Do you remember District 9? Really killer flick. The director, Neill Blomkamp, did a short three years earlier titled Alive in Joburg to get backing for the full length feature.
No, The Rift isn't that good. But it kind of has that feel.
So, how was it? Plot novelty - eh. I wouldn't rate it that well.
Acting - the lead kid, Dean, not so hot. Actually I'd rate him as the worst of the bunch. He seemed pretty darn inexperienced and wasn't believable. His mother and the fat guy with the white tie were decent. The other kid in the diner wasn't as bad as Dean. I'd have had him do the lead.
Special effects - hey that's how stories are rated these days. Not that bad. Nothing outrageously fancy but not too bad.
