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.

Popcorn filmmaking at its best. Reminds me of the mid-80s when all those original, sincere movies were being made like Back to the Future, Gremlins, Goonies, etc...

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Balanced, quality independent movie that exceeds the expectation from an indy movie. Lance Henriksen is also a surprise in a deadpan comedy role.

A great little gem! It proves that a decent movie can still be made without the name "Marvel, StarWars, or Disney" at the front. Not sure if it based on a comic book or not, but it felt pretty original.

An origin story that doesn't have DC or Marvel or Disney stamped on the front. Fantastic to see that a movie can be made from an original idea and not some franchise, brand, old tv show or comic book. It may not be perfect, but definitely fresh.

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

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

Battle Royale With Cheese

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...
