  Exodus: Gods and Kings (3D Blu-ray)(Blu-ray)(Digital Copy) is based on the book, in the Holy Bible. This familiar story was artfully told though it ends with a poor interpretation of Moses' act of parting the Red Sea. The effects and realism of the plagues, were kept as written without artist licensing, are purely fascinating Christian Bale delivers a wonderful performance as Moses. Joel Edgerton holds his own as he portrays Ramses. The acting duo have just enough chemistry to convince an audience they are actually rivals that were reared together. The acclaimed director, Ridley Scott proves once more that he can deliver a visually stunning, artfully conceived and brilliantly directed film from this familiar era, as he accomplished with Gladiator. I would like to note once more the realism and the special effects as they are on par with those of Scott's other success and well-known feature, Prometheus. The scenery, as film was shot on location, is breath-taking and the special effects are especially profoundly brilliant. 3D adds a bit extra to this film as many scenes were geared towards this feature. Definitely one for the house-hold though i would keep the children under 13 away from this PG-13 feature film. This film contains Violence Including battle sequences and intense images. The 3 disc combo is filled with 5 hours of extras. So if you are one that loves all the behind the scenes, "how did they do that," inquisitive nature. You will enjoy the extras packed inside. Blu ray allows you to view in 1080p Widescreen. Audio in English, Spanish and French. Subtitles: English SDH (captions background noise and effects),Spanish Runtime is 150 minutes. Add this one to your 3D library and file under stunning!

  Director Ridley Scott, actor Christian Bale, beautiful set design, fantastic costumes, stunning 3D visual effects. Who could ask for more? Maybe a more traditional take on the Biblical story would have helped the film along. In this well made movie with above par acting from both Bale and Edgerton, under Scott's direction, some of the scenes were breathtaking to behold. But I feel that Mr. Scott was holding back a little, whether for political or religious reasons, it's hard to say. I liked the battle scenes, loved the 3D effects, and enjoyed the scenes of Ridley Scott's beautifully depicted ancient Egypt. All in all, a good movie that was entertaining and worth the money spent. As a side note, if you purchase the copy that has "ONLY @ BEST BUY" on the cover claiming to have a "BONUS 30 MINUTES OF RED SEA VISUAL EFFECTS", find out how to obtain this. I still haven't discovered how to get it, even after talking to sales associates and e-mailing Best Buy themselves.
