The Anti-Love Boat
Added 9/2/2009
A young boy loses his dad and new stepmum in a bizarre cruise ship disappearance. Twenty five years later, the boy has grown up to become Judd Nelson, parapsychologist. If ths isn't odd enough, he also discovers that the lost ship has re-emerged in the Bermuda Triangle! With the help of a film crew and Lance Henriksen, Nelson boards the drifting vessel. Soon, creepy "accidents" begin to plague our heroes, and several deaths occur. The cast runs around the ship, dying one by one. Then, the finalé comes. Many ultra-cheeezy CGI ghosts are unleashed, causing far more laughter than chills. THE END. LOST VOYAGE isn't terrible, it's just nothing spectacular... P.S.- Don't let the "R-rating" fool you into thinking that LV is a gory creepfest either. Aside from a couple of F-bombs and a scant amount of blood, this could have easily been rated PG-13...

I Love this movie
Added 2/17/2008
I love this movie. I saw it several times on the Sci-Fi channel before buying a copy. The plot and CGI effects are great. The movie is very scary and you never know when a ghost or ghoul will appear. You're on the edge of your seat until the end when the action comes to a peak.
Hint: Only 2 make it out alive.

Really "Lost" Voyage
Added 12/16/2005
I happen to like ghost ship movies, too. I saw this and decided to get it. Others here have described the plot, so I won't go into that. I found though that the plot was rather wobbly at best. Unlike "Ghost Ship", where we know the souls are trapped onboard and that there's an evil force that wants to add the heroes to the deceased passenger list, here we have no idea what exactly is taking shots at our intrepid adventurers. In "Ghost Ship", those who were taken in by the allure of illicit gold lost their souls. Here there's no criteria. There are times it seems like it's ready to take off, only to sink (pun intended) back into a mediocre plot. I didn't mind the ending, although it's just as unbalanced as the rest of the story.

Almost An Intelligent Thriller
Added 11/29/2005
"Lost Voyage," starring Judd Nelson and Lance Henriksen, is a very well done B-movie. It isn't quite as good as "Ghostship," which is similar since both are about a cruise ship that vanishes and then pops up a few years later with a few "stranded" passengers. Both films feature a shady salvage crew as well. That's about where the comparisons stop. "Lost Voyage" actually manages to be very enjoyable for the bulk of its duration. However, the ending, like so many before me have stated, is just a little bit goofy and off-center.
Nelson plays a likeable guy who is obsessed with the Bermuda Triangle and the "Corona Queen," the ship that suddenly pops up out of nowhere and carried his parents to their demise back in 1972. He uses plenty of neat little gadgets to track paranormal activity on the ship in hopes of finding out more about his parents' deaths and to assist a news team hoping to bank in on the spooky cruise ship. Lance Henriksen, forever a staple of excellent B-cinema, turns in a wonderful performance as the captain of the salvage crew hoping to make a fast and fat buck off of the wreck. The rest of the cast is comprised of unknowns who all manage to turn in pretty good performances.
Things start to go bump in the night aboard the wreck, and the crew comes face-to-face with an abundance of creepy images and nightmarish visions that are intended to scare the viewer but don't quite make the cut. As the body count rises, the survivors decide to get off of the ship as quick as they can. This results in more deaths and an ending that just falls terribly flat.
The special effects are hokey at times, especially in the ending, but they hold up well thanks to a decently written script with a reasonable plot.
If you enjoyed "Ghost Ship," you might want to give this flick a try. To be honest, though, I'd just wait until this comes on the SciFi channel before I'd buy it. It's worthy of a rental. After that, the buying is up to you.
