Summary: A dream finally realized.
Review: For those who give this film only one star, there is obviously something missing from your lives. Today one can't take your child to see a film without those perverted writers and directors having to dirty up the film with trashy sex and all-out cussing up a storm. This film is one of those rarities where a child will be entertained as well as taught a poignant lesson about humanity and faith. For several years now the story of Moses has been the sole heart of my desire to become a Christian, second of course to what Jesus did for us on the cross. When I saw Cecil B. De Mille's grand 1956 blockbuster "The Ten Commandments" I was awestruck by what I saw. Then it just seemed for several years that no producer wanted to tell a Biblical story from the Bible itself. Mind you Robert Duvall did an outstanding job with his inspiring film "The Apostle," and it just seems that in this day and time of life on earth films like this need to be made more and more rather than more trash and garbage. The story is NOT silly. No story from the Bible is silly, and nothing about GOD is silly. Case closed on that subject. This film made me cry and restored what made me a firm believer when I first saw "The Ten Commandments" several years earlier. The animation is among the best ever in all time, looking so realistic at points you easily forget that this film is what so many call a cartoon. The ten plagues are mesmerizingly brilliant and haunting. The awesome parting of the Red Sea can be seen as one of the greatest achievements in the history of animation. The water looks and even looks to feel real that you want to reach for the screen to touch it. The emotional exodus sequence is tearful and moving, seeing how over 400 years of torment and hardship are finally cast away in their redemption to go to the promised land. But the one thing that makes me shed tears over and over is the song "When You Believe." When I heard it in the theater during the exodus scene my eyes spilled over and had to restrain myself from a total breakdown. Every word of the song is so true and so touching I screamed for sheer joy the night it won the Oscar for Best Song. I play it each day over and over, as it keeps me believing when things in life seem dreary and hopeless, so tempting to just give up and crawl away into a pit of cowardice and failure. That song obviously defines what those people were feeling over 3000 years ago when they were told that they could leave to go to the land of milk and honey. It is perfect for anyone and anytime when it seems that life has dealt you a cruel blow that knocks you out of touch with your dreams. It picks you up with the renewed strength to keep going no matter what and that YOU WILL gloriously triumph over whatever has tried to tear you down. But this film is truly one of the greatest of 1998 and deserves a place on all movie shelves in every home in the nation, and even the world, for it is a story for the world to be told of over and over again for all time. I can only hope and pray to see more films of this nature come out of the movie industry rather than some of the dirty smut that so many seem to get a sick pleasure out of watching. Those films wreck, destroy, and demoralize society more and more. Films like this one restores, builds, inspires, and teaches us and our loved ones, and is something we'll want our future generations to see.

Summary: A Must Own!
Review: The content of the film and story, are a 5 star rating. The video quality is also a 5, with the anamorphic 1.85:1 image being among the best I've seen. The Dolby Digital 5.1, also a 5, was very seamless surround, with the full audio pallette being utilized. The LFE track was also very effective. The extras made it all the more enjoyable, and added many insights to the making of this film, and the cast and crew, with a better understanding of the extensive effects A 5 all around!

Summary: NOT A MOVIE FOR CHILDREN
Review: I purched the video for my son, and my roomates son to watch along with the other Disney videos I have givin them. Please be aware that I have never read the Bible, nor do I know this story from any other source. The kids fell asleep before the peviews were over,(then I was disapionted that they didn't see it that night, now thanking my lucky stars) My husband, my roomate, and myself watched the intire movie, even though I wanted to turn the tape off as soon as they had shown the wall mural of childen being feed to alagators. (Sorry I am not the best speller when I am flustered)But when they were at the part of taking all the first childens life of everyone CHILD who did not believe in God, I knew I was taking it back. I enjoyed every other part of the movie, I just dont think that children should be subjected to watching cartoons that not only do NOT stimulae thier minds, but give evil thoughts that a cloud from the sky will come and still thier breath away in the night, because of something mommy and daddy didn't do

Summary: One of the best movies I've seen.
Review: I really enjoyed this movie! Did any else notice Dreamworks' various tributes to DeMille's "Ten Commandments" (for example, the scene where Pharaoh stands over the body of his young son is staged just like in the old movie)? Various previous reviews argue about the "authenticity" of the story, and how close or far it is from the Biblical portrayal. While there are some glaring departures from the details, I feel it sticks to the spirit of the story and, as someone else said, I never thought about the conflict for Moses when the "brother" he grew up with suddenly was his enemy. Speaking of which: to the previous reviewer who insisted that Moses was raised by his Jewish parents: while the Bible does relate that Moses' sister Miriam brought baby Moses back to his real mother so that she could nurse him, it also relates that when he was weaned he was brought back to Pharaoh's daughter, who then raised him as her son. The Bible does not say exactly when Moses realized that he was not Egyptian, although it is even possible to believe that he did not find out until the episode of the burning bush. I just wanted to clarify this, having studied the Bible for many years (including in the original Hebrew). To sum up, I loved everything about this movie, I have already purchased it, and would recommend it to anyone of any religion.

Summary: First class attempt at competing for Disney's crown
Review: A wonderful adaptation of the biblical story of the Ten Commandments, sans Heston. The music, animation and scenes are nothing less than spectacular. The cast of voices is like nothing ever put together. A must for the library. The DVD version has great-added features.
