    Refreshing non religious perspective poetic

    Thank you for a refreshing non religious perspective cliché driven hokey story. Instead i have witnessed a child like faith story. Sure the acting is not perfect and it doesn't have all the fleshly appealing CGI but it speaks on a spiritual level...Blessings... Hallelujah we have been restored to the Eternal Kingdom through Jesus Christ.I pray for a part II.

    Obtuse

    Didn't make it past the first 10 minutes, and that's more than fair.

    Within those 10 minutes there was no goal stated and no obstacle to overcome. Random unnamed characters were occasionally named after confused acting scenes (and I truly doubt we will see named persons again, they were possibly there for some sense of story establishment). ALL the scenes were confusing.

    Female narrator leads the story of Genesis. She is unnamed, don't know who she is, and can't be identified by her character actions/ words/ or those interacting with her, yet she seems to be central to the story--no idea who she is, or even if she is a protagonist, an antagonist, a main character, or if she will stay with us.

    A must-see

    "The Book of Genesis" does a great job depicting the beginning of mankind. It's informative and engaging and is a must-see.

    Story line follows that of Genesis

    Though the story line keeps true the costumes of the characters lacks. For example the way they dressed appears more like an American Frontier scene, buttons and boots. They did a decent job of bringing the meaning those messages and stories of the beginning to life but visually it was leaving a lot more to be desired.

    To bring into a more modern tale that will capture audiences of this age I believe the director and producer should have worked the story line to match up with modernizing the Book of Genesis. This would help the visual representation and lend to the messages found in the Bible.

    Bland and unremarkable

    No character development. No original text. Some attempt at a poetic narrative rewrite. We didn't make it even 10 minutes.

    I think the woman at the beginning was Hagar, but why? You're telling the genesis story from a victim's perspective. Gross.

    The plot dragged and did not have any context or explanation. It was entirely disjointed and you have to infer where and who people are. Someone unfamiliar with the Bible would be lost entirely. We turned it off and got The Bible series from Amazon instead.

    I don't doubt that there was effort and expense in making this movie, but the oversight of a good script was just too much to tolerate.
