Trivia:
The massed animal scenes seemingly showing thousands of approaching animals used digitally effects to increase apparent numbers. However, contrary to rumor, the lesser numbers of helper animals present during Ark construction outdoor scenes were quite real. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: When Evan is in his office surrounded by birds, behind him are two blue peacocks. Male peacocks are blue, the female peacock (called a peahen) is brown. moreQuotes:

This movie turned out to be a little better than I thought. Steve Carroll was funny as usually. The animals were cool too. Some of them were real, but a lot of them were computer generated. I thought the film sent a good message. That spending family time is important and that is what God was trying to teach the Baxter's. I liked the part that Evan couldn't cut his hair or beard and then then the Moses robes added to the effect. I have to take away some praise though with the whole ark floating though Washington DC. That was just plain silly. Wanda Sikes gets some good one liners too.
FINAL VERDICT: More geared for kids. It's OK to watch once, but not good enough for more viewings.
