The Cokeville Miracle

I found this movie to be a feel good great movie and yes the acting and effects were not the best I still found it engaging and tugged at the heart strings

This movie was not made to win awards or make celebrities, this movie was created to let people know of the miracle that happened on that day 30 years ago and I believe it did just that for me.

There are a few parts that could've been adjusted probably with a larger budget, but if i wanted CG graphics and special effects I would watch something else

The fact that I had never even heard of this real life miraculous story until now makes me rate it even higher.

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone interested, the world could use a little more movies like this.

I honestly can't help but laugh at these negative reviews about this movie. If you don't like the acting, effects, etc., fine, but giving the movie 1 star because you don't like the way the miracles in the movie were shown is stupid. The accounts of angels and miracles are documented by real people who went through this terrible situation. Whether they're true or not is besides the point. Some people on here are saying "Why would God save them and not others," but this is a question unrelated to this movie's quality and presentation. It's like giving God Himself or the kids who told gave these accounts 1 star. The director and actors presented a documented story as told by real people. They didn't take any liberties or choose the way the story ended. If you're not religious, you probably won't appreciate the movie, but don't blame the directors for making "religious propaganda" or relating events that "don't make sense if God is a just god." The events did happen, or at least that's what the children said. Take it up with them if you don't believe it.

This movie won't be winning any awards for acting, although a couple of the kids were pretty good. And not the best special effects, but they did great for the budget they probably had to work with. Definitely did NOT get 80's fashion and hairstyles down, and I guarantee they took artistic liberties with the story. What movie doesn't?

But look past that and you'll see a decent movie about a horrific event and how a tiny little town in Wyoming handled it. Real people, a real event, and how they overcame it all through prayer.

If you don't believe in prayer or divine intervention, you'll hate this movie because you won't be able to see past your own bias.

If i watch a movie about basketball... and i do not like basketball... then I complain about the movie having basketball in it. Then I should be considered a retarded IMDb movie critic...

A lot of the reviews here seem to put this movie in a bad light, AKA "Not a good movie". These bad reviews smell A lot like a anti-Christian agenda. Do not allow them to tarnish this film with false and inaccurate reviews.

This movie is based on a true story back in 1986. These people are real people, walking the streets right now. It was not a classroom of Christians, in a Christian school, living in jesusville.

This movie gave me a glimpse of the horror they experienced and their attempt to understand it. Great movie if you LIKE this genre (fireproof, God's not dead, heaven is real).

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.
