The Rift: Dark Side of the Moon

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?

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.

What the hell is going on? This movie is incredibly, amazingly, tremendously bad. It does not know what it wants to be. One unifying factor to the entire movie is the laughably over-dramatic soundtrack. So it was trying to be something like sci-fi horror-fantasy, but ended up an awful steaming pile of crap with an awful soundtrack. Also, "Death is dead." if there is something I cannot stand it is pseudo-profundity. What a piece of crap.

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.

This is one of those kind of movies that you watch at 4 AM on channel 742 because there's nothing else on and you can't sleep because you have a bad head cold. The Rift is a sort-of-cool idea that inspired a script but at the end of the day really got marginalized as a plot point and didn't need to be there. The apocalypse bit at the end that evolves from the astronaut probably would have been a better idea for a movie. As much as I hate to crap on the work of artistic people, I really have nothing positive say about this movie. I hope it paid their rents.
