I have not seen it. I’ve heard some negative reviews from people of faith though. Some have said that this is a politically correct version of the Noah’s ark story, in which Noah is concerned about global warming.
If that’s true, I will pass on this. I am pleased to see Hollywood make some intelligent faith based movies, but, if they aren’t going to be faithful to the actual story, or if they insist on injecting political correctness into it, I would rather Hollywood not bother at all.
I decided to see it after a cute lady asked. So, I put all accounts aside and saw it as a movie on its own.
It’s kind of hokey, like a star trek-ish disaster movie where the script writers kept looking for emotional angles to support the boring plot.
Seriously, how can anybody do an interesting story about a boat and a flood? You can’t do a remake of Gilligan’s Island, there’s no island. All you can do is develop some excuse for the building of a giant ark by a crew of rock creatures, let the rains fall and then say “Boy, glad that’s over; the end!”
The writers got in a few cheap shots at biblical verses, such as man having dominion over all the animals as the villain eats a lizard. The writers should have put him in as slaughtering a Unicorn instead.
I see a sequel coming up. The rock creatures build the pyramids in Egypt and prove the jews should not be in Israel.
