Angel Studios has some real talent they are working with. Their flagship series "The Chosen" is some great story telling. Although based on biblical stories, the stories are largely original stories focused on the disciples that followed Jesus, and just really making them human, showing them dealing with the same issues many people deal with today. I can't wait for the 4th season!
Funny story about my experience at the theater watching this movie. When the credits started, I told my mom I had to go to the restroom and to wait for me outside the restroom. She said ok and I left. When I came out, she was nowhere in sight. I went back to the theater and the credits were still rolling but no one was in the theater. I texted her asking where she was and no reply. Went to the next closest hallway with a bathroom and she wasn't there. Also, looked at the lobby and didn't see her. I finally called her and she was in the entry of the theater. She had missed the first bathroom and was looking for me at the other. She waited a bit and finally decided to wait in the entrance. The funny thing is both of us had the crazy thought of did she shift? I love movies that can do that. That can make you think snd wonder.
No one gives a shit you sad dumb loser
So many faith based films are pretty cheesy with shallow storyline and bad acting. Angel Studios seems to be one of the first faith based production companies that understand how to produce a film with a premise that can appeal to a wide audience. Looks like a decent film.
The Shift only appeals to a wide audience because it's not Biblically Accurate in any measure.
I watched the movie this weekend and it's such a great Christian movie, it's a great way to show the scriptures and makes you want to learn more from the Source, I hope this inspires you to watch The Chosen
Also, Neal McDonough, who played The Benefactor, is an experienced actor. He's also in Minority Report (2002), which is another great Sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise. I definitely recommend you reacting to that film Mello.
Great movie. It's a scifi personal favorite and what got me into Tom Cruise movies (that and The Last Samurai).
I freaking love Neal McDonough. And man, was he chewing the scenery in this film. Dude was going for it.
Now this is lit!! 🔥 I think that popular reactors like you Mello are going to be the future for Hollywood marketing & promoting their new films to the public. Why? Because too many of these "Movie Critics" have fumbled the ball within the past decade. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿 And congratulations!! 🎊
10:47 all the quotes in the film are passages from the book of Job. This is very loosely a Job-like story, where the devil takes everything from him and tempts him to turn his back on God.
:edit: 14:30 yes, that
Angel Studios is my most favorite indie studio next to A24
My biggest issue with the Shift is that it spends a little too much time telling us its ideas instead of showing, but when it's doing it right, it does it very well. The core emotional drama is solid, in large part because of the lead actor, and the villain is both charismatic and intense. Personally, I would've trimmed some of the monologues and fogured out a way to visually communicate these themes, but beyond that, I very much enjoyed it. It almost has a bitter sweet ending that I appreciated.
Other "religious films" that I think range from very good to great are The Seventh Seal, Hacksaw Ridge, The Book of Eli, Silence, The Prince of Egypt, Signs, The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, The Passion of the Christ, Unbroken, It's a Wonderful Life, Kingdom of Heaven (the director's extended cut), Amazing Grace, Nacho Libre (yes, a comedy about a Mexican wrestler does have religious themes, even if they are implicit), A Christmas Carol (any of them, but I'm partial to the Disney animated version with Jim Carrey, a movie I consider to be Disney's last truly excellent film), The Witch, The Wicker Man (the old one with Christopher Lee, not the remake with Nicholas Cage, though be forewarned it's more than a bit explicit and doesn't really take sides), Jesus Revolution, the Chronicles of Narnia films, Doubt, and the Lord of the Rings films (it's not overt, more on rhe level of thematic subtext and symbolism, but Peter Jackson wemt to the effort to maintain as much of the themes and ideas of the books as he could, which translated into the preservation of a lot of the religious ideas that heavily influenced Tolkien's stories). Most "faith based films" suck for the same reason most "progressive films" that have especially become prominent in the last decade suck, because they're more interested in preaching a sermon than telling a good and well-made story. This movie gets a little too on the nose with its message at points, but the story is genuinely emgaging.
2:57 the coin reads "To Thine Own Self Be True - Unity Service Recovery."
It's an AA recovery coin. The Roman numeral I in the middle indicates a one-year chip.
That's why it's significant that, at the end of that scene, he pushes the full beer glass away from himself and invites her to a tea house. He was at a crossroads, and he made a choice to move forward, and that's actually kind of important to his character later on.
I mention all this not to suggest you missed it, but that, in explaining the coin, i realized mid sentence that this scene is doing a lot more work than i noticed on my first watch.
This is good. I wanted to watch this movie, but it's only showing in theaters that are way too far from my house. So thanks Mello, if it looks good I may rent it to watch the full thing
I met Kristoffer Polaha last week at a con in Jersey - what a wonderful person! Def will be checking out the film! Great vid!
After watching sound of freedom, I’ve been thinking about getting more into angel studios. I started watching the chosen a while back and was loving it. But sorta left it behind because of other stuff I was into.
Can’t watch yet cause I’m doing mine tomorrow but here for Al !
Congrats on getting it too my boy 💪🏽 excited to watch it
Great movie, saw it twice in 2 days and might see it again tomorrow or soon
Even hobos in the 1800s always tried heating up their beans if they could, eating cold beans from the can is some serial killer shit : P
I loved it. It was definitely an emotional watch for me. I could almost relate to the main character as I struggle with my own demons and I’m constantly fighting back for what I love. His wife is definitely his rock that he so desperately needs as is mine and I couldn’t imagine losing one of my little guys.
