Ping!
I saw the movie last night, PATHETIC!
Thanks NYer. Excellent and enjoyable review. It’s a great piece of writing. And, oh yeah, rock people.
Importantly, Hollywood releases two statistics for film performance, “projections” and “actuals”. Projections are open to manipulation, so if a movie is a stinker, they might boost its numbers to make it at least a break even.
But only when the actuals come out (which for Noah’s Thursday to Sunday gross will be on Monday afternoon), will there be any accurate account.
The next most important thing is how rapidly the film declines after its opening long weekend. This shows the effect of word of mouth. If it immediately loses all its juice, that again indicates it is a stinker.
Really bad effects for a major motion picture with the rock people, who are actually a bastardization of the Nephilim(spoiler alert: They are the Nephilim that got covered in rock on impact after nearly burning up on reentry to earth`s atmosphere). As an actual biblical account of the deluge, it is a joke!
The story line is about 10 to 20% along the old testament, there`s an ark, a guy named Noah, a flood, and two of every animal, AND THATS IT!
I often read the movie reviews on Focus on the Family and in this case for some reason, they didn’t tear it apart and reject it.
“- Noah chides his son for ending the life of a teeny wildflower. And then he cuts down an entire forest to build his ark.”
Environmentalism in a nutshell.
John Nolte on Brietbart also has a terrific review of this anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-God film.
Bttt
Don’t worry I wasn’t oing o see it anway nd just watch it when came out on DVD but after heaing your review it ain’t happening. I guess that’s what happens when a biblical movie is directed by an ATHIEST director. i’ve heard Mara Rooney and her hysband of the Bible Series were involved ih the movie. I had my suspicions about her when I saw photos of her with plastic surgery and open blouses down to her naval. No true Christian woman dress like that nir would her husband approve of it. Well at least we know to not endorse or buy anymore of their products.
thanks for the post.
Liberalwood can’t do anything right but they get an award for it Oscar sucks.
What next? A Disney adaptation to "Paradise Lost" (those lovable satyrs go against that mean "man upstairs"!)? Oliver Stone's "Sodom and Gomorrah" (where self-righteous homophobes surround Lot's house to demand he bring out the two gay angels)?
Comical disasters such as this are the natural result of the ungodly trying to make movies about God. Their fear and loathing prevents them from understanding what it is all about. It’s much like asking a hyena to tell you about life.
Just saw the movie today.
If the movie was not supposed to based on the biblical story of Noah it would be barely passable simply because the acting is good.
The script is just silly and roams so far from the biblical story it should not be viewed as a bible story.
