The Rift: Dark Side of the Moon

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.

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?

I've never thought of posting a review of a movie but I just watched this and had to point out how horribly bad the music is. Never in my life have i wanted to stop watching a movie because of bad soundtracks. It just doesn't get worse than this.

The premise of the movie seemed interesting, the acting seemed credible however the movie as a whole just was missing something it is hard to explain. The regular and incidental music was the biggest problem. The music makes this movie terrible, at the beginning you get some Pink Floyd soundalike, so ok for a movie called the "Dark Side of the Moon" we get the joke. The rest of the movie there was this completely unnecessary LOUD music used at all the wrong scenes. The music in a movie is supposed to add suspense, drama, emotion, and help to coalesce the movie together. All of the incidental music was too loud, poorly mixed, and just the wrong kind. The music sounded similar to the royalty free music used in documentaries about 20 years ago, it was complete garbage. The musicians would be better off going back to their regular jobs at McDonalds.

I wanted to like this movie but the music made me turn it off halfway through, glad I didn't pay real money to see this one.

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.
