The Shift (II) (2023)
6/10
Christianity Meets Sci-Fi
4 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I saw The Shift, starring Kristoffer Polaha-Jurassic World Dominion, Wonder Woman 1984; Neal McDonough-Yellowstone_tv, Captain America: The First Avenger; Sean Astin-Stranger Things_tv, the Lord of the Rings movies and Elizabeth Tabish-The Chosen_tv, Alita: Battle Angel.

This is a religious tale that is a little different than the usual kind. You might say it's a Christians meets Sci-Fi drama where the Devil tries to persuade a good person to work for him. Kristoffer meets Elizabeth and falls madly in love with her. After dating a while, they get married and things are fine, until Kristoffer gets in a car wreck. When he wakes up in an alley, Neal is standing over him and helps him up. Neal tells Kristoffer that he shifted Kristoffer to another reality-Neal says there are multiple universes-and wants him to work for him. When asked for his name, Neal says he is goes by lots of names but Kristoffer can call him The Benefactor and that he shifts people all the time. Kristoffer just wants to get back to Elizabeth and doesn't want to work for Neal, which makes Neal send Kristoffer to a different universe. Kristoffer meets Sean on this world and they become friends. Things get a little weird here-even for a sci_fi movie-but I've seen worse. There are watches that can let a person travel between universes and even a movie theater that shows other universes-but only one person at a time can watch. About a minute or two into the end credits, Kristoffer pops up and talks a little about the movie.

It's rated PG-13 for violence and has a running time of 1 hour & 55 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD-once was enough-but it would be alright to stream.
