Trek The Movie

I don’t know…

I feel like the central theme is going to be putting the “simulated experience for a simulated testimony” guy in his place. He’ll have a change of heart and be crying in some testimony meeting by the end of it all. Then all the moms of Mormondom will say, “Remember Tom from the movie… how he didn’t want to go and then…” every time one of their kids complains about having to do trek. :angel:

The writers are first-timer Jon Enos and David Howard, the original writer of the 1999 science-fiction comedy “Galaxy Quest.”

Now that’s quite a funny film but maybe they have the wrong “Trek”?

Crappy weather, infighting… I can think of a few ideas.

I have in-laws that give me Utah Mormon movies every single Christmas. Some are better than others and some are “solidly ok.” Maybe this one will be not terrible. I personally have mixed feelings towards Trek because I think they’d have a more genuine experience just going hiking for a week with firesides at night – but my two oldest daughters *loved* Trek even though both are very liberal for LDS kids.

My stake’s Trek always have at least a few non-Mormons attending and I know of one who did get baptized – but most don’t. If the movie is real the non-Mormons will leave respecting Mormons a bit more but probably wouldn’t become baptized because of it.

Somehow I told my (non Mormon) doctor about Trek and he said that every teenager in the USA should do it. He said we could all use a jolt of appreciation of civilization. That comment has always stuck with me coming from a very educated non Mormon.
