Reviews won’t help. Everyone can smell the stultifying environmentalist revisionist history that is this movie. And what’s worse, the tracking is in.
Tracking is a type of polling that predicts box office success/failure by measuring audience awareness of a film and the intent to go see it. The tracking says no one is going to see “Noah.”
The trailer’s been out for months. The first tracking numbers were dismal. So they recut the trailer. They showcase the actors as themselves in the new trailers, doing interviews about how awesome the movie is. Um, their own movie.
I just saw the new trailer two weeks ago, and the untrammeled self-righteouness made the audience squirm and snicker. Emma Watson and Jennifer Connelly say I should go see it?! Well, why didn’t you say so?! All righty, then!
Oh, and the tracking hasn’t improved.
Even the director does a “talking head” in the new trailer, telling us how “important” this story is. Um, Darren — you’re not Spielberg. Nobody knows who you are. Or cares.
Big money down says “Noah” is DOA.
“Um, Darren — you’re not Spielberg”.
So you like Spielberg liberal take in every movie he’s ever made?
