Exodus: Gods and Kings

When Moses (Christian Bale), who has a wife (Golshifteh Farahani) and son, returns to Egypt and his mother (Anna Savva) and sister (Maria Valverde) and after his brother Rhamses (Joel Edgerton) exiled him in 1300 BCE in Ridley Scott's entertaining, violent, visually stunning, unevenly paced, 3D, star-studded (Ben Kingsley, John Turturro, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Mendelsohn, Aaron Paul, Indira Varma, Tara Fitxgerald, and Hiam Abbass), 150-minute retelling of the Biblical story highlighted by terrific special effects, he works with God to convince the stubborn, power-hungry pharaoh to let the more than 600,000 Hebrew people (Andrew Tarbet, Joseph Garcia Quinn, et al.) he has enslaved leave plagued-ravaged Egypt to make their 40-year journey in the desert to Canaan.
