A fair amount of drama and it may not appeal to those who aren't already members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

It's been too long for me too fairly judge this; I don't even remember what I thought of it, tho I'm sure I liked it.

MCT:August 21, 2007Hello Mormon blockbuster!!
Been forever since I seen this though.
And the guy on the cover, who I'm only assuming is Jo Smith, looks just like George!! o.O !! -
MCT:May 1, 2007This stirs within me the deepest and most profound feelings of eternal love and faith. I'm LDS and so it is near and dear to my heart.

Amazing rendition of the books! I think people that aren't mormon would like this movie and appreciate it.Its a very well made movie! The books and movie follow a loosly based fictional family(the Steeds) that joins the Latter Day Saint Church or the "Mormon Church." It follolws the struggles that the family had to over come,,and the prophet Joseph Smith as well. All of the events that happened to Jospeh Smith in these movies really DID happen.It a wonderful telling of Mormon History,and United states history.Even if you aren't Lds,or "Mormons" as most people call us,I hope you'll give this movie a chance cause it really is a beautiful movie based on true events.The movie is well made and the acting is superb.And as you watch it you can feel a real truth,peace,and light when you watch this movie and the others.Keep an open heart when you watch his,and most definently the holy ghost will testify to you the truthfullness of this show.

Beautifully done, historical accurate and great acting. Sam Hennings is believable and charismatic. A story that needs to be told.

MCT:November 9, 2006These movies are so sad, but really good. Part of what makes them sad is the fact that they are based on what really happened.

I really like Gerald N. Lund's book series of this, so I was skeptical about this film, but it met my expectations pretty well, actually. Everyday life in the 1830's is portrayed nicelyl (besides the fact that they would all be dirtier, but who wants to watch a movie with a bunch of filthy people in it?). The actors do a really good job, especially Brenda Strong and the actor who plays Joshua Steed, although I was surprised that someone from Desperate Housewives would act in an LDS film. All told, I am really happy with the way it turned out.

This is an awsome movie. This is the movie to see for all those interested in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Even if you're not, it's a good movie to watch because it depicts mormon history quite accurately. If You have ever had a question about what we [Mormons] believe, this movie will help you to understand.

Filmed by Oscar winning cinematographer TC Christensen, this is a timeless story of religious belief and persecution. It chronicles the founding of the LDS church and their search for a place to call home in a dark period of religious persecution in America. Based on the award winning series of novels.

MCT:May 16, 2006Not very good. I don't think Joseph Smith would have really whacked people over the head with the gold plates, but then again...?
