Just saw The Shift. It is marketed as a Sci fi flick. It is a heavy handed blatant retelling of Job. It was so hard to sit thru the whole thing. The Sci fi made no sense and all the science was just a tool to preach the message. After it was over I looked up who put it out. The same people who did Sound of Freedom. Totally deceitful. When the story ended, the lead talked to the audience giving a QR code to buy tickets for other people to come and see the message of ‘hope’.

Well I’m here to warn all of you: don’t bother.

    That might be their new MO to inflate numbers cause it worked for The Sound of Freedom. Just because you buy people tickets doesn’t mean people will see it. But I guess they make their money so they don’t care/mind.

      Similar to political campaigns buying up huge numbers of copies of their candidate’s book to make it look like it’s a bestseller.
