FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1
The movie made me want to re-read the beginning of Genesis again. Gotta brush
up not only on the Noah story but of the Cain aftermath. They did a pretty good
job using the original source with the exception of their depiction of the
Nephilim. The first half of the film dragged for me, I was far more interested
once the rains came down and the floods came up.
2
Speaking of
the Nephilim, I didn’t know there were Neverending
Story Rockbiters during Noah’s time.
3
Some great intense acting from Crowe and Watson. They are always great to
watch on the screen.
4
On the flip side, Ray Winstone (Beowulf) and Logan Lerman (Lightning Thief)
are annoying to watch on screen. I just don’t like their acting or choices.
5
The clothing looked pretty well tailored.
RECOMMENDATION: Wait for Netflix
