Genesis

I've seen a lot of biblical movies. Some great, some, good, some bad and some worse. This is by far the worse I've ever seen. If I could, I wouldn't give a star at all.

Don't know if it's best to cry or to rofl over it. Either way seems fit.

Calling it a poetic look of man's beginning relationship with God is very, very generous.

At its best one could call it a muddled and confusing philosophic approach to Jochebed's try to recount Moses' background, that has totally nothing to do with the description the bible gives us.

The movie seems to be written and produced by people who don't know anything about the bible, which contradicts the bio of the director/writer.

The impressions given of the history written in Genesis, are distorted and even somtimes misleading. The only right thing is the existing of Eden, Adam and Eve, Caïn and Able, Abraham, Isaäk, Jakob, Jozef, the people around them and some cold facts. But that little wouldn't make a movie.

Besides the enormous flaws in storytelling, the props and cloths missed the setting of Genesis by several millenia. Even the choosen locations were in almost all cases/scenes wrong.

This movie should come with a double warning: One for those who believe and one for those who don't.

Though the story line keeps true the costumes of the characters lacks. For example the way they dressed appears more like an American Frontier scene, buttons and boots. They did a decent job of bringing the meaning those messages and stories of the beginning to life but visually it was leaving a lot more to be desired.

To bring into a more modern tale that will capture audiences of this age I believe the director and producer should have worked the story line to match up with modernizing the Book of Genesis. This would help the visual representation and lend to the messages found in the Bible.

Nearing the end now, it comes to me, that the producers have given us a rather different, yet meaningful look at one of the most poignant books of the Bible and it actually serves as an opportunity to recollect each of the jewels and the setting of each piece of the book that is Genesis! Having spent 9 months in a study of this most significant biblical account, it was an opportunity to recall each of the many parts of the book and have drawn the conclusion that I may need a second glance at it!

Well done Austin Bible church! A crown awaits you in Glory! I'll rank this production right up with Mel's Passion of the Christ!

No character development. No original text. Some attempt at a poetic narrative rewrite. We didn't make it even 10 minutes.

I think the woman at the beginning was Hagar, but why? You're telling the genesis story from a victim's perspective. Gross.

The plot dragged and did not have any context or explanation. It was entirely disjointed and you have to infer where and who people are. Someone unfamiliar with the Bible would be lost entirely. We turned it off and got The Bible series from Amazon instead.

I don't doubt that there was effort and expense in making this movie, but the oversight of a good script was just too much to tolerate.

"The Book of Genesis" does a great job depicting the beginning of mankind. It's informative and engaging and is a must-see.
