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 (Paul Rhys, From Hell) 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 (Dougray Scott, Mission: Impossible II) 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 (TV's Alias) and Golden Globe® winner Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia), The Ten Commandments is unsurpassed in its vision--both intimate and grand.

Not bad but could have been better.
This was an "OK" rendition of the Exodus. The cast is very good. The props and visual effects are top notch. The only problem I have with the film is that is strays from the Bible account of the story. Lots of things are left out or changed entirely. This is why I give it three stars. If you have never read the story of the Exodus in the Bible, I think you will enjoy it. However, I encourage you to read the Bible version of the story because its action packed and very exciting. Also, this way you get the true story with nothing left out or changed.

WARNING - Not the C.B. DeMille Epic Version
Was not paying close attention and though I was getting the great C. B. Demille version. Very disappointing. A waste of blu-ray technology.

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.

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.

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.
