An ordinary man an extraordinary calling.

Condemned to die by Pharaoh while just a baby, Hebrew Moses is set adrift on the River Nile by his mother and his sister. Rescued by the daughter of Pharaoh, he grows up thinking he's an Egyptian prince. Eventually exiled from Egypt when he is exposed as a Jew, he is touched by God, and told that he will lead his enslaved Chosen People to the Promised Land. With the hand of God firmly on his shoulder, and with faith as his only weapon, Moses performs miracles, casts down plagues, evades a pursuing Egyptian army, parts the Red Sea and, after forty years of leading the Hebrew Chosen Ones to the Promised Land, is embraced by God and led to a better place. What makes this version of The Ten Commandments unique is that it highlights Moses' family, both real and extended, on this long journey. Filled with high adventure, the miraculous, and a gentle sense of humour, “The Ten Commandments” showcases Moses, the reluctant prophet, who was the only man in Biblical history to see the face of God and call him “friend.”

Theatrical report

I think that this version of the Moses story is an attempt to capture the kiddie market, which would be rather unimpressed by the Charlton Heston version (crappy effects and way too long). If you're looking for a good movie to take your kids to see then you'll be disappointed because the depth of the characterisation is about as deep as the computer-generated animation. If you're a Christian or maybe a Jew or a Muslim then you can use this film to indoctrinate your kids into the appropriate way of life.

I do have to say that those Jews were an awesome bunch of whiners. I can't believe that anyone could be so unbelieving in the face of the direct intervention of a deity in their life. Burning pillars? Parting seas? Pestilences? Manna from Heaven? How can you not think that there's more to life with that sort of thing going on? Oi.

The animation, supernatural movie Ten commandments is directed by Bill Boyce, John Stronach and stars Christian Slater, Alfred Molina, Elliott Gould.
