The Shift 2023 - Blu-ray Forum

Another Angel Studios release that gets a bit preachy. Basically a story about the multiverse. Neal McDonough does a good job as the antagonist but I didn't find any of the other actors intriguing. Director Brock Heasley swapped aspect ratios multiple times during the film which I personally don't care for. As with After Death and Sound of Freedom there is an ad at the end where they ask you to buy a ticket for someone that can't afford to buy their own. I didn't think it was a bad film but was hoping for more. 6/10.

I like Polaha so I'll pick this up when it comes on blu.

I like Tabbish a lot, but this movie looks corny, and I like multiverse stories. I'm not sure if the amount of praise it seems to be getting online is from bots or sycophants. Is it less corny than it looks?

I just watched it today, went in 100% blind, thought it was just a sci-fi movie didn't know it was a Christian movie

It is corny. It's definitely made for a Christian audience who will surely like it more then others. It drags around the middle but the beginning and ending are really strong

Neal McDonough was insanely good in this

I thought it was really heartfelt, I liked it allot

I'm a Christian, and had high hopes for this after seeing the trailer. Wow.....I was terribly disappointed. I had such a hard time following the storyline, caring for the characters, and even SEEING the image, it was SO DARK and the image was under such a horrible filter, there was hardly ANY color at all, too harsh on the eyes, and overall....not entertaining at all.

But I DO admit, the acting wasn't that bad, I think the fault lies in the writing, the directing, and the cinematography. The story just seemed so thrown together and there's no real message at all. It's TRYING to be a real faith film, but it even fails at being that. I wasted my money and wish I could have my time back.

Not giving up on Angel Studios, I LOVE The Chosen and The Sound of Freedom....but this one was a real dud.
