This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Sorry, this movie sucks

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Growing up Mormon as a strong female was tough. Its not a faith of equality. For all that I liked the pseudo history of the movie.

I think the most interesting part of this movie is trying to figure out just how many miracles there were and what they were. I think there were more than 17.A miracle to me is any event that cannot be explained by our 5 senses even with technology that would enhance those 5 senses. I'm not a great fan of coincidents, although somebody like Philip Yancy would argue those are the best pieces of evidence that you have for a miracle. Given my definition however, here are a few of my choices.1. the two girls going through the field with the rattle snakes. 2. The mother not being recognized by her abusive husband. 3. The courage and well being of the dwarf and the fact that he made it as far as he did. His complete acceptance of his fate in my mind was a miracle. He had much to be bitter about. OK I know that is not to be judged by the 5 senses definition. Sue me. 4. The fact that any of them survived given the stupidity of the leadership. I know, there was little choice in going on, but the main leader should have listened to Eli who knew what was involved. The trip could have been planned differently so the men could work. 5. The miracle of the jerky in the cave. 6. The survival of the love that Sarah exemplified. No bitterness there although a lot of sorrow.In all, this was pretty well handled. Spiritual movies are very hard to make, and I think on the whole this one was successful.

One of my favorite LDS movies, intense, moving, unique.I must admit I cried like a baby, maybe it's just because I'm a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day-saints, anyways, to my view they 're good actors and they were able to interpret these true stories full of miracles, not only seventeen, and that is totally inspiring.I think this movie helps people to realize that miracles really exist if we just exercise a little faith. My favorite story was that of this couple who wanted to be sealed in the temple, it's a demonstration of pure, passionate and eternal love, which is an example for the youth of our generation.I recommend it for everybody, member or non-member

I really, really enjoyed this movie. I do not see how, in retrospect, someone can dislike this movie, as it has so many wonderful aspects that make it shine. The acting was amazing, each actor fitting with the character they portrayed like fingers to the metaphorical glove. The cinematography, as I have come to expect from T. C. Christansen, was phenomenal and complemented the brilliant music that suited each subsequent scene in the movie. I, similar to other men out there, thought I was immune to crying in movies others would find sad, but I found myself silently tearing as I witnessed the tragic events that played out before me. To all those who feel like hating on this movie solely because of their personal prejudices against the church which it represents, I implore them to just watch this movie, and to not let their feelings get in the way of a wonderful experience.
