Okay. So I saw the Noah movie (I saw Captain America Thursday night). I am a Christian.
While the graphics and shit like that was pretty cool, WTF were those fallen angel "transformer" pieces of rock shit? Thought I was watching Transformers meets Lord of the Rings for a while.
Yeah. Visually stunning. Great acting by Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connolly, and Emma Watson. And by great acting, I mean they were pretty damn convincing of their emotions.
It was way off from the Bible, but that was to be expected. My wife had a bigger issue with that than I did (her parents are Southern Baptist [dad's a preacher]), and that will be a downer for many Christians (And even Muslim's I hear), but it was visually stunning and the parts that meshed with the Bible were pretty fucking awesome.
Random strange thought, if Noah and his sons had AR-15 with multiple 30 round P-Mags, they wouldn't have really needed the Optimus fallen-angel rock group Prime to go all fuckity-doo-da on the village idiots.
Yeah, this review is pretty shitty, kind of like how a lot of people view the movie.
I have always been an Aronofsky fan (PI, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan), but maybe he should have used a different original fiction story to express the themes expressed in this movie. He certainly has the mind for it. Not sure why an athiest gets a boner for the Noah story in a story he can re-write with almost any other fiction story and get his message across.
