Review by jamesgreenwall

The Shift

4/10

Started Good Shifted to Bad

A religious movie about a man named Kevin who is transported into another world and uses god to get out.

Honestly this movie was really not that good. I went into this movie blind, as an atheist so this is a little biased. Don't get me wrong the movie started off so interesting and had so much potential. It had a super interesting plot however, it just fell very flat. It became so focused on the religious message that the plot fell apart and just wasn't as exciting. For someone of the religion it may have been more exciting however it just fell apart.

The story itself had a lot of holes too. For instance the ending doesn't completely work, the shifting has some holes in it as well. It isn't completely explained and while they do explain a lot, it still feels confusing.

The soundtrack is also pretty bad. It is the most basic religious movie soundtrack and it really doesn't add that much to the movie.

The acting however is very good. Every character does a good job and really puts in a lot of emotion that makes the story more bareable.

In conclusion, the movie was not very good. It had such a fascinating concept that is overruled by an over religious path as well as story holes and a boring soundtrack.
