I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The first must-see film of the year.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I finished watching this movie and was surprised on how it could only get a 5/10, although the acting was lacking, the story was compelling especially being based on actual events.Reading through the reviews it seems that this truly is a tale of two view points. If you like a fact based movie, or can relate to a religious minded community, or even if you are not religious but can see how a religious community would take this event as faith building, you will love this movie.The other half of the reviews that give this a 1 are mainly summed up thus. You either hate religion in general and are offended that a religious community would give credence to their God for what they plainly see as a miracle, or you are of the other spectrum, you claim to be a religious person but are bigoted towards religions that are not yours.This was a faith based community that obviously sees this experience as a miracle from God, it does not attack other faiths, if this was a Muslim community it would be praise to Allah, not sure why you want to change the facts to make everyone happy.

I didn't expect anything from this movie and I turned out loving it. I see a lot of negative reviews and it seems to be based upon that it's a true story where people see miracles/angels and their faith is strengthened/validated. If that is offensive, or you think faith in God is absurd- seriously don't watch this movie. If you're not offended by that, enjoy. This is a really great movie about a near massacre that happened in 1986 and I have never heard of it. Just knowing something new in our history is interesting to me. The victims are my age and it's neat to see where they are now and to hear their testimony. If you believe the dozens of eye witness accounts of angels, it really is an incredible story. The acting was good and the story line never lulled. I highly recommend.

I have just one word for this movie: Stooped! (yea the movie is so retarded and bad I don't even have to use proper spelling to be better than it)***dont read the following lines are just so that i can pass the IMDb 10line review limit....***Last but not least (because IMDb require me to put more lines... how to put more lines when the entire 1 and a half hour movie plot is one dorky scenario about childish(at best) assumptions and interpretations beginning with a man that wants the air to make burn so that can make a stupid bomb -instead of a c4 one which would cost him much less compared to the trials he made the hours he spend and the buss he demolished to test his contraption.... ) I never with any of my accounts rated a movie so low... and I have seen some shitty movies....

Shame on you all who have written derogatory things about these people, their religions (yes, the Catholics and Protestant kids who were have mentioned being offended that you all ignore them and focus this event on the LDS). We have a summer cabin in this area and I personally know some of these people. They're not liars. In all my reading of these reviews, I haven't read one piece of good evidence that it's NOT true. Shame on you for crapping on my friends! Focus on the film more and less on your prejudices. If IMDb lets all your prejudice be published on their site, I surely hope they will my urging for you to be kinder and less judgmental, spiteful, or hateful in your remarks, especially of the people, their religions (that is the kind of stuff that shouldn't be published), and just focus on the film, not so much to belittle others' beliefs and intentions. You don't even know these people. How could you possibly judge? Again, shame on some of you!
