This is a strange one - the trailer looked pretty unnerving - but the finished film is deathly tedious. The director manages to concoct not a single scrap of excitement or fear from the horrific scenario.
The editing is slow to the point of being soporific. There was simply no tension or thrills - just a long drawn out pointless escapade.
The whole premise is scientifically ignorant - indeed comically stupid.
As are the digital FX of The Rupture.
The plot is fatally flawed in that for the vast majority of the film, the viewer has NO clue as to what is going on - just like the protagonist (well played by Noomi Rapace I guess - but all she does is lie flat on a table looking worried or crawl through a vent) - and so dramatically, the entire movie flatlines as the viewer is kept guessing as to the point of the whole thing to the point of tedious distraction.
When the explanation comes - it's cheap and stupid.
Avoid.
