Noah Review
-
Steve, a major component of your review is that the movie isn't Biblically accurate. Now, I haven't seen the movie yet, but is that a fair criticism for something that clearly isn't aiming to be true to the Bible? Just curious as to how the score would look if it wasn't (very loosely) based on a Bible story. How would you have rated the original 300.

As far as I know, this is the original 300 spartans. Much better then the remake.

honestly I kind of forget I think I liked the original 300 a little bit just because it looked cool. I didn't care about the history. I don't think Noah looked that cool and I don't think the story was that much fun even if it had nothing to do with the Bible. Also during one of his interviews I believe Aronofsky said that he believed that captured the spirit of the original story in the book of Genesis.but of course it's called Noah and it's about Noah and it's about the Ark and it's about God and it's about destroying the world with a flood at its about salvation so what the hell.
Just saying that its assumedly bullshit doesn't count. Like rollerball 1 and rollerball 2.
And just because of the subject matter it is actually a Bible story. And in that sense, remember I gave two criteria, it fails miserably. That's all. I didn't hate it as badly as Black Swan!

The story of the 300 is not based on the Bible...but on history. There is no doubt that the events of The 300 occurred, but there are grave doubts that the events of Noah are factual.
Maybe if they had stylized Noah as a graphic novel ala The 300 it would have been more well received.
Hey! There you go: do the Ten Commandment ala 300.
(I understand there is a new Sin City movie coming.)

There has been many well funded expeditions in an effort to find the Arc on Mt Ararat which has been parked there for over two thousand years......a of couple seconds in geology speak. If it is located as written in the Sciptures , it seems to me it would have been located.
And if there were truly a "Bigfoot", "Sasquatch" lurking it surely would have been tracked by now.

300 wasn't a remake of that. It was a very close adaptation of Frank Millers terrific graphic novel 300. Same historical story of the battle of Thermopylae, yes. Not a remake of that.

Well, it is obviously questionable at to whether an ark was ever built, or ever parked on Mt. Ararat. Beyond that, assuming the ark was ever a reality, that vessel would have been the peoples greatest resource for shelter, heat etc.
I surmise that is it did exist, then it was used by Noah and his people to build shelter and to burn for fuel. It would, after all, be the only source of fuel they could have probably found.
So look for the Ark in the ash pits.
And, oh yea, so apparently the unicorn had the tastiest meat of all the animals...so that is why it didn't make it, eh?

Of course none of that is relevant as to whether the movie is an accurate depiction of the story in the book of Genesis. The Book of Genesis is what it is. Similarly if Peter Jackson would have completely changed the Lord of the Rings it would not have been a good representation of that book whether or not dwarves and elves ever walked the earth.
