TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

TexasK 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.

tvsitcoms This is a movie about a true event. Just like Apollo 16, the movie has to show what happened and not make up stuff on the way. Apparently to be able to watch a story no matter personal prejudices is not a ability many can reach. Saying that, lets make a review on this movie!This a well done movie and its easy to spot the director was very cautious about filming it according to the facts. Some small changes where made (I've search it on the net), i believe an example would be the child that suggested a collective pray, but the movie keeps truthfully to the facts and time-frame has it is movie possible. Inspite of the horror its going to tell this movie ends delivering to the audience a good worm feeling inside. One has to wonder, really... What has happen there?? Not even the bomb experts could explain why the explosive did not blasted everything near by. Then the children started to report they knew nothing bad was going to happen because they were told so by «angels». Miracles do happen. And they seem to be easily reachable to those who have a lot of faith.The only thing the movie could have invested more time on (but understandably couldn't because of its length and characteristics) was in the developing of the facts after the explosion. I've watch a documentary done years before and that gave me a better insite of this remarkable story. I know many of the now grownup children and families didn't wanna to have anything to do with the reporter's cameras or to see their drama or their faith explored by sensationalist media.Yet, I'm glad they made a movie out of it. And I guess they can be too.

superscrounger This is a film about faith. I imagine many people who watch it may be aware of that beforehand. But if you weren't, and it projects ideals you disagree with, it is best to acknowledge that in a civil, thoughtful, non-attacking way. Often, if I am critical of material I find offensive (excessive, gratuitous violence and gore, or pornography) I get the injured (and ironically, almost pious) response of "Well, if you don't want to see it, don't watch it." Then they adamantly add "But don't criticize my choices or get in my way." And they cite the First Amendment.That works in both directions. Realize it. Acknowledge it. Embrace it.

ckembar1972 I will only comment about the fundamental suggestion of this movie. While I am writing this comment I'd like to remind you of some of statistics as they occur right now worldwide: 786,671,638 people are undernourished in the world, 20,571 people died of hunger today, 6,281,533 children died under 5 this year, 284,103 mothers died during birth this year, 1,389,238 deaths caused by HIV/AIDS this year, 6,787,205 deaths caused by cancer this year, 810,608 deaths caused by malaria this year, 4,131,243 deaths caused by smoking this year, 2,066,926 deaths caused by alcohol this year, 886,198 suicides this year, 1,115,568 road traffic accident fatalities this year, and the list goes on and on and on... I guess they had better been living in Cokeville.
