C
hristian Bale leaves the memory of Batman far
behind in this epic Biblical tale from director
Ridley Scott. The man who directed
Gladiator
spares no expense or detail in this retelling of the
story of Moses and his battle to save over half a
million slaves from Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses.
Forget your average dusty swords and sandals story,
this is a film of appropriately epic proportions, which
takes a traditional story and gives it a contemporary
edge. Scott’s retelling is one that follows the tradition
of Biblical stories and uses vast sets to show the scale
and spectacle of this Egyptian epic.
Alongside Bale, the cast includes
Breaking Bad’s
Aaron Paul, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley and Joel
Edgerton on villain duties as Ramses. This may be an
ancient story but this is definitely a film that is right
up to date.
