Movie Reviews of In The Beginning

Movie Review: Beautiful, awesome and inpirational!
Summary: 5 Stars

I just loved this movie! I thought it was very beautifuly done from beginning to end. The actors were wonderful and the stories are very acurate and followed scripture very well. I recommend this movie, especially if you find it difficult to read the stories yourself. You get a much better understanding of the chronological order of the old testament. (from creation to Moses, that is!) Susan from Texas.

Summary of In The Beginning

Biblical tales from the books of genesis and exodus including the stories of abrahams devotion and josephs betrayal. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/13/2005 Starring: Martin Landau Bill Campbell Run time: 180 minutes
From the people who created the made-for-TV special-effects extravaganzas Merlin and Arabian Nights comes In the Beginning, the story about the travels and travails of the tribe of Abraham (Martin Landau). Set around the year 2000 B.C., the narrative opens with "Genesis 12," wherein the Lord has kicked Abraham and company out of their country to a land of milk and honey to be named later. In order to keep up the morale of his followers while on the road, Abraham gives a sermon that sums up God's creation of the universe. By illustrating this sermon with stock footage and special-effects shots, the producers are obviously making a connection between sermons of old and popular entertainments of today. From there, the twists and turns of the Old Testament are treated like a soap opera. Family dramas take center stage, whether it's God testing Abraham by telling him to kill his son in sacrifice, Joseph (famous for his amazing Technicolor dream coat) gaining power in Egypt after being sold to slave traders by his brothers, or one of the many other stories of brothers fighting (Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, etc.). The events that have been visualized in movies before (the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, to name but two) pale in comparison to their earlier incarnations, but the bigger picture is that In the Beginning works best as the Bible for beginners. --Andy Spletzer
