Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to writer, producer, and director Darren Aronofsky, the animals seen in this movie are "slightly tweaked designs of real existing animals." No real animals were used in the production at all.
- GoofsAll the animals are sedated and are all seen lying down. An elephant normally only sleeps for about four hours a day. If an elephant were to lie on its side for more than a day (for example) the weight of its internal organs would cause them to rupture and fail.

Updating well known stories, good idea or bad ?
A mixture between a good CGI film and Hollywood elements! For better or worse that's up to the viewer to see. Personally, though I do not find the film to be a great adaptation, there are some very impressive features about the film.
Russell Crowe was fantastic as Noah, what I liked about it (which was just as much to do with the writing as Crowe's performance) was the morale dilemma that this man was forced to suffer. You can clearly see that though he thinks he his doing the right thing, Noah is forced to make some very tough decisions such as potentially killing his own grandchildren. The rest of Noah's family (Watson, Connelly etc.) they were all wonderful. Another strong aspect of the film where some of the awesome angles and shots that Aronofsky got of the landscape as well as the CGI.
However, where the film fell short was in some of the Hollywood Clichés and strange adaptations. For example, though I am a fan of Ray Winstone I do not believe that he was right for the part of Tubal-Cain, his cockney mannerisms just hindered me from seeing a character, all I saw was Ray Winstone! I could have seen Liam Neeson, Gerard Butler or Brendan Gleeson pulling of the role better. Also the use of the "watchers" put me off, both in terms of their design and the fact that they did not contribute hugely to the story and I feel they could have been written out and the film could still have been as affective, if not more.
Overall, I did enjoy Noah, despite its flaws and it's not for everyone. I'm glad I saw it and will probably see it again.
