| User ReviewVictoria LThis film is very entertaining, with lots of action, beautiful scenery, authentic costumes, and a mystery to solve. The plot examines the interplay of faith and belief in a way that conveys the message without being preachy. I have seen it twice and recommend it. |
| User ReviewMariann LI expected this movie to be a faith promoting historical event, but soon realized the plot in pursuing 16 stones was fictional. It then became awkward to watch the characters relate to the sacredness of the Book of Mormon, talk of golden plates, and seek spiritual guidance to find the sixteen stones used to guide Nephi's vessel. It was like watching Indiana Jones praying over his great treasure seeking adventures. Mixing fantasy with sacred scriptural accounts just doesn't work. I found myself wincing over what the non Mormons in the audience unfamiliar with Mormon doctrine were thinking. The mixture of fantasy with sacred accounts had to be confusing making the entire Mormon adventure as weird. Beyond the historical fantasy, the plot was choppy and dragged on. However, It was nice to see an attempt of creating great family entertainment that is laking in Hollywood, yet, the producers shouldn't assume a Mormon only cultural audience. In a sense, it was a bit rude to those not in the circle of knowledge. |
| User ReviewLon DThis show is almost as terrible as Noah. The acting is terrible and the story is so far fetched it is beyond terrible!!! |
