Review:
As a wise man said, "not every
movie Gladiator." The classic starring Russell Crowe in 2000, directed by
Ridley Scott, has made war period film determined in an old age cool, and also
the benchmark against which all future films are compared.
Exodus, also directed by Ridley Scott, it is very difficult to capture the glory of a film in this way, but ends in the drawing of a muscle in the process.
The film tells the story of Moses, an Egyptian prince born in Hebrew that leads to the Hebrew slaves in revolt against his brother Ramses, the Egyptian pharaoh. It also tells the story of deadly plagues that hit Egypt in this period.
The problem with the Exodus is not lacking in appeal. On the contrary, there are times of the plot and the actual spark that kept busy. The first scene of the fight, the first visit to the slave Moses and his subsequent exile in Egypt, all these scenes in the first hour or filmed, absorbing and fascinating to watch. But it is the back half an hour playing a disappointment.
The sequences following the exile of Moses, his wanderings in the desert, their married life and the establishment of a direct dial telephone with the Messenger of God just punch miss if necessary. Even his decision to return to Egypt was a sudden drastic and far from conclusive. Pests that are still large sequences visually, but not from the perspective of history.
On the other hand, very little importance as a sign Ramses entire film. Uncertainties and manic hunger for power have been well documented by the beginning of the film, but his character loses steam as the movie goes. Its role is almost entirely different reactionary policy decisions of Moses and the plagues. The only real decision is rounded at the end, and again, the motivation behind this is unclear at best.
The climax sequence, which is the division of the Red Sea, should ideally have been the best scene of the film. But leaves much to be desired instead conclude the story. Addressing much to be desired, any character that is not Moses or in time of Ramses not convincing enough to be developed as a human being. Most of them are caricatures, like sheep led by Moses, no questions asked. What does not help is the fact that the film has a very ordinary story of betrayal and rivalry, the one I have seen / heard dozens of times before, the only difference is the biblical setting.
The only area where the film earns brownie points are its authentic look and stunning visuals. Game suits the look of the characters, nothing seems out of the period. Director of photography Dariusz Wolski made the film look absolutely beautiful, and special effects are as good as any superhero could boast. Wounds and the parting of the Red Sea are sequences that are particularly worthy fight with striking effect.
The veteran Ridley Scott seems to have adapted the techniques of contemporary cinema, as evidenced both Exodus and Prometheus. But in the process, the director seems to have lost his magic touch that made him one of the most sought after directors in Hollywood. This is his third medium / medium many films. In Exodus, seems obsessed with the size of the time, focus more on dazzle you with images instead of telling a good story. It starts well, focusing on the two pilots and the power play that followed. But he hesitates halfway, choosing instead to make better use of 3D technology instead of making better use of their characters.
Christian Bale seems to have a series of bad hair days in the film, wearing different lengths mops and beards. But there are variations in the level of their performance as Moses. His intense performance, resulting in the film through many difficult times. It is not good but not great fainting. This is the kind of performance that will win praise, but not much call for nominations. Joel Edgerton Rameses is good, but little used. He manages to effectively convey the disturbed nature of his character, but there is plenty of room for different in a film that actually love Moses.
Pour Joshua Aaron Paul is a decision that is much more interesting than the film itself. Despite a long time before the screen, Paul comes to exactly nine lines of dialogue, most of which are limited to 4-5 to speak word. The undeveloped character I've ever seen Needless to say,. The same goes for Ben Kingsley, flitting in and out of the screen as doves on top of a monument. It is there for a second, then missing in action for a long time.
What the film lacks ambition and narration is compensated with dazzling visual effects and special effects. This is the equivalent of ringing buttons on the front of a small child to distract him. But just like the last strategy, the film also shows its success sporadically, giving ample distraction during 2.5 hours operation.If you are ready to have fun without biblical sense this weekend.
