Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Load of rubbish!!

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

One of the worst films I've ever seen, partly because the script was so poorly done and direction allows little from actors.

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.

A lot of the LDS films out there are plain bad. This one takes the biscuit. It is meant to be an uplifting, emotional story where they combine stories of two of the more infamous LDS Handcart companies and track their journey west. It was meant to showcase the faith of those who undertook the journey, and make me wonder how I can exhibit such faith in my life.Instead, it taught me the opposite about faith than we are taught about on Sundays. It also made me furious at the LDS church for their treatment of the only sensible character, Levi Savage. There is not really a point to watch this film if you aren't LDS. There is also no point watching it if you are. Pick an old classic, or just read a book. You will regret it less.If you are looking for a churchy film to watch on a Sunday evening, or at a church event, don't bother with this one. The tears you shed at the end will be for the 113 minutes you will never get back.

This film is diabolical. How has it got 7.3 as I watch it. Without giving anything away when daughter prays for mother who has lost hope and a pie arrives in a tray COME ON! I had to switch off. I thought it was miracle in a complete chance circumstance type not bible type crap. If I watched on I can imagine they would have parted a sea and fed the 5000. Disappointed. If you believe Jesus worked miracles watch this you will probably enjoy it. If you believe Jesus was a nice bloke that could not then stay clear of this film because it is very fanciful. Wasted a hour, glad I called a halt to this film YUK!
