Exodus: Gods and Kings starring Christian Bale is the retelling of the exodus story without the majesty or exuberance of the Cecil B. DeMille epic. It's an unconventional retelling and I liked it.

A side bar: to where has Ben Kingsley disappeared? He's in this film, but in a quite minor role and his screen time is brief. I think I've noticed that the quantity and quality of his roles has declined over the past decade. I wonder is that is his choice.
