Whatever floats your boat

Noah (2014)

Directed by Darren Aronofsky this film inspired by the biblical story of Noah stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson and Ray Winstone. A massive flood to wash the Earth clean is coming and one man is charged with building an ark to save the animals.

This is certainly a biblical epic unlike any you have seen before and could easily be a tale of a post apocalyptic future rather than a mythical past. Inevitably the film has to embellish without source to fill the long run time and while it is always entertaining I am not sure purists will be pleased. For me the plot never really went anywhere interesting with the subject matter but it is mostly well made.


3/5
