This story of 3 small families heading to Oregon in 1845 via the Oregon Trail, which, apparently, was not yet a recognisable trail, is so slow in so many spots that it's boring. While I love small movies about people and their plights, this one tells us nothing about its characters, to the point that I didn't care if they EVER found the Columbia River.
The country they're in is so boring--high desert with dried grass and bushes--that a BIG DEAL in the story was finding a tree...yes, a single tree.
The excellent director John Sayles' 1999 movie 'Limbo' had no conventional ending to the story and indeed left us in limbo, but that was a fine movie compared with 'Meek's...'.
Not recommended.

- No. Nothing like Kubrick's visual fireworks. It is paced like many slow movements of sonatas or symphonies, - tinear 16:42:09 05/30/11 (1)
