This movie was intended for kids. it did its job to instruct and entertain them in God's word. what more does a parent need?

I really really enjoyed this movie. I watched it with a bunch of my friends one night and it was just so much fun. We all love the story of Moses and to see a new representation of it that was so Biblically accurate was really entertaining. It was great because it didn't just stop at the giving of the tablets, but it followed the Israelites all the way into the Promise Land. True, it does take a little while to get used to the animation, but as you continue to watch the movie, you eventually forget about it. The portrayal of the burning bush, the plagues, especially the plague of death, and the giving of the tablets, are just great. And Aaron is so much better in this movie than in the Prince of Egypt! He really fulfills his Biblical role. These movies are a breath of fresh air in an industry that keeps promoting filth, and I eagerly anticipate the next 11 movies that are coming out in this series.

WOW!! how did they get people to voice-over this movie? I had to sit through the "Music video" that they played at a Jeremy Camp concert to advertise for this movie. It looked like they were playing a crappy video game on the screen. I have seen other reviews for this movie, that say how great the animation is... I have seen better graphics on the original Xbox. Just because you are a Christian doesn't mean you have to stand for every pice of crap that is labeled Christian. This movie makes me ashamed to bea Christian!! Go out and buy yourself a copy of the Prince of Egypt, and stay away from the box office on this one!!! Run Don't Walk!!

I suppose Biblical stories will never run out of fashion, though I find it a bit strange that amongst the numerous potential stories for retelling, the story of Moses got chosen again, and for an animated movie no less, although this one's done in 3D. Remember Prince of Egypt? Dreamworks Animation pretty much nailed it, especially when you have a relatively successful hit song as a byproduct (played ad nauseam until it became an irritant). Comparisons are inevitable given the content and the form, and unfortunately, this movie with input from IVL Animation (Singapore) didn't surpass the benchmark set by Prince of Egypt, but it's a slight improvement to the local 3D animated movies that have been released to date (that of Zodiac: The Race Begins and Tales of the Sea).The Ten Commandments that this version offered is a super summary of events that are in the Bible, starting from an infant Moses in a basket surviving a water borne trip, and bypassing his growing up years creatively through the opening credits. If using Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 movie starring Charlton Heston as the baseline, then it managed to shear off more than 50% of that content, and added just a little bit more toward the last act, which seemed to drag it just a tad longer, including events that you may or may not already be familiar with, but definitely not in the DeMille film, nor in Prince of Egypt.As an animated movie, and a 3D one at that, it still has not reached the level of quality that one is accustomed to from, say Pixar, which in my opinion deem worthy to be used to measure up against. The animation here is still blocky at certain bits, especially in character design and rendering. But credit has to be given for how key scenes were depicted, and I thought the Burning Bush was particularly well done. Other than that, the Parting of the Red Sea was another key moment, but unfortunately didn't offer any spectacular Wow moment that the earlier Ten Commandment movies provided. It pales compared to the 2D style in Prince of Egypt, though it included a nod towards it of sorts by having those whales(?) swimming around and seen through the water curtain.The movie managed to snag a more international cast for its voicing of characters, and I thought having Christian Slater (Moses), Alfred Molina (Ramses) and Elliot Gould as the Voice of God, was a marked leap forward in helping the movie gain more attention, compared to the use of local actors (no disrespect of course) who may not have as much international clout to make the film appealing to audiences outside our borders.This movie will most likely appeal to Sunday School groups, given that it's relatively free of scary images, but yet managing to tell the story of various plagues descending onto Egypt.
