Tripping the Rift: The Movie (2008)

Total Waste Of Time

Speaking as someone who actually likes Tripping The Rift....don't waste your time on this worthless piece of garbage. It's three separate episodes shoddily slapped together, and isn't even CLOSE to being as funny as the regular series is. It's sad how poorly done this was. Talk about slapping something together to try and cash in while something is hot, this is the absolute worst. Go back and watch Season 1 again.... June 10, 2008

SF SATIRE

Combine Star Wars, Star Trek and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (The books ) with soft porn and you have Tripping the Rift:The movie.

This animated feature should have been put on Sci Fi Channel, but the suggestiveness would been too strong for American TV.

To reveal the plot would spoil the fun for you who would buy and watch this satire. Lets just say our heroes need to protect a bratty foul mouth Princess..and let your imaginations run wild with their antics

This funny satire spoofs and parodies everyone and everything science fiction and fantasy with charm of a BULL ELPHANT..But that is what makes this film something to get. and that alone is why you should get the series and this movie on DVD

average show

the graphics are top notch and the storyline is pretty interesting. The problem is that it isn't just that funny. Really, the only reason why people watch is for the giant ***** of the main girl character, the robot woman. That's it. If you like the show, you'll love this. If not, pass. May 16, 2008

price. Was it interesting....sure it was...and im glad i got it ..and

I Think I Just Rusted Myself

In a measure of full discloser, I have never seen an episode of Tripping the Rift, or could even tell you what channel it is on, before checking out the aptly titled Tripping the Rift: The Movie. So this review is from that point of view and if you are a longtime fan of the show you may want to skip this review.

For those that haven't seen the show, it wants to believe it is South Park meets Star Trek in that the characters are fowl mouthed in a setting of space. But the planets that they visit should look familiar because they are all based on pop culture. First the crew head to a black and white setting reminiscent of the old Frankenstein, followed by trips to an Indiana Jones themed planet before going low key on Hysteria Lane surround by desperate, albeit green, housewives.

The lead cartoon Chode (voiced by Office Space's Stephen Root) is your typical purple captain who cares more about sex than, well, just about everything else combines. Which could explain the inclusion of Six (voiced by Singled Out's Jenny McCarthy) in the crew, a sex slave cyborg. Rounding out the rest of the crew is Chode's inept nephew Whip, T'nuk, who sounds like a combination of every lunch lady ever (prudes and females in general may not want to spell her name backwards), and the ambiguously gay robot Gus. Although they should have learned from Ace and Gary, ambiguously gay dudes are much funnier in pairs.

Also thrown in the mix for the movie is a killer robot clown from the future sent back in time to kill Chode. Yes this is an obvious Terminator reference, but instead of going into a biker bar to get cloths, it is a bar that launches plenty of Gus jokes. There are plenty of decent laughs throughout the movie that it almost makes me want to hunt down where the television show airs. Almost. May 10, 2008
