This new version of the story of Moses is a huge step backward for theatrical CG animation, or any animation for that matter.

Reviews for The Ten Commandments
Unprofessional...this new Commandments is the work of the devil himself.
10/18/07
The characters' skin looks like hard plastic, so it's as if a bunch of GI Joes are trying to escape the plague of locusts, and all of the human characters appear to be lit from within, like nightlights.
10/19/07
Where the filmmakers may have aimed to create something comparable to Shrek, instead the quality falls somewhere between that and the movers in the 1985 Dire Straits' Money for Nothing video.
10/18/07
It's like watching Max Headroom lead his people out of Egypt.

...Exodus: The Video Game...
10/19/07
A well-intentioned misfire featuring 3-D CGI animation that recalls lesser vidgames of the mid-1990s.

Top CriticThou shalt not cast Christian Slater as Moses, no matter how much the Hollywood party boy wants to fulfill some form of karmic community service.
10/19/07
I've found more nuance in the two-page Bible stories we read with our kids after breakfast.
10/18/07
A beyond-unimpressive computer-animated retelling of the story of Moses, The Ten Commandments seems to have been made using public-domain software, and targeted squarely at kids impressed by any brightly colored moving objects.
10/18/07
Here's an unusual but OK take on the story of Moses, the Exodus and, of course, "The Ten Commandments."
11/01/07
There's an endearing, earnest quality to The Ten Commandments that transcends its star-studded cast and computer-generated animation.
10/18/07
While the story is solid, the computer-generated animation, which lacks any flow and grace, is another matter. Actually, it's kind of creepy
10/19/07
Though it boasts a noteworthy cast, the film suffers from clunky computer animation that appears to be hinged on technology at least several years behind the curve.
07/24/09
As a straightforward introducition to the biblical story, it is arguably better than some of the splashier or more sensational movies out there.
10/19/07
A big-name voice cast doesn't cover for a script that may hit the Biblical high points but somehow misses the dramatic heart of the story.
10/18/07
This is the inaugural film in a franchise of 12 feature films based on Bible stories, using a crude form of three-dimensional computer animation. One can only hope that the future entries in the series are better executed than this first one.
10/26/07
Shamelessly rips off interpretive conceits and even specific dramatic beats from The Prince of Egypt.
10/19/07
Likable enough without being extraordinary.
10/18/07
Ponderous but somewhat moving.
