Moses

About This Movie

So, 'Moses' from 1996, it's got this interesting vibe, right? The tension builds right from the start with those Egyptian soldiers on the hunt for Moses, played by Martin Jarvis. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it keeps you engaged, especially in those moments when Ramses, portrayed by Simon Callow, talks about compassion—it’s a nice touch that adds depth. The performances have a certain weight, making you feel the internal conflicts. Plus, the practical effects used in the production have a raw charm, even if they might not stack up against today’s standards. It’s not your typical retelling; there’s something about its tone that feels different, almost introspective at times.

This film has a bit of a niche following among collectors, with its limited release making it somewhat harder to find on physical media. It’s often overshadowed by larger productions but has gained interest thanks to its unique take on the biblical story. If you come across this one in VHS or DVD, it’s worth picking up for its distinct atmosphere and character-driven approach.
