The Shift (2023)
Christian fantasy about praying being illegal
Very amazing fantasy movie for Christians, as it's all about their perceived persecution in today's political climate.
In the movie, some guy says a prayer (obliterating Satan) and is then forced into hiding for it by the media/police because it's illegal in the movie and that's what Christians believe is happening in real life. They want to be victims SO BADLY that they will portray this as what will happen to Christians in the very near future.
The total victimhood shown in this movie for the religious protagonist is so cringeworthy I had to walk out early rather than endure another minute of this drivel.
Never again going to endure another Angel Studios movie. I should have known by the fact that they're still distributing tickets for free what kind of movie to expect. I suspect they likely had another mid-credits plea begging the audience to buy tickets online to distribute to people for free (looking at you, Sound of Freedom).
Total cringe, don't waste your time.
Wish (2023)
The music was good, but the songs didn't move the plot forward
As stated in the title, the songs were pretty good and enjoyable, but ultimately felt entirely out of place and did nothing to move the plot forward. There's literally a scene in the movie where they sing about the fact that they need to expose the evil ruler, but during the song they are doing nothing but dancing around and waving objects through the air. We don't see any plans being made or objects being constructed, nothing to show they were actually doing anything to reach their goal. Ultimately, it felt pointless.
It's disappointing to see such a lack of creativity out of Disney. The idea for the plot was fine, but it feels like it lacked proper writing to make the story interesting. The King was exposed as the bad guy in the first 10 minutes. No build-up or any anticipation at all. I can hardly even call that a "spoiler".
Fine for young kids I suppose, but as an adult I can't imagine ever wanting to revisit this one. 5/10.
