Anything but subtle. Still, it's good entertainment in the DeMille style.

Magnificent parody of moralistic self righteous christian propaganda. Everything is overwrought and heavy handed, God is a vengeful asshole more concerned with punishment than the well being of people, believers are naive and misguided and nonbelievers are textbook villains with no sense of self control. Of course, it's not actually a parody, which takes away some of the fun of laughing at it when you know this is an earnest appeal for submission to god. Great visual effects, though.

A movie for gullible religious idiots who think their God is always going to make everything come out right. Meanwhile, 15 years after this film was produced, Stalin murdered 40 million USSR citizens and never suffered any retribution. He was never even brought to trial, and died in office
