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 portrays the everlasting battle of good versus evil. An origin story and a classic hero's journey. Demons, sword fighting, accidental romance and probably the starting point of a promising saga.

Rated: 8/10

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.

Modestly entertaining though cheaply made as a superhero time-travel fantasy adventure film.

...this isn't Harry Potter, but a throwback to classic 80's and 90's movies, and works well on these terms...

Rated: 3/5

It's a good-natured film that sometimes lacks real substance, but it offers just enough innocent escapism to supersede the script's flaws.

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

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Wasn't expecting much and It ended up being pretty decent. They didn't have a real budget for the VFX, but the action was cool.
