most ghost ship movies stink!!!!!! THIS ONES PRETTY GOOD!!!! before i saw this movie my opinion on ghost ship movies was lower than the low!!! i mean the actual movie named "GHOSTSHIP" was the best i had seen yet and that had a couple of good murder scenes but that was it the rest of it just flat out STUNK!!!!!!BUT!! this one(LOST VOYAGE) was a little unique it took off in many different directions to confuse you wich made for some good spooky/unsettled/goosepimpley scenes (kind of like"THE SHINNING")IT HAS SOME FLAWS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO RUIN IT!!!!!JUDD NELSON WAS GOOD!! everyone else did a decent acting job. at the end of the movie you may not completely understand what just happened but sometimes thats exactly what movies are supposed to do (CONFUSE YOU/ MAKE YOU FEEL UNSETTLED!!!!!)ANYWAY THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST GHOST SHIP MOVIE THAT IVE EVER SEEN(strait to video/tv or not!!)its more creative then any big budget crap like "GHOSTSHIP"./ TRUE HORROR SPOOK FANS WILL ENJOY "LOST VOYAGE" GO GET IT!!!!!!!!!
Voyage of unrealized potential
There's just something about ghost ship movies that I cannot resist, so when I spotted Lost Voyage, I had to watch it. The fact that the movie is a straight-to-video/DVD release I had never heard of before made no difference. Judd Nelson was a familiar name from the 1980s, and the presence of Lance Henriksen from TV's Millennium series seemed to bode well. It's quite an interesting movie, not necessarily in a good way. There are a few moments of decent suspense, and the acting really isn't all that bad, yet the movie seemed to pose questions it never intended to answer, and the special effects are just plain weird.
As the movie opens, we see the beginning and ignominious end of the final voyage of the cruise ship Corona Queen in 1972; somewhere in the vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle, the ship disappeared into an unexplained atmospheric phenomenon. No sign of the ship was ever found ' until now. After more than twenty-five years, the ship has suddenly been spotted by a fishing vessel off the coast of Bermuda. This news is particularly interesting for Aaron Brown (Judd Nelson), whose father and step-mother were among the passengers of the ill-fated cruise. He has obsessively studied the Bermuda Triangle ever since, and now he finds himself one of the first human beings to set foot on the mysterious ship in over a quarter of a century. With him are Dana Elway (Janet Gunn), the star of a paranormal based news show, and her crew, alongside a trio of salvage men led by David Shaw (Henriksen). They discover the ship to be in remarkably good condition, but no sign of crew or passengers is to be found. As you might expect, bad things start happening that try to be creepy but never really are, and the dwindling number of individuals on board find themselves in danger of heading back into whatever claimed the ship way back in 1972.
The visions that some of the characters see on board the ship supposedly represent their biggest fears or most disturbing memories, but they don't really play that well. We are treated to numerous flashbacks and mysterious new visitations by Aaron's long-dead father, but none of these personal stories seems at all important in the end. I do have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of Scarlet Chorvat as the younger reporter scheming to take Dana Elway's job, and her storyline actually seemed to make a little bit of sense. The really weird thing about Lost Voyage, though, is its special effects. Things aren't really that bad until the closing scenes of the movie, when CGI animation suddenly runs amuck. Many of the climactic scenes look like the kinds of animation you would see in a computer or gaming console game; in a game, they would be impressive, but in a movie they are quite disappointingly fake; I can't recall ever seeing another movie wherein the animation suddenly took on such a peculiar look.
The real source of weakness in the movie, though, is the plot. Too many story elements are introduced for no apparent reason, almost nothing about the fate of the ghost liner is revealed, and the end of the movie is quite disappointing. To make matters worse, the two epilogue sequences make very little sense to me and only serve to reinforce the failed opportunities that seem to define Lost Voyage. Despite all of these problems, though, I cannot say I actually hated the film. It had enough potential to keep me interested, but a lot of that potential was wasted in the end.
DTV horror flick loses itself...
"Lost Voyage" spends so much time building up the audience that when we finally get the payoff, we're underwhelmed. Done by the folks at UFO and City Heat Productions, this film is sort of like "Event Horizon" in the ocean. However, it lacks the visceral scares and weird gore effects that "Horizon" so effortlessly pulled off. A cruise ship goes missing in the late 70s in the Burmuda Triangle and suddenly reappears present day. Judd Nelson and Lance Henrikson are among the people who get to investigate it. What ensues are a few minor scares, but mostly some confusing camera angles that suggests the director got squeamish and backed off on the gore. Big mistake. Instead, the movie is only mildly scary and the characters too undeveloped to care for. Rent it only if you're having a B-movie marathon.
