(Warning: MILD spoilers) I loved the character development in this movie. Unfortunately, the historical events depicted were VERY Luke-warm in their presentation. The most disappointing scene was of the Kirtland Temple dedication. The event was amazing for those who experienced it - and even some saw angels and others, outside the building, thought the building was on fire because of the glow. But in the movie there was nothing but mediocre singing with a voice-over of the Prophet reciting part of the prayer; very ho-hum.
Some of the effects were lousy due to the low budget (night scenes shot in the daytime, for example).
Overall, the story is excellent and it is an uplifting beautiful work; just not as polished or powerful as I would have hoped.
