Gods of Egypt

Warning: Spoilers
The first part, named Dawn, which explores the Egyptian creation myth is without doubt, the best part of the movie, depicting said myth in a pretty stylish, ethereal way that only could be done through animation.

The following two parts are far more slow-paced, but still keep the same otherworldy, mystical vibe from the first part, giving us a view into the role of Pharaoh in the world view of Ancient Egypt, as well as a trip into the Ancient Egyptian afterlife beliefs.

A shame this movie (The only feature lenght film made by Lesley Keen) remains to be so obscure, being perhaps one of the best mythological-themed movies I have seen in my life.

A shame also how "Invocation" (A short by Lesley Keen done with a similar style, but focused in the Ancient Greek creation myth) is not even registered here on Imdb.

8.5/10.

Possibly my new favourite movie!

As a person who loves Egyptian mythology, this is perfect! It has a synth soundtrack with calming narration, beautiful neon art, and overall interesting plot!

PLOT: 1st part: this is the creation myth of Atum plus the myth of Osiris. If you want more detail, just buy it. It's worth it.

2nd part: this follows a young pharaoh learning about the gods (they just replay half of the 1st part without narration, but it's not too bad, plus you see the pharaoh and a priest walking in the foreground. Then, in the end of this part, the pharaoh dies.

3rd part: This follows after the pharaoh's death, with him being mummified and travelling to the underworld.

Overall review: WATCH THIS AS SOON AS YOU CAN IF YOU LOVE EGYPT!
