Watch The Rig For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

One of my all time favorites.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The Rig was forced upon me because I decided to watch it before it expired on instant and I always try to watch everything on my queue before it expires. That being said, I probably would never have watched this movie without that nudge...It starts off with some of the worst acting I have ever seen and that is saying a lot because I've seen some bad movies. Some movies can overcome even bad acting if the plot is good. This movie is not one of those. After the horrible voice-over, the movie just goes downhill. There are some decent things about the movie but nothing that can make up for what this movie is lacking. William Forsythe, Art LaFleur and (maybe) Serah D'Laine make every other person's poor acting stand out that much more. Unfortunately for Forsythe and LaFleur, their costume department decided that it was necessary for them to wear pants that go up to their man boobs. The other good thing I can think to say is that the poster looks great.The major problem I have is that The Rig hits on just about every one of my major pet peeves about any feature. There are some flash backs to a scene that you just saw 5 minutes ago... The writer uses poor dialog such as "I am your daughter" and "we are brothers" because it seems as if they think the audience is made of up a group of fools that cannot figure out what relationship everyone has to each other without it being in your face. Horrible. The graphics are poor at best and probably unnecessary at times. The alien / monster thing made me laugh out loud with how poorly done it was. It looked like a guy in a leotard with an alien mask who loved to be in a 4 point stance at all times. William Forsythe is on the cover of every poster as the main actor in this movie and he dies halfway into it. The list goes on and on.Like I said, William Forsythe and Art LaFleur are good but nothing can overcome the amount of flaws in The Rig. It's not the worst movie I have ever seen but it was pretty bad.

This horror film is set aboard an actual oil rig--one that was the first of its type and is a museum today. A cute twist is having one of the characters actually wearing a t-shirt for the museum in one scene! On the rig, some underwater beast is disturbed and comes aboard to pick off the crew one by one."The Rig" is a low budget horror film with very modest production values in most ways. However, in two ways the film was quite outstanding--the blood and gore was a lot more realistic and profuse than you might expect and the musical score was great and really added to the tension. Otherwise, the film is clearly inspired by films such as "Alien", "Predator" and "The Thing". The idea of an alien slowly picking off members of a group certainly is NOT original and the writing could have been a lot better (the characters sometimes seem like caricatures and the ending is weak). It also suffers some from a few stupid clichés (such as adding nudity where it is pretty inappropriate) and seems a bit formulaic. Overall, the way I see it, if you like gore and low-budget monster films, you'll probably enjoy the film. If not, you'll probably wonder why you've wasted nearly and hour and a half of your life.

As you can see from the general tone of the user reviews, there is a great deal wrong with 'The Rig'. These are my additions to that corpus of knowledge. 1) If you're going to steal 'Alien', the least you can do is make your 'creature' look a bit different. Why is something which supposedly evolved at the bottom of the sea going to develop feet, legs or indeed a humanoid body at all? It's a guy in a suit, and all the editing in the world isn't going to disguise that. Not even if you dub on 'lizard-breathing' noises, which happens pretty much every time you see it. In fact, the only time the monster(s) make a noise is when they appear on the screen. 2) If you're going to steal 'The Thing', don't draw attention to it by having one of the characters describe the creature as 'The Thing'. That's just the sort of thing we viewers pick up on as the failed 'hide in plain sight' script gambit. Its intention is to cover up a blindingly obvious script deficit by attempting to be clever and 'postmodern' about it, but it never works. In all seriousness, even if you have a '10 for $10:00' hire deal and can't find one last DVD which looks even mildly interesting, think twice about 'The Rig', and keep thinking until you decide against it. You might need that 90 minutes for something more rewarding.

It's the same old story of a group of people being hunted down by some monster that's fast and deadly. But the horrifying extermination is happening not at a jungle, a run-down building or an isolated farmhouse, but at a freaking oil rig! That's new :)Probably the only plus point is the suspense, which's nice. And of course, how can I forget? The hot skin show!The acting by all is mediocre (William Forsythe including) and the monsters turn out to be dumbos by the end of the movie. I guess the script writers lost patience or just ran out of creativity.Tagline of the movie - "Some things are not to be disturbed." Yes, leave the movie alone!
