vijaythepro Do humans deserve to live? Are we all bad? Should men follow the heavens or their will? Can the answers to these questions arrive without going through madness? The human condition is not an easy thing to be judged, after all Saints and sinners have walked on this planet wearing the form of men. I haven't read the big book but I know the story of Noah's ark. This film is a great adaptation of the ark story and puts the mythology up there along with the likes of the lord of the rings films or any other great fantasy films.Darren's Noah is not embraced now. But it will be in the future.

Donald Bolton (pzn-30543) Everyone knows Hollywood is run by non-Christians. So let me tell you the truth (and we discussed this at church) Noah was a prophet of God and would never ever endorse or allow the left wingers to conduct an abortion in his presence. God and his prophet would raze the ship (ark) and its passengers first before allowing abortion to go ahead. Life is given to us by creator. MAGA

cpavlin Other than the building of an ark followed by a flood the story with sci-fi styled support particularly with the stone men 'watchers', I'd say the movie was a bust. This wreaks of a left coast production. Russel Crowe is not a very good actor either. I swear he's type cast in his role from "Gladiator". He's always somber, sullen and inanimate as if he's due to go out into the arena. The mike pickup is bad too because it's hard to understand what he's saying at times because he has a tendency to swallow his words. Too many back shots of him too. What's up with that. I can see why this wasn't well received in the Muslim world due to its deviation from scripture both their Qu'ran and so too the Christian Bible. The director would have done better if he'd created Noah along Cecil B. Demille's "Ten Commandments", then it would have had more gravitas at the box office and better received. I'm glad I watched this on FX rather than having paid to view such in a theater.

blrnani That's okay, in principle, as the Old Testament itself is full of holes, especially in the earlier times (starting with how do Adam and Eve and 3 sons begat the succeeding generations?), but not if it leaves equally baffling questions, such as who mothered the line of Ham? Visually, the film is good and some of the acting - notably Jennifer Connolly and Emma Watson, plus a nod to the equally reliable Anthony Hopkins - is excellent. But the whole thing hangs on Noah, who in this case comes across as the sort of fanatical Bible beater we are familiar with (and should be repulsed by) in far too many churches (and not just pseudo-Christian ones) across the world. Given the nature of the Biblical story, this may have been an impossible task for Russell Crowe (who has shown sensitivity in other roles). And given the impossibility of reconciling the OT God with the Christian one Jesus talked about, perhaps it is time to remove the OT from the Christian Bible and treat it simply as a fascinating origin of man myth and history of the ME peoples, instead of a sacred book. After all, the OT can be - and all too often is - used to justify virtually anything, from incest through slavery to ethnic cleansing!
