The Ten Commandments Trailers

This vibrantly animated feature recounts the biblical epic of the Hebrew prophet Moses and the Ten Commandments. Led by the word of God, Moses challenges the ominous Egyptian pharaoh, performs miracles and guides the chosen people on a 40-year journey through the desert to free them from captivity and lead them to the Promised Land.

This film is terrible. Why do religious films (not just Christian ones, also Jewish and Islamic ones) always have to be low-grade? As a Christian i am insulted that producers think they can trick me into buying a bad movie just because it says "moses" on the back. the plot line is stupid and barely conveys the actual telling of moses's life. the animation looks like a computer game- mind you, not the good games that look like pixar movies, but the bad ones that have as much animation as newsprint. The acting is truly wooden and occasionally garbled- "thank-you-god-for-this-oppurtunity" The score is decent at first but endlessly repetitive, the same songs play through the entire film. I'm all for films concerning issues, including religion, but this... stuff ...can't be tolerated. This film was a Christian "battlefield earth" in its incompetence.

I saw this movie during a church function. The graphics were very basic, but that fact that it accurately depicts the story of moses and the ten commandments is why this movie receives my thumbs up. This is a movie that i think was well received by children. The fact that the movie is animated is why the kids were drawn into the story. This movie is for a family setting of parents and their children. I noticed that older viewers did not really watch the movie closely. I would recommend this movie to anybody who wants to teach their children about the bible and its wonderful stories. Overall this work is decent and should be used as an education resource to explore one great story of the old testament.

I can't give this a 1 because the story line was fabulous and Biblical. However, the first 30 SECONDS of the movie, I knew my artist husband would hem and haw through the whole thing. The animation was horrible!!! This is 2007 and it looked like it should have been played in 1987...I should have known when my group of 5 were sitting in the theater and NO ONE else showed up, that this was not going to be a great movie. Prince of Egypt was a fantastic movie...I just am not sure why this one was not....Come on Hollywood, we want Christian movies, but we want them to be worth spending 8.50 on...Needless to say, this will not be one for the collection.

How can you ruin such a great story? Answer: A. Insipid direction.B. World's worst imagery and animation.The story flounders as it focuses on the relationship of Moses to the Pharoah ("Ramses".) Were they at one point buddies? Did something sour Ramses and turn him into a grumpalumpagus? Who knows or cares? But hold on, the worst is yet to come: the nutso physiques of the characters. The leading men (Moses, Ramses, Aaron) seem to all sport chest implants that would shame the late Anna Nicole Smith. OK, so Moses and Ramses were raised in wealth, how did Aaron manage to acquire such gargantuan pecs while some of his compadres appear as emaciated as a displaced person.Legs and torsos seem to have only the most casual acquaintance with one another. Eyes are over-sized in the manner of the Keane kids of the 60s.Larding out the cast (pardon the pun)are anonymous Hebrew supernumeraries who are impossibly wide and fat. While that might be very progressive in giving work to morbidly obese cartoon characters, it's very jarring to the viewer. Kids (baby Moses, young Miriam, the Pharoah's first-born) manage to be repugnant rather than endearing.Oh, and the color palette. WAY over the top.The only positives: Eliot Gould and Ben Kingsley.I saw this shortly after it opened in town. It was playing only in an obscure theater located in a low-end mall. I'd say there were under 40 other customers.What a dud.
