September Dawn: Anti-Mormonism?

I came across this trailer when looking at some random movies that are on ComingSoon.net. The trailer itself is rather lame in acting and did not at all get me excited about the movie. But I was amazed at how much it hated on Mormon people. The trailer makes the movie look like propaganda to get people mad at the Mormons. Kind of like antisemitism I would call this antimormonism. Watch the trailer below:



The trailer portrays the Mountain Meadows Massacre as religious terrorism implying direct involvement of Briggam Young. This one won't be winning any Key Art Awards coming up on June 15th I'm sure of it. The only good thing about this trailer is that it has an interesting topic and a new view at the Mormon religion. I will not see this movie in the theater when it is released on June 22, 2007. I give this trailer a 2/10 .

Review of yesterday's post

Dragon Slayer was kind enough to remind me that I didn't write my opinionated review of yesterday's Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix trailer. So here is what I have to say about it:

I am glad that there is a large emphasis on action in this film. The other films have lacked great action scenes. The cinematography looks to be very Batmanish... it looks to be very dark in most scenes as the setting is growing more scary as Lord Voldemort is on the rise. The movie begins to lose its childish tint that it had in the first 4 movies. Harry and the others are not kids anymore, but decide to rise up and establish Dumbledore's Army. Harry Potter is getting older and seems that by the time the last movie is set to come out (2010) he should be well past the age of wizarding school.

Mostly unknown David Yates comes on board for the next 2 movies as the 4th director of the Harry Potter movies. It looks like he does a pretty good job with the acting and the sets from what I can tell so far. I am excited to see. The soundtrack should be good as well, but is also a stray away from the usual John Williams and Patrick Doyle, bringing in the unheard of Nicholas Hooper who has worked with Yates in the past. The soundtrack has done a great job of getting me excited for the upcoming movie. I love the clarity of the high definition trailers, so be sure to check those out with the link provided at the bottom (of the previous post).

9.5/10
