"Noah" (2014)


Synopsis:
In this Biblically inspired epic, an man by the name of Noah is chosen by God to take a momentous mission involving building an ark before an apocalyptic flood occurs to cleanse the Earth. 

Review:
I'm a christian and a fan of Darren Aronofsky's films and I enjoyed this film very much. The story, while not 100% accurate to the Bible, was well told. The acting was excellent, the visuals were stunning and it has a pretty neat artistic design and some pretty cool and intense action sequences and cool rock angels.

My one complaint is that it felt a bit longer than it needed to be.

Overall, I really enjoyed this film and I think it's almost everything a Biblically inspired film from a non-christian standpoint should be.

One thing you should know is that this is not a religious film. If you expect something religious or remotely accurate then you will be disappointed. But if you love movies and/or enjoyed Darren Aronofsky's other work such as "The Fountain", then I'm sure you will fing this enjoyable.

In the end I'll say that "Noah", while not entirely accurate to the classic source material, is an impressive different take on the bible story with neat visuals and action sequences that should satisfy moviegoers.

Max Scale:
9/10
