Whether you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or not, this film is a must see. The visual and sound effects are spectacular, and the acting is superb. The story is very accurate to history.
The only real way to fully appreciate this film entirely is to see it IN the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City. This movie was made specifically for this theater. Therefore, the sound, screen, and over-all experience is somewhat hindered if it is viewed elsewhere such as online or on DVD. Do not let that dissuade you, though in deciding on whether or not to see this film. See it wherever and whenever you are able, and if you ever happen to visit SLC, see it in the theater that it was filmed for. You will not regret it.
Oh, and no matter what your religion or lack of religion, good luck getting through this film without breaking down in tears. It is not possible.
