In the Beginning (2000)
Member Rating:  
A kind of "best-of" account of the books of Genesis and Exodus, this two-part NBC miniseries aired in November 2000. Part One, set in the desert, covers the stories of Abraham (Martin Landau), Sarah (Jacqueline Bisset), Isaac (Sean Pertwee), Rebeccah (Diana Rigg), Esau (Andrew Grainger), and Jacob (Frederick Weller) and culminates with the enslavement of Joseph (Eddie Cibrian). Part Two, set in biblical Egypt, focuses on the story of Moses (Billy Campbell) and his deliverance of his people from slavery. Also included in the miniseries' huge and illustrious cast are Alan Bates as Jethro, Geraldine Chaplin as Yocheved, and Jonathan Firth as Joshua. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

    We really enjoyed this film -- some of the scenes were actaully captivating, and the whole family could watch this show, there was nothing in it that would be "questionable." In fact, though the story line did follow the Bible pretty closely (with a handful of exceptions where the script clearly strayed) most of the truly seamy substories were missing (Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his daughters, the rivalry between Leah and Rachel, the Shechem slaughter and so on)

    jean b. evidently doesn't know a good telling of the books of genesis. I found this movie very entertaining and enjoyable for the whole family.
