I looked forward to watching Noah! It's rare you see a director like Darren Aronofsky work on a project that can attract every culture and every religion. But the storyline was flawed, the visual effects was cheap and the acting and directing were only OK. That's disappointing considering the cast and crew who worked on this film. I'm not criticizing on behalf of a Muslim, who believes in a different kind of story about Noah -peace be upon him-, No! I'm criticizing on behalf of someone who loves films and the least she expected was good visual effects, directing and acting.
If I wanted to see the story I have heard about Noah, from when I was a child, it would be like this : Noah lived for 900 years. He had 5 Boys. Shem was the eldest (who became a prophet after his father and the line of prophets came from him until it reached Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, and ... ). The first 300 years of his life he guided people to believe in God. Sometimes the people beat him so hard (and he wouldn't fight back) that he had to crawl away from them. The second 300 years he started planting trees and making the Arc and gathering the animals and his followers (One of his sons was among the non-believers). the third 300 years came the rain and water that cleansed the earth from non-believers (Noah's son included). There was no fallen angel! There was no fight to capture the Ark by people, Because they believed Noah to be wrong (they often made fun of him for making a big Ark in the middle of dry land, believing their doom was never to come). And most important of all, there were people, other than Noah's family on the Ark.
