The Ten Commandments proves that not even one of humanity's most enduring tales is strong enough to overcome a biblical plague of cheap-looking animation.

Thou shalt not cast Christian Slater as Moses, no matter how much the Hollywood party boy wants to fulfill some form of karmic community service. Oct 19, 2007 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

While the story is solid, the computer-generated animation, which lacks any flow and grace, is another matter. Actually, it's kind of creepy Oct 19, 2007 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Oct 18, 2007 | Rating: F

A well-intentioned misfire featuring 3-D CGI animation that recalls lesser vidgames of the mid-1990s. Oct 18, 2007

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. Jul 24, 2009 | Rating: 1/4

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. Oct 26, 2007 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

As a straightforward introducition to the biblical story, it is arguably better than some of the splashier or more sensational movies out there. Oct 19, 2007 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

The story is obvious so let's look to other concerns about this movie: The voice over is great concerning Moses, but some of the other's are unconvincing. The animation is a little sketchy as sometimes it seems as if people are moving way to fast and sometimes do not move as clean cut as some animation films I have seen. This is 2008 and that is unexcuseable for any film. However, the story was told well and down to the tee-in which that made it slightly enjoyable. I think it could of been more children related, as it is animated, however my little nephew that I sit down to watch it with was hardly engaged. The dialogue at time seemed a bit stale. Dont let this review stop you from watching this one though. It's not by all means a BAD movie, but for an animation film in todays age, it's lacking.
