Alpha Rift

It was pretty cheesy and some corny dialogue, the main char was a bit annoying, but it was kind of fun, didnt take itself to seriously, very cliche story thats been told tons of times, i would say its worth a watch, has got some funny moments, and always nice to see lance henriksen, he actually is in the film the whole way through and wasnt just bought in for 1 scene for advertising, then killed of lol.

I watched this with my boyfriend and we didn't take this as a serious movie. Definitely better if you watch it as a comedy. Entertaining and fun. Good to turn off your brain for a couple hours. I'd give it a shot.

I feel like the training Nolan went through in the movie was quite short and to me that was a bit underwhelming, I think that if the training was longer and you could see Nolan becoming progressively more serious with his training over a longer period of the story's time then it would have had a nicer build up for Nolan's character. The ending scenario was also quite short, I think that if there was more of a struggle to defeat this evil villain then that would have been nicer I think.

However I really enjoyed the story's direction, and I could imagine that a sequel would hold a greater potential. So I hope that there will be more movies to come for this story.

I didn't really see any problem with any of the acting, overall it was good and I think it was fitting to see Nolan with a quirky personality in the beginning of this story, I would however hope that Nolan gets a more serious personality as his character grows stronger in a sequel.

It plays like a Marvel movie on a budget. The medieval backstory is interesting and the action is really competent. You can tell they didn't have a big Hollywood budget, but the story, characters are solid and I found myself enjoying myself.

It is light hearted, action comedy in the vein of an 80s movie. I could totally see this as a TV series or a couple sequels, mini series, etc.

Lance Henriksen brings gravitas to the movie and the Nolan actors is good.

Alright so I love an independent film centered on gaming, especially one with Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Predator, The Terminator). I also greatly appreciated the acting of Nielsen (Mare of Easttown) and Dalla Villa too. I thought the three of them in particular elevated a rather average script to have some endearing moments. Despite the fact this film seems not to be able to commit to what it should be (a kid's film in the vein of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" would've been the best approach), I can't help but rate it maybe better than it deserves. The acting by the main three deserves that much, and they made me like this one.
