Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
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.
This movie is so well done. There is a strong flow of emotions that will carry you away from fear and sorrow to hope and complete joy. 17 Miracles tells a few of the incredible true stories of pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As they trekked across the United States to find a safe home in the Salt Lake Valley, they were faced with trials that we could not comprehend today. Their faith pushed them onward when even when hope may have failed them. I could not stop the tears when I watched this movie for the first time, or any time, really. I wish I could say that I am as strong and faithful as these people were. Their example of faith in Jesus Christ is so inspirational. Leanna | www.lds.org
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
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.
