Exodus was a decent movie. Unfortunate about the changes they made to the storyline. I won't spoil anything, but why do atheist directors keep making Bible movies? Seems like they are missing the point and target audience.

The interaction between Ramses and Moses after Moses returned to Egypt. That's the biggest flub up.

The handling of the red sea at the end was  :facepalm: for me. With the budget they had? That could have been much better. And it made no sense to have it end the particular way it did.

It wasn't necessarily detrimental to the movie, but where his family is when he returns to Egypt was a complete change from the story and thus made for a bunch of drama that was unnecessary. 

Other nitpicky things that didn't necessarily make the movie bad, but affected the story a great deal: who actually exiled Moses and why (if they handled this right they could have handled the Ramses-Moses thing mentioned above the right way)

And as always as a Christian it is obnoxious to see them take these movies and leave the whether God exists or not as ambiguous. Believe the story or not, but staying true to the story makes it a much stronger narrative in my opinion.

 :lol: The movie is about plagues brought by God. The Red Sea parts.

Watched Interstellar.  I'll say this about it - the writers were certainly ambitious.

redbox'd and watched last night. pretty good... funny, but probably just an average marvel movie. kind of neat that disney/marvel can take a largely unknown cast of characters and make a popular movie.
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

Yeah, super neat.  I like how they cast people you don't know either.  Like who the eff were most of those actors?  And yet they totally nailed it.  Good for them is what I say.  Happy to have had the opportunity to watch it.

Seemed to me like one of those stories that knew its beginning and end but wasn't 100% sure how to connect them.

Crazy thing is that they brought on a scientist who was an expert on black holes to consult on the film. Using his formulas in their CGI they actually made enough discoveries for him to write two scientific papers. - That in itself is pretty damn impressive.

Black hole expert? Pfffff/  I bet that guy (I'm just going to assume it was a guy) has never even seen one.
