Ozzy Mandias It would be one thing if this movie was just billing itself as fan fiction. However, it is such a complete whitewashing of history that it only vaguely resembles the Joseph Smith of reality. What the movie doesn't cover:Smith's polygamous/polyandrous marriages (and lifelong public denial of them).Smith's unsuccessful treasure digging by using a "seer stone" that he found while digging a well.Smith translating the Book of Mormon using this same seer stone by putting it in a hat.Smith creating the Book of Abraham by translating ancient papyrus that eventually turned out to be nothing about Abraham.Smith verifying the authenticity of and translating the Kinderhook Plates (plates that eventually turned out to be a hoax).Smith ordering the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor's printing press because they exposed his polygamous activities.

Addy Hampton This movie is totally amazing. I watched it many years ago and it inspired me. I am so glad that I was able to find it and watch it again. I recommend it greatly and I promise you will never look back. I love seeing inspiring movies, especially about people who have changed the course of history and influenced others lives even years later. I often felt strong emotions in this movie, and I hope you will to. It talks about the life of Joseph Smith according to him and those there. And will strengthen your testimony an your relationship with god. I know god was in this mans life and totally in this movie. If you don't believe me? Watch the movie. I hope you like it!!!

carrie-163 This is one of the most spiritual movies I have ever seen. I headed up with about 150 people to St. George and we saw this movie in the visiting center of the St. George temple.. Not one person had dry eyes in the audience. Also, there were some non- religious and anti-Mormon people in the audience who felt the spirit of the movie and were touched by the captivating music and reenactment of the story of the pioneers and the hardships they faced because of their beliefs.I recommend this movie for anyone who wishes to understand more about Joseph and the hardships that the pioneers went through. After all, it is apart of American History.

marenuts This movie was beautiful. It was full of memorable imagery, good acting, and touching subject matter. It would be very easy to write it off as being too sentimental, but that is the sentiments this type of a movie is trying to achieve. I was totally involved in the story's unfolding and presentation. There were a few cheesy shots, but such is to be expected in a religious propaganda film. The only complaint I can conjure is there wasn't a ton of details. However, this movie wasn't created to explain every element of Joseph Smith's life, ministry, triumphs, controversies, failures etc.; it was designed for a quick glimpse at a few highlights of one of the most amazing American and historical religious figures of all time.
