Evocative adaptation about known story , it recounts the greatest Bible story ever told , a journey through the Holy Land that focuses Moses (Christian Bale) , the Hebrew leader , leading the Jews out of Egypt and realized in Hollywood style . This is the wonderful story about an extraordinary man receiving a holy calling , and follows his life from his stand in pharaoh Seti (John Turturro) court , slavery and trials in leading the Jews ; this is one of the greatest events in epic motion picture history .

An Egyptian prince named Moses who is adopted and brought up in the court by an Egyptian princess and learns of his identity as a Hebrew and later his destiny to become the chosen deliverer of his people . This vivid storytelling although fairly standard follows appropriately the Moses'life , the son of a Jew slave , from birth and abandonment on a basket over river Nile , as when the Pharaoh ordered the killing of all newborn babies , being pick up by Egyptian princesses and he's raised in the royal court , becoming into Prince of Egypt . As Moses embarks a supernatural mission , as the Egyptian Prince , learns of his true heritage as a Hebrew and his divine mission as the deliverer of his people , getting the freedom for Hebrews . When his Hebrew origin is revealed , Moses is cast out of Egypt , and makes his way across the desert . Then , Moses retires out of Egypt where meets Jethro , marring him with his daughter Zipporah (Maria Valverde) . The stoic Moses along with his brother Aaron (Andrew Tarbet) and Joshue (Aaron Paul) confront Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton , though Oscar Isaac and Javier Bardem reportedly turned down the role) . Moses asks Pharaoh to liberate them but he refuses, causing the Egyptian plagues : invasion of locusts , fogs , epidemic , water become in blood and death of the first-born . At night , the angel of death comes , and passes over the protected doors of the Jews . As the death angel kills off the first born children of Egypt, including Pharaoh' son . Moses takes charge of God's people and wrests them from Pharaoh's punishing grip . Moses like liberator of the Jewish leads his people throughout desert battling enemies and with holy intervention .
This is a monumental version of the Biblic book of ¨Exodus¨ with great production design by Arthur Max ; being carried out in utter conviction and breathtaking special effects by means of groundbreaking C.G.I. , including the parting of the Red Sea . The production team formed by Sebastián Álvarez , Denise O'Dell , Teresa Kelly , Soliman , and Michael Schaefer conferred with roughly experts to make the film as spectacular as possible and including ample participation by various screenwriters as Bill Collage , Jeffrey Caine and Steven Zaillian who worked together Scott in Hannibal (2001 and American Gangster (2007) . Obviously changes were made to the story to make it work as a Biblical feature , in fact , there is a short list of differences between the movie and the Biblic account of the Exodus . Serious acting by Christian Bale who plays a sober Moses . Secondary cast is frankly good , such as : John Turturro as Seti , Aaron Paul as Joshua , Tara Fitzgerald as Miriam , Ben Mendelsohn , Ben Kingsley , Sigourney Weaver , Massoud as Grand Vizier, Indira Varma as High Priestess , Ewen Bremner , among others . Glamorous and luxurious costume design by Janty Yates . Colorful cinematography by Dariusz Wolski filmed on location in Spain : Canary Islands , Fuerteventura , Almeria and Morocco . Special mention for sensitive and thrilling musical score by maestro Oscarized Alberto Iglesias . This movie was one of the most expensive epics ever made at the time , 2014 . In fact , it is one of two big budget films based on the Old Testament to come out in this year , the other one being Noé . However , watching in TV it makes lost most really overblown scenarios on the small screen . This Hollywood blockbuster , filmed in 74 days , was professionally directed by Ridley Scott ; being suitable for family viewing and religious people , though it was was banned in Morocco and Egypt . And dedicated to Tony Scott, Ridley Scott's brother who took his own life in 2012
