I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. From the very beginning, there was excitement and suspense. I went in as a normal viewer with not very much background about the storyline or even the general history of the French-Indian war. I learned a lot about history and had a much greater appreciation for events that occurred in America during the 18th century. There was something for everyone - war scenes, humor, suspense, and even romance. I loved it and highly recommend it to mature viewers (13 and over). The scenery was beautiful, the cinematography was excellent, the soundtrack enhanced the mood and story perfectly, and the actors were believable and inspiring. The only reason I did not give it a perfect 10 was because I thought there was a little too much fighting. My advice is to watch it without knowing the full plot so that you will be intrigued in the suspense of what will happen throughout the movie.

The Leininger family researched their family history quite well. As did I over a period of about a week just to get a sense of accuracy in this incredible story of faith, family, and survival. I can find no fault in the details but, it can be daunting in that over 350 years, much has been lost and, dozens of people shared similar names and history.

SJWs will not praise and have never praised any film of Christian faith. Alone Yet Not Alone is no exception. Yet it is one of a most accurate telling of painfully honest history, including the fact that not all Native Americans were 'noble savages' but rather, like all peoples, they had their less-than-reputable groups. Sadly we are required by social law to never say this, and why this review will almost certainly remain unpublished. But if it is, please see this movie, for it is truly a work of art, and beautiful.

A film all the family can watch, no overly violent or sexual scenes, and good Christian values. Watched it twice actually. Not big budget or anything, just a good story, about hope and never giving up. I recommend it anyway.

I didn't know what to expect but found the film to be quite good, thought provoking, suspenseful and meaningful. Beautifully shot and quite intense many times throughout. Makes you appreciate the struggles involved by the colonists, the colony leaders, the British, the militia, the Native Americans and how all that affected families (one in particular) and individuals (a young girl in particular). Loyalty, friendship, betrayal, perseverance, faith, sacrifice, sadness and joy can all be found in this film as this story unfolds.

Unlike films set in a mythical future, like Divergent for example, this one was shot in a realistic style as if the people were real and living in the real world, our world in the historical past. I soon found myself caught up in their various struggles and ironies and felt like I was with them there in the past. These people could easily have been your or my ancestors and indeed, our ancestors probably experienced lives very much like this whatever our heritage.

You WILL feel when you see this film so I hope you don't mind feelings. Embrace the characters and go through the journey with them no matter what they must go through. You'll not be alone.
