The Rift: Dark Side of the Moon

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.

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.

Yes, the music was bad on this movie. I would have rather watched in silence. I eventually turned off the sound and read the captions.

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?

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.
