Customer Reviews

abit poor
this had the makings of a giant but it never made it in my opinion it just seems stupid like how god talks to people like he's a guy in the neighbours backyard and the cast either over act or under act and it never seems to fold together into a good quality movie but its ok to watch on a recovering from sum beers ona sunday

Like space this film is packed full of stars
John Hustons direction of The Bible.... In The Beggining is a very good biblical epic movie that one can expect coming out of the 1960's the decade of epic.
Some truly stunning scenes one that sticks in mind is all the animals going in to the ark probabaly wouldnt see all them species in a movie like that.
Big Names in this film make it intresting such as Stephen Boyd and Peter O'Toole (lawrence of arabia) and George C.Scott (Patton.
The only thing in this movie is its either realy bright or realy dark in color which some times is a bit annoying and this transfer could realy do with a restoration tidy up on this dvd just one extra an original theratical trailer of the movie.

No blockbuster, but pretty accurate!
As the other reviewer intimates, this is a fairly low-key Bible-based drama - unlike say Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments". But this film is probably the best Bible-based film I've seen to date for keeping to the Bible narrative. Sure, at times some artistic license is used, but it's difficult to see on some occasions how else the events recorded in Genesis could have been portrayed on film!

After watching the movie, I was very much left with the impression that the prime motive in making this film was to portray as closely as possible the events from Creation to when Abram sacrifices Isaac to how they are recorded in the book of Genesis - rather than making a great movie epic; and in this regard the film does well. This does mean things can get a little erm, well a bit bland at times, but stick with it and you'll be rewarded with probably an accurate as possible record as a film-based narrative can be, of the events recorded in the first 22 chapters of Genesis!

Definitely one for the children to watch or for Sunday School use.
