Nolan Parthmore was just a regular guy, hanging with friends, working his game store, flirting with his co-worker, then one day, destiny came calling. A courier delivers a mysterious antique helmet with no note or description. When Nolan puts it on, his whole world changes. The helmet comes to life and calls out to an evil demon, Lord Dragsmere, who was imprisoned by Nolan's deceased father. Nolan soon discovers he is next in the bloodline, heir to The Nobleman, destined to become a hero whether he wants to be or not. Since the Dark Ages, the Noblemen have been guardians against the 13 Devil's Apostles: dark forces escaped from hell and let loose upon on earth. Generations later, it's the heirs of these original knights that possess the power to open the Alpha Rift:the only defense against these supernatural foes.

Alpha Rift is an attempt at something and with the right execution it could have made way for a low budget franchise or even a series. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 12/16/2021

Modestly entertaining though cheaply made as a superhero time-travel fantasy adventure film. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com 12/15/2021
3/5
...this isn't Harry Potter, but a throwback to classic 80's and 90's movies, and works well on these terms... Go to Full Review Matthew Passantino Inverse 12/15/2021
It's a good-natured film that sometimes lacks real substance, but it offers just enough innocent escapism to supersede the script's flaws. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 12/07/2021
Inspired by fantasy video games, Alpha Rift is so shoddily made, it makes the most primitive video games from the 1980s look like masterpieces in comparison. What an embarrassing, amateur-looking mess. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alex R Aug 11 Those critics giving positive are jokes from unknown media, and the audience reviews made by 10y old board games enthusiasts ? This film has a terrible script with some of the worse acting ever shown on screen. The girl can’t say her lines, did they just ask a random girl in the street to play in the movie? How did Lance Henriksen ended in this movie? The production , the set, the costumes- those armors look dreadful - the VFX, the sword fights are laughable, all look goofy and cheap. I’ve seen student films better crafter than this. See more Mike H 10/20/2024 Movies like this are rare - a good story about a hero and his quest. See more Wendy M 10/20/2024 OK Super hero movie - Ok fantasy movie - Average all the way - not bad = not good..... middle of the road See more Charlie D 10/20/2024 A knight errant - a destiny and Lance Henricksen. The movie was really good. I love this kind of stuff. See more Calvin H 10/17/2024 Almost a super hero movie - almost a knight's tale - almost a D&D movie - that's a way to say it's not the best of anything, but a good average of everything - I enjoyed it all the way through - goos actors - good fights See more Jason V 10/17/2024 So this is one of those fantasy movies where they promise swords and sorcery - but only a few swords and no magic - however, it is a fun family film worth watching.
