Collider reports that Lost Voyage, a made-for-TV science-fiction film released on the Sci‑Fi Channel in 2001, reframed the Bermuda Triangle as a supernatural threat for television viewers.

Directed and written by Christian McIntire and headlined by Judd Nelson and Lance Henriksen, the film follows paranormal researcher Aaron Roberts, whose father and stepmother went missing on the luxury cruise liner Corona Queen. When the ship suddenly reappears near the Bermuda Islands, TV host Dana Elway assembles a camera crew, the cruise line’s representative and a salvage team to investigate; they find no obvious damage but soon face a spiritual presence that haunts and kills members while manifesting characters' private fears. The article notes the movie leans on psychological tension and claustrophobic atmosphere over effects, draws on disaster and stranded-ship influences such as Titanic, Event Horizon and Deep Rising, and holds a 33% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

While acknowledging limited special effects and a modest budget, the piece says Nelson and Henriksen's performances help ground the material and that Lost Voyage demonstrated the older Sci‑Fi Channel could still produce tense TV thrillers. The film is streaming on Prime Video in the US; its listed release date is October 23, 2001, and runtime is 96 minutes.
