9 Ways To Break Out Of A Time Loop (According To The Movies)

4. Stay Out Of The Bermuda Triangle (Triangle)

Triangle's plot is so convoluted that every single character involved spends the entire 99-minute running time out of their minds with confusion. And you will too: Single mother Jess (Melissa George) and friends embark on a boat trip off the Miami coast, only for a freak storm to upturn the boat. Stranded without rescue, the party are forced to board a passing cruise ship; only the ship appears totally abandoned. Except, that is, for what appear to be carbon copies of themselves, along with piles of their own corpses disposed by Jess and friends' future selves. Long story short, Jess makes it back to the mainland in the immediate past, only for car crash-induced amnesia to see her clamber back aboard the boat, her and her friends heading once again for the nefarious time loop danger zone. Which is all just a long-winded way of making this point: stay away from the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle isn't actually referenced by name in the film, but the movie's Miami setting, writer-director Christopher Smith's early intentions to make a film about the Bermuda Triangle and the fact that the film is called Triangle suggests that's where the boat is headed. It's where numerous accidents have occurred in real life, lending it an air of modern urban legend, the area a notorious end-zone for ships, planes and anything else the Triangle can selfishly swallow up. Triangle's message is to avoid.
