to figure what is what who is who, and this one just left me cold. Even the obvious location footage is an exciting enough to make this worthy of a trip into a TV movie Twilight Zone.
