i watch this series out of curiosity and wanting to see if they could possibly and with all this modern technology and out do cecil b. demille classic epic of 1956 and star charleton heston and yul brenner and sir cedric hardwicke . of course and i be let down . yes and they have all the biblical character correct and but they do not give u any of the spectacular theatrical scene and that hold your interest throughout the first movie . if you go to have a mini series and you have to have some rivoting scene and the burning bush and part the red sea and drown pharohs army and building sethi pyramid and could have be do with today technology on the scale of blockbuster movie such a lord of the ring or the matrix . obviously and they do not want to leave a lasting impression of faith and sacrifice and which be much need in these trouble time .
