Features: DVD, Widescreen
Condemned to die by the Pharaoh while just a baby, Hebrew Moses is set adrift on the River Nile by his mother and his sister. Rescued by the daughter of the Pharaoh, he grows up thinking he's an Egyptian prince. Eventually exiled from Egypt when he is exposed as a Jew, he is touched by God and told that he will lead his enslaved Chosen People to the Promised Land. Filled with high adventure, miraculous events and a gentle sense of humor, The Ten Commandments showcases Moses, the reluctant prophet, who was the only man in Biblical history to see the face of God and call him -- friend.
"...there's an endearing, earnest quality...that transcends its star-studded cast and computer-generated animation." Louis R. Carlozo, Chicago Tribune
"...an impressive list of voices...[in] a well done flick...Definitely one for the whole family to enjoy." Matt Mungle, The Phantom Tollbooth

Thou shalt not see any B.O. records broken during the theatrical rollout of "The Ten Commandments," a well-intentioned misfire featuring 3-D CGI animation that recalls lesser vidgames of the mid-1990s. Reportedly the first in a proposed "Epic Stories From the Bible" series by Promenade Pictures, the latest project of industry vet Frank Yablans, the pic (set to open Oct. 19 nationwide) may eventually prove useful as a homevid teaching tool for very young children. But even toddlers may notice that Moses, Aaron and other notables here are far less, well, animated than characters in most secular toons...Far too much of what appears onscreen evokes memories of vidgame imagery. It doesn't help that, when Moses is pursued by soldiers in an early scene, the action resembles that of a first-person shooter game. Or that the malcontent Dathan (played by Edward G. Robinson in DeMille's version, but voiced by Lee Tockar here) looks like a bearded brethren of Mario, hero of "Donkey Kong" and "Mario Bros"...It's worth noting that young viewers raised on "Shrek" toons might be befuddled, if not upset, whenever Moses addresses his mule and the mule does not reply. - Joe Leydon