Glad you liked this. In the original short film, which you should check out to see the difference, I was the character Mark from the diner.
I love Angel Studios. But I am a follower of Christ. Angel Studios is the one that does The Chosen TV series. I actually liked Jesus Revolution. But I agree that most Christian films are cheesy. Sound of Freedom was great. Elizabeth Tabish plays Mary Magdalene in The Chosen.
Rotten Tomatoes Audience gives it 86% so far.
Thank you for watching this movie! I planned on seeing this movie in the theater but this is a good way to tide me over till I get to go see it there 👍🏾 I'm looking forward to Friday (that's when I'm, hopefully, going to see it)! 👍🏾
Please MellVerse react to Sound Of Freedom. This movie was good, but that movie is so much more powerful. Even though it may get taken down, it is still worth a watch.
Angle Studios hit up mell this is fire 🔥🔥
Yooo definitely watching this when it comes out
Nothing but happy for you mell hya more in the future my brother❤️
Ooo never been so early !
Listen, sir while I have your attention. Star trek discovery would change your life!
22:21 Dan Haseltine was the frontman for Jars of Clay.
10:35 I came for the Neal McDonough but i stayed for the John Billingsley
A movie I recommend watching is Daddy’s Home. It has Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. It also has a Christmas sequel with Mel Gibson. It’s even better than the first. Should check it out. They’re both hilarious.
American Made: It's an unbelievable true story and Tom Cruise was awesome in it, he actually flew the planes.
22:16 I kind of have to disagree a bit re: the editing. Overall I thought the movie was a solid B. For an Angel Studios film it's a top rate effort. But you said it yourself, the movie dragged a bit in the beginning. I thought there were a handful of scenes that felt like they went on a little too long. The ending especially, i think if they had ended on the conversation in the bar, held it just long enough to learn she was the nurse Molly, do the tea invite, then have her give a smile or some other clue that she was going to say yes and he would get a second chance at his life, then cut to black, that would have been a crisp ending.
They probably could have cut down the run time by six or eight minutes, had a much tighter story, and not lost anything.
And maybe made a little more effort to explain the rules of shifting. For a movie that had a bit too much tell don't show, i felt like they left a lot of the stuff about shifting off the table, like did that one guy know he would shift on the bridge, how can you tell, how does the chair work, etc. They left it vague enough to feel somewhere between mystical and random, compared to other near-future sci-fi like Looper or Everything Everywhere. But this last bit is a story gripe, not an editing gripe.
Glad I found this channel. I got to check this movie out!
Another religious movie that’s really well done & deeply thought provoking is, “The Record Keeper”! It’s full of intense action, cinematography, story, etc! Please check that one out, fam!
(…another one I really dig is called, Unconditional - 2012, with the beautiful Lynn Collins & Michael Ealy…)
Thank you for sharing
I think it’s interesting how little views this got which proves the industry is trying to gatekeeper this movie from people
Not true, it's the people themselves that just don't care. If it's not a big blockbuster they don't want to hear it.
MellVerse Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!
yo Mello, this is random, but I just finished your scary movie 2 reaction, and I think another Wayans brothers movie you would think was hilarious is White Chicks, Billie already watched it, and ya'll have almost the exact same humor
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
This was good
You should watch the Descent 2.
Why isn't this getting recommended?!?
Hey Matthew from the chosen.
Huge fan bro if you love Adam Standler you should watch Jake n Jill bro I know you like comedy
I feel like you would like police academy
Try to watch The Nutty Professor Eddie Murphy
You should watch the nefarious
I literally just walked out of the theater after seeing The Shift. Let me tell you - I shifted in my seat for the entire film.
I'm so conflicted as I am both a Christian missionary AND I disciple artists.
Why am I conflicted? Because I believe the gospel and I appreciate good art. There's nothing I want more than for people to hear the gospel and to have an opportunity to respond. There's nothing I want more than for Crwatives to know The Creator.
However, the Christian film genre has an identity crisis - is it art that is free to tell a good story? Or is it the true gospel smuggled into theaters regardless of a good story?
If we look at art in the Bible we see that it most clearly fits into the category of General (Natural) Revelation - Art is Romans 1 & 2. Jesus is Special Revelation.
The Shift was a wholesome movie which is Sliding Doors meets The Matrix - ish. From the very opening scene it was apparent that the fulm was going to cause me to Shift in my seat.
Final thoughts:
Adding recognizable celebrities to poorly crafted stories will never make good films.
I fear we have gone too far into the investment to stop making "Christian films" and just start making good films made by Christians.

Will you marry me? I love you
Yo. Don't sell out man. This movie isn't good; you know that.
Just Because you don't like it that makes me a sell-out? Really? What kind of logic is that? So anyone who promotes a movie, no matter if it's good or bad, is a sell. Ok, noted, thank you
Look, i like your content. You make me laugh.
… but u did a paid advertisement PRE-RELEASE that they KNEW and YOU KNEW would bomb at the box office because frankly, it blows, for financial gain, & then u stamp it with “ I wasn’t prepared…” Yes, that’s compromising integrity for financial gain, i.e. selling out.
If you don’t think so, maybe you should do some soul-searching
Just my opinion I guess. Do whatever you want with it. Happy holidays.
