Exodus, Gods and Kings is a great visual epic film

 The biblical film based in Egypt has been the subject of racism since it boasts a predominately white cast in the main roles. Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver are cast in the centric roles while blacks portray servants, killers, and criminals. Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton), setting 600,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues. There are many perpetual violence in movies but this one is very justified for the Bible stories and relationship with God can have on an individual. Unfortunately, religion has been used to subjugate, oppress and demean way too many people for way too long. There will be viewers against this Hollywood production due religion is a sensitive subject and battle with their own disbeliefs. In my opinion, this is entertainment full of visual effects, moderate performances and great scenarios.
