Review of Meek's Cutoff (2011) by Jason L — 23 Jan 2012
Probably the most realistic portrayal of families on the Oregon Trail I've ever seen. Their life was miserable, arduous and seemingly futile at times. Unlike the viewers of the movie, there was at least a resolve to their journey - they died or they made it to their destination.
I am not saying a movie has to have a clearly defined ending (e.g. No Country for Old Men), but I hated it that I wanted all of them to die of dysentery or a massacre. So I guess the movie was effective in that I felt like I was living the Oregon Trail experience.
It also made me miss playing the game on a Commodore 64.
