I think the most interesting part of this movie is trying to figure out just how many miracles there were and what they were. I think there were more than 17.A miracle to me is any event that cannot be explained by our 5 senses even with technology that would enhance those 5 senses. I'm not a great fan of coincidents, although somebody like Philip Yancy would argue those are the best pieces of evidence that you have for a miracle. Given my definition however, here are a few of my choices.1. the two girls going through the field with the rattle snakes. 2. The mother not being recognized by her abusive husband. 3. The courage and well being of the dwarf and the fact that he made it as far as he did. His complete acceptance of his fate in my mind was a miracle. He had much to be bitter about. OK I know that is not to be judged by the 5 senses definition. Sue me. 4. The fact that any of them survived given the stupidity of the leadership. I know, there was little choice in going on, but the main leader should have listened to Eli who knew what was involved. The trip could have been planned differently so the men could work. 5. The miracle of the jerky in the cave. 6. The survival of the love that Sarah exemplified. No bitterness there although a lot of sorrow.In all, this was pretty well handled. Spiritual movies are very hard to make, and I think on the whole this one was successful.

One of my favorite LDS movies, intense, moving, unique.I must admit I cried like a baby, maybe it's just because I'm a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day-saints, anyways, to my view they 're good actors and they were able to interpret these true stories full of miracles, not only seventeen, and that is totally inspiring.I think this movie helps people to realize that miracles really exist if we just exercise a little faith. My favorite story was that of this couple who wanted to be sealed in the temple, it's a demonstration of pure, passionate and eternal love, which is an example for the youth of our generation.I recommend it for everybody, member or non-member

Most viewers will be overwhelmed at the number of ordeals and miracles that are shown. Movies such as this instills a great respect to our pioneers depicted on this film. "17 Miracles" is really a miracle. The first few seconds are somewhat disturbing like a horror film but as the stories unfold, miracle after miracle will leave your heart with shock and awe The stories are beautifully written and they come to life in every frame. It is not wholesome for there are thematic suffering and hardships that might offend children so parental guidance is recommended. The lead actor who played Levi Savage is very good at the portrayal of his part. I Highly recommend it. We need more inspiring films like this in our homes.

This film is diabolical. How has it got 7.3 as I watch it. Without giving anything away when daughter prays for mother who has lost hope and a pie arrives in a tray COME ON! I had to switch off. I thought it was miracle in a complete chance circumstance type not bible type crap. If I watched on I can imagine they would have parted a sea and fed the 5000. Disappointed. If you believe Jesus worked miracles watch this you will probably enjoy it. If you believe Jesus was a nice bloke that could not then stay clear of this film because it is very fanciful. Wasted a hour, glad I called a halt to this film YUK!
