good animation and a serious treatment of the material
13 June 2015
DreamWorks does The Ten Commandments. It's an adaptation of the Book of Exodus. The Queen finds a baby in a basket floating in the Nile and adopts him naming him Moses. Moses grows up along side Ramses as brothers and best of friends. However Moses' past would lead them on their separate paths. It builds to the climatic parting of the Red Sea and quickly ends with Moses coming down Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments.

It's a good looking animated movie. The CG scenes give the animation an epic scale. It treats the material seriously. It is still animation but it keeps the needed adult themes. As for music, the songs are Broadway-like but none of them are memorable. Overall, this is a deserving rendition of the biblical tale.
