As sweet as a Twinkie and as fluffy as the clouds in a Utah sky
It’s a genre flick. A group of Mormon teenagers participate in a three-day reenactment of the trek of a group of 19th Century settlers.Or, as one character quips, “It’s Mormon cosplay.
The cast performs with the melodramatic earnestness of a high school drama troupe. The script presents foreshadowing with a clumsiness that becomes slightly charming. The spiritual message is delivered with a heavy-handedness that is only a little hard to tolerate . But “Trek-The Movie” has a great heart and and it is most definitely family friendly. For the life of me I can’t imagine what the MPAA saw or heard that motivated them to rate the movie “PG.” If ever there was a live-action “G”-rated movie, this is it. 6.5 out of 10.
A Mormon teen comedy/drama about faith
Tom is a modern-day Utah teen who lost his faith a year ago during a traumatic experience. Now he’s signed up for a three-day handcart journey, a re-enactment of the Mormon migration to Utah in the mid-1800s by dozens of high-schoolers. It’s a sort of Mormon vision quest and a rite of passage. However, Tom’s not feeling it. He says he doesn’t wish to become another “Latter Day Droid”: someone whose Mormon faith is automatic and unthinking. But Tom’s dad bribes him with a winter ski pass and the deal is sealed.The three-day trek across wilderness with his peers, pushing a handcart and living somewhat like the Utah pioneers of the 19th century affects most of the participants taking part in the re-enactment in very positive ways, teens and adults alike. I don’t want to say much more about the movie because I’d prefer not to spoil it.
You don’t need to be a Mormon to appreciate this movie. I’m not a member of the LDS church, for example. The movie’s surprisingly unjaded, like a Hollywood teen film from the 1930s or 1940s starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. So it’s a refreshing change from today’s more jaded, more nuanced Hollywood with its infinite shades of gray.
The characters in “Trek” are unusually polite, unusually sensitive to each other. Even the teens. Even the “NoMo” (non-Mormon) teen from LA who is on the trek with the others. Yet these teens are still contemporary. A few speak hip-hop slang for example, which at least grounds the film in the present though it stretches credulity to hear such polite kids speak fly. I’m guessing this movie isn’t going to get wide distribution. That’s a shame.
We’ve seen many similar movies about loss of faith for other religions: Christian, Roman Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, etc. Now, the LDS church has one of these films too and it’s uniquely Mormon, and uniquely flavored by the beautiful Utah scenery.
