Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
jserolf-56719 One of the worst films I've ever seen, partly because the script was so poorly done and direction allows little from actors.
merida 777 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
Matthew Dawson 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.
rightwingisevil beautifully shot with not bad acting. but this movie is definitely an overly religious pitching and empowered one from the very beginning, a mormon believer financed film, that treated every lucky survival as a miracle from the god almighty but never the torments and loss of lives and miseries. the first "brethren" appeared in the dialog just sounded like those movies about communists calling "comrade" to each other. this movie is for those strongly religious faithfuls, not for atheist non-believers (i, for one) who never believes god almighty was not a make-belief invention and imagination made by those self-serving and self-righteous rich and powerful persons or parties to subordinate those born poor and lowly. i fell sick by watching this constantly overly used religious thankful and self-humiliated words to some unknown imaginations.i rest my case.
