Summary and Review of “The Shift”
"The Shift" is a sci-fi drama by Angel Studios, kind of like Marvel's multiverse. It's about Kevin, played by Kristoffer Polaha, dealing with weird things after losing his job. The story goes into different realities but gets confusing.
Kevin meets Molly, played by Elizabeth Tabish, and it leads to sad things. The mysterious "Benefactor," played by Neal McDonough, recruits Kevin. The Benefactor offers Kevin a chance to be a "Shifter," controlling realities. Kevin, guided by faith, says no, leading to adventures in different dimensions.
The movie tries a loose version of The Book of Job, mixing sci-fi and faith. But it gets a little hard to understand. Kevin jumps between dimensions, meets different Mollys, and deals with the mysterious Benefactor.
Even though it mixes sci-fi and faith, "The Shift" doesn't explore its theme well. The story doesn't have much depth or strong feelings. It talks about a world without belief but doesn't say it clearly.
The filmmaking looks cool with sci-fi stuff and different worlds, but it doesn't show the differences between Kevin's travels. The acting is mixed, with Polaha doing okay, McDonough doing great, and the others struggling. Sean Astin's part makes the movie weaker.
"In the end, 'The Shift' is more about faith than sci-fi." It doesn't think deeply about different dimensions. Even though Heasley directs well, the writing isn't great, making "The Shift" not so interesting in the mix of genres.
