I saw it on Saturday. Some observations.
1. It pretty much preserved the themes of judgement, mercy, and redemption, but got there by a pretty twisted path.
2. Visually the giant rock monsters look like they were a combination of the transformers and the Ents from Lord of the Rings.
3. They poked in a lot of stuff that is not in the Biblical account for the sake of creating dramatic conflict. It’s a movie so I understand what they did and in terms of telling an interesting story it works.
4. This is not Moses’ story. If that bothers you, I wouldn’t go see it. (If you are relying on Hollywood movies for spiritual edification you should probably reassess your strategy.)
Excellent distillation - thanks!
