I would like to know exactly how the film gets away from the Bible story. Almost everyone - Protestant, Catholic, and I think even Muslims have it.

If the movie strays too far from the story as told in the Bible, aren’t a lot of people going to say something’s wrong? I mean, it’s not like people are unfamiliar with it.

I don’t mind seeing the movie (big Crowe fan), but I’m just curious how you take a basic story about animals, water, an ark, and a man obeying God’s word, and mess that up?

I think I heard they take “environmental” stances in the picture but I have no idea. Maybe a search for reviews on the movie can clue one in. I’m sure I will see it eventually but probably not immediately, at the theater.

I have not found anything specific of how the story deviates from the Biblical Account. As with many Bible Stories they are brief and any artistic interpretation will have a lot of wiggle room.

The flood will has a lot of controversy like- who are the "Sons of God" described in Genesis 6: 1-4; was the flood regional or a global event. Not sure many will be happy

This guy can probably think of a way to ruin it:
