Undescribable Perfection

Crappy film

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I see this movie for the non-believer or someone who is fresh in Christianity because the movie did stay true to the overall truth but it simply left out certain facts which happens when you convert a book to a movie...I am not saying that this is right...but what I am saying is that a person who watches the movie and enjoys it will definitely be intrigued to read the stories for themselves and receive a deeper understanding...I would recommend this movie for the believer or the non-believer overall good movie which acts like a fisherman of men! I agree with some of the comments of the first reviewer but I think he should remember not everyone is on his level...and that the Christian 101 who might just be intrigued by the New Testament will find solace and understanding before they tackle Genesis and Exodus.

Yes, I only gave it a 1 out of 10, but if you're voting on the Fabulously Awful Scale then it's really probably a 10 out of 10...I only caught the last 20 minutes on the Hallmark Channel today, but I could tell from just that short period of time that this one is a keeper for my Hilariously Hideous Films collection...Highlights: 1) the Egyptians costumes, 2) the bad make-up job on Moses, darkening his skin. (He looked like he had a streaky, orange fake tan, a la Charlize Theron at the Oscars)...and my personal favorite, 3) Joshua being randomly British, when all the other actors sounded American. (Perhaps it was explained earlier in the film somehow? Like, was Joshua from a different tribe or something?) Overall?...I'd say it was totally great, if you enjoy bad movies.

I see a lot of biblical type movies and I must say this is one of the better ones. It takes a humanist view of the stories. The fact that an apple is not used in the Adam and Eve scene should not detract from understanding the story itself. If anyone wants to understand the Old testament stories such as Jacob and Esau and know nothing about it then I would strongly suggest that this version is the better of what is currently available as far as commercial movies are concerned.The acting is first rate. I do agree that the effects are cheesy but the story, plots an acting convey the messages within the bible well.I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to know about the popular stories of the Old Testament and have no prior knowledge of them.

This is another of those well-intentioned Biblical TV-movies that comes across as a mixture of a Sunday School lesson and Cliff Notes for the Bible. A decent cast is wasted in superficial summaries, and the FX are simply cheesy. Instead of trying to tell everything from Creation to the Chosen People arriving in the Promised Land in two two-hour segments (with a total story time of less than three hours), it might have been better to focus more on one or two stories at most.
