The Rift: Dark Side of the Moon

This is one of the worst movies I've ever had the pleasure, I mean torture of watching. Luckily, we were cooking maple syrup and got something else accomplished while this garbage was playing on the tube. Don't watch it. Consider yourself warned.

This movie was okay in a number of ways: the plot was actually somewhat interesting.

The acting and the dialogue were a bit bad at times, but also good at times - the female lead was generally good.

The few special effects were actually pretty good to support the plot line.

The camera work was low-budget at times. (I'm still trying to figure out - why do some shots look like "Cops"?)

Those things aside, the worst part of this movie was the absolutely inappropriate music / audio choices throughout. If this was just done better -- or even no music -- it would have been a 6 / 10 or maybe better.

As a sci-fi fan I can say this does not have any merit. There is no science in this fiction. It's loosely based around a time/space rift, but in a nonsense way. The acting is poor, the script makes little sense. The rating for this film is accurate, I would say a 4 out of 10 is about right. I struggled to stay awake at times.

Go bake a pie. Take a walk. Eat a whole pizza. Contemplate life, the universe and everything. There are so many more things you could do with these 90 minutes of your life. Don't waste them on this. It's bad. I mean really bad. I think giving myself a coat hanger lobotomy would actually be preferable to watching this again.

Just don't do it. This movie is a trap. Run away while you still can.

How the mighty have fallen. Monte Markham in a movie of this low quality is insulting to the actor profession. The movie has a stupid premise, a dumb story, really bad acting and a horrible script. The fact that is not really an American film, but a Serbian one spoken in bad English just adds insult to injury. The English subs for the movie were probably retranslated Serbian, because it was different from what people were actually saying.

No. Just no. I am all for indie movies and people that have no support from a movie industry like in Hollywood trying to make film, but when this is the result I just don't get it. Why bother making a movie if it is this bad? It's not like it would ever make money, and clearly no one loved doing this, so why do it at all?
