The Worst Film Ever

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I am Christian to begin with, and I'm proud to say that my faith is strong in The Lord. But I'm not a scientist, though I am curious and often times seek the truth. It's very much faith empowering how this film elaborates on the story of Exodus, at the same time comparing it with coherent scientific evidence. Yet this movie also still nicely leaves room for faith. As faith is the basis of things we can't see, one needs faith to understand the reasoning this movie presented, while the evidence itself still gets debated by scientists. I for one at prior to this movie wasn't aware of the gap of date settings between scientists, or even the whole counter-idea of the Exodus itself, as being a myth. At a skeptic's perspective this may prove that ignorance is bliss. But I see it as the fact that faith in God can't be distinguished by mere scientists' wisdom, which base their findings on mere rags and tatters.

I feel Netflix has let me down again. Why do they insist on giving us garbage like this. "Pattern's of Evidence"? There, the title should have given me pause. It should have been called "Quasi-Evidence" for the lack of real science. Listen, I would love to believe in Bigfoot or the Lock Ness Monster, but documentaries like these are simply a waste of time. Especially when the narrator says, "The Bible records....blah blah" or "Their antagonistic claims..." when describing books from Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. The Bible is not a book of record no more than Forrest Gump is a documentary. It's a book of faith, for those who cannot comprehend science. Books like "God is Not Great" simply use REASON to counter faith. Basically "Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus" is this: "Look, we have found some chicken bones next to a KFC. Perhaps the pharaohs were plagued by chickens sent from God!", then they show lame, dated, computer graphics and present them as conclusive evidence.What I do love about this film is it's pacing. It is so slow, that you know the target audience is the elderly and those who have no mind for education. I just picture a group of slow-witted, morons in a theater with their mouths open, drooling, and making sounds like cow getting a massage. I highly recommend this movie if you are having trouble sleeping.

I took a look at this, but sad to say, this is anything but scientific.The scientific method - formulate a hypothesis and attempt to disprove it. Falsifiabilty is a cornerstone of the scientific method, and always beware of anybody who claims to have 'proved' something.The non-scientific method (used here) formulate a hypothesis and attempt to prove it.If you tried hard enough you could 'prove' that werewolves are real, or that Barak Obama is a Muslim. The Biblical account MAY be true, but this contributes nothing to the story of Exodus.

The real hero of this movie is David Rohl, a British archaeologist and Egyptologist. He uses the Bible, not as anything inspirational or even divinely inspired, but simply as one of the best ancient documents to aid his archaeology. He has spent half a lifetime wrestling with the FACT that the Third Intermediate Period in Egyptian history is extremely confusing and poorly understood by modern archaeology, and the FACT that nothing in Egypt's New Kingdom (the Kingdom of the Rameses Pharaohs) matches the Bible story of the Exodus. He has developed a "New Chronology" for the history of Egypt and the Bible story in which things do line up, stunningly so, way back in the Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period (Dynasty XIII). Tim Mahoney in his movie simply looks at the evidence and lets the audience draw their own conclusions.The only criticism I have of the movie is that so much is left out. It cries out for a sequel, showing the evidence found for the Red Sea crossing, the Hyksos, the Amarna period during the Kingdoms of Saul and David, King Solomon and his Egyptian princess... and showing the breathtaking correlations with the ancient Hittites, Babylonians, Syrians, Assyrians... even the later Persians, Greeks, and Romans. It all lines up once you get the chronology right! This ought to stun the world and get everyone started on re-writing the history books!
