The Rift: Dark Side of the Moon

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
