My family and I watched the new DVD release of "The Ten Commandments" from Promenade Pictures. This movie was a pretty poor attempt to re-do the Biblical story of Moses and the deliverance of the people of God from Egypt. It wasn't poor in content, although the story line really tried to follow Cecil B. Demille's classic "The Ten Commandments" more than it did Scripture.
The movie was all CGI animation, but not very good CGI animation at that. Veggie Tales does a far better job. The movie felt forced in spots and we were close to turning it off at one point because it was just losing all of us. But we stuck it out and found it had a couple of redeeming spots.
The movie came nowhere near the 1998 Dreamwork's classic "The Prince of Egypt."
But it would be a good family movie night rental nonetheless. Just know that CGI animation isn't the greatest.
