Dreamworks' first attempt at animation is a lavish spectacle. Yet, for an animated retelling of the Bible, the makers desperately needed a new approach. Instead, it stints on emotion for sheer eye candy. It doesn't help that they throw in famous voices (i.e.Sandra Bullock) that distract rather than involve. Dreamworks seems to be trying to out-Disney Disney (clearly a futile venture). But despite the overinflated approach, it's still a worthy effort. Some scenes (especially the Exodus) will take your breath away.
