Noah - DVD

Excellent cast with a particularly uncharacteristic role for Russell Crowe. How can one not like a movie with Anthony Hopkins, Crowe, Jennifer Connelly & Ray Winstone? ALMOST a bit too long, but great photography and special effects. Of course, not being there, one can never know how historically accurate it is or isn't...

This movie is losely based on the bibles Noah, with a twist on where Noah desended from and the conflict between the families. When angles tried to help with the conflict they were condemned to earth as rock poeple to aid in settling the conflict. Overall it was a good movie with the stereo typical fight between right & wrong.

Great movie based on Biblical story...don't try to make it a "bible" story, because it is only based on the bible. Put together great with its own twists to it. My whole family watched it and enoyed it. Generated great family discussions.

Noah is an extremely dramatic retelling of the violent events of a worldwide flood in ancient times. Many cultures have a story similar to the Biblical Old Testament account. This movie incorporates some aspects of other culture's tales in its telling. This does not hurt the basic premise of the evils of mankind. But there is a definite juxtaposition of views on whether man is to "subdue" nature or "protect" it. I am disturbed by Noah's conclusion that this event means all humans must die out and that is part of his mission from God. But it is also logical that we humans can be wrong and can learn that justice is also tempered with mercy.

I really enjoyed the movie. Just don't get wrapped up in the "does it follow the Book" and you will probably enjoy this too. There were surprises in the story line, the kept me wanting to see the rest of the movie.
