The defiant leader Moses rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.This year sees the return of Biblical epics being adapted again to the big screen. Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah' was very bloated, so the hopes of 'Exodus' being good was lowered. In fact, you should be, because this movie undergoes the same route as the former.

Let's start off with the obvious one, the parting of the red sea in the movie was a big middle finger to the Bible. The sequence goes like this: Everyone was running from their lives because the sea is returning to its true form, and Moses on the other hand sets out a hilarious confrontation with Ramses in the middle of the sea; just standing there, waiting for the waves to wash them. The scene ends up with the two surprisingly, impossibly surviving amidst the strong waves that attacked them. It is a cheesy moment that meant nothing.

The ten plagues sequence was decent, with a massive amount of CGI being thrown to the audience. But then again, they decided to be goofy on it.
The geek rates it 4/10!
'Exodus: Gods And Kings' is now showing in 3D, IMAX 3D and 2D theaters nationwide locally distributed by 20th Century Fox!
