NANCY N Without question one of the top 5 worst movies I have ever watched. Horrible. Tedious. Without any redeeming qualities. Like it was made by a 9th grade theater arts class. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review steve w I SAT THROUGH THE SLOWEST MOVING SCRIPT, INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE EVEN WITH CLOSED CAPTION WHICH WORKED SPORADICALLY. I TOLD MYSELF, OKAY THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT WESTERN, BUT WE, THE AUDIENCE, WILL PROBABLY GET A 'COSMIC' ENDING. BUT NO!!!! IT ENDS WITHOUT ANY REAL CONCLUSION. REMINDS ME OF MY COLLEGE DAYS WHEN I WOULD FAWN OVER ANY FOREIGN FILM. WHAT DID I KNOW? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Brian B The acting was well done but there is no ending at all. Its like the movie just stops short of any type of ending. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched all of it but I have to say quite boring. I have trouble recommending this one but hey try it if you like James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas June 14, 2023. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Ola G A small group of settlers travelling across the Oregon High Desert in 1845 suspect that their guide, Stephen Meek, may not know the area well enough to plot a safe and certain route. A journey that was supposed to take two weeks, via what became known as the Meek Cutoff, stretches into five. With no clear sense of where they are going, tensions rise as water and food run low. The wives look on, unable to participate in the decision making, as their husbands discuss how long they should continue to follow Meek. The dynamics of power shift when they capture a lone native and hold him in the hope he will lead them to a source of water, despite Meek's wish to kill him at once. Meek argues that the native cannot be trusted, but the group by now have no confidence in Meek... Rotten Tomatoes consensus was, "Moving at a contemplative speed unseen in most westerns, Meek's Cutoff is an effective, intense journey of terror and survival in the untamed frontier." The story is loosely based on a historical incident on the Oregon Trail in 1845, in which frontier guide Stephen Meek led a wagon train on an ill-fated journey through the Oregon desert along the route later known as the Meek Cutoff in the western United States. "Meek´s Cutoff" is numbingly boring, missing all marks in terms of tension and drama, despite having very nice cinematography displaying a lovely landscape and an ok ensemble cast. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Lon A Really slow, nonsensical, I watched the whole movie waiting for something to happen and nothing. I don't know how anyone could rate this movie highly 🙄 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
