Anyone with a thorough knowledge of scripture will find it awful. Tons of details wrong on things clearly detailed in scripture, and incredible license inserting things NOT written, over dramatizing them, and having characters say things totally contradicting what is known about them character-wise.
It’s 50% accurate at best, with 25% being contradictory to what is said/revealed in scripture.
And, tons of important stuff left out. But I can overlook that as they are cramming so much in such a short viewing time.
The characterization of Abraham was way out of sync with scripture re: his attitudes and thinking. And when Isaac was born, he was 100 and Sarah was 90 - but the characters portraying them looked to be in their 60’s.
Cecil B. DeMille’s version was far more accurate....
This is a typical rendition of scripture by people who are not students of it - nor true believers.....
IMHO, of course......
If you believe that Abraham lived to be 175 years old, wouldn’t 100 years old be middle-aged and not elderly?
DeMille spent 3 hours just on Exodus, not the entire first 5 books; and he had a larger budget (adjusted for inflation). And he didn’t use CGI (of course it didn’t exist then, but that’s a minor point.
Also they depicted Abraham’s son Isaac as fighting his father when he was to be burned as a sacrifice when the Old Testament clearly states that Isaac inherently knew why he and his father were going up the mountain and went willingly with Abraham.
