The Ten Commandments (2006)

The Ten Commandments unfolds with all of the spectacle, violent human drama, and grand inspiration that have earned it its distinction as the greatest story ever told. When an oracle prophesizes that a child will become Prince of Egypt, a time of danger approaches the kingdom. The Egyptian Pharaoh orders the massacre of all newborn males. But one child, Moses--the son of a Hebrew slave--escapes certain death when he is set adrift on the Nile. As years pass, he is raised in a royal Egyptian household and, with no memory of his family, rises to the stature of prince. Upon discovery of his true heritage, and inspired by a fiery message from God, Moses embarks upon a noble and desperate fight to reclaim his destiny as the leader and liberator of the Hebrew people. With a stellar cast that includes Mia Maestro and Golden Globe® winner Omar Sharif, The Ten Commandments is unsurpassed in its vision--both intimate and grand. DVD Features include: The Making of "The Ten Commandments", Closed Captioning. Product Description

A follow-up of true epic on Moses

The movie showed more information in what may have occured in the life of Moses and his family. It was truly something to think about, especially about his Egyptian mother and brother. How the Ten Commandments came about and why it was formed. Why the people deterred from the Word of God each time Moses showed them HIS miracles. July 3, 2008

Nice dusty, crunchy biblical romp

Can't hold a candle to Heston's 1956 defining 10 Commandments. But who cares! This new 07 version has heart. Well acted, historically correct on many levels, great desert scenery makes for nice dusty, crunchy biblical romp. Pharaoh's charging chariots on the dusty horizon is right on. Pure psychological Late Bronze Age warfare the Egyptians excelled in. Good mixture of humor, FX, and biblical drama. A good Easter season DVD. May 6, 2008

Gives you chills!

I gave this video out for Christmas gifts this year after watching it on television a month ago. This is an amazing movie for the young and old. I have people calling and asking how and where to get this movie. My entire family enjoys this movie and we will watch it again and again. This movie will give you chills and so much more.

more than you expected!

when a movie touches your heart, you want to tell everybody! I like the Charlton Heston version but this one focuses more on the story than the "hollywoodness"! this is a movie you can enjoy with your family and friends and have plenty to discuss for weeks afterwards. Spread the word! December 28, 2007

This Is A MESSY MOSES!

My husband and I borrowed this from the library. I am so happy that we didn't actually spend money on it otherwise we would have to ask for a refund. This is the most far-fetched bible story that I've ever seen. Could it get any worse? Honestly, I can't believe that they wasted those kind of special effects on a piece of trash like this! It's offensive, and I have no idea what book of the Bible it's about because it definitely isn't accurate to the book of Exodus that I know. I'm a Christian and I don't see how any other Christian can like this movie. It's not the story of Moses, It's about a pale Pharaoh and the angry guy with the stick. It should be shown as a documentary on how NOT to do a christian film. How could this story get any worse? Next time can you please try to get REAL believers in the movie so people can actually be affected in a way that doesn't make them sick to their stomach. Unless you want to confuse every young saint in Christ or waste an evening yelling at the T.V. please save both your time and money!!!!! August 18, 2007
