So my wife and I saw Noah last night and, even though we went in with low expectations, were extremely disappointed. I'd heard interviews with Darren Aronofsky prior to seeing the film and he had defended certain "additions" to the movie as basically artistic license to fill-out the movie because of the fact that the Biblical account of Noah is so sparse. I can grant him that. However, I'm surprised at how many parts of the story that he felt the need to change, precisely because of that fact! It specifically states in the Bible that Noah's three sons "and their wives" were on-board the ark, yet he totally deviated from that. (Instead he concocts the plot-line of having only one son have a wife who happens to give birth to twin daughters, thereby providing supposed 'wives' for Noah's other son(s). We're not sure whether his son Ham is amongst those who later procreate because he takes off at the end of the movie to supposedly 'walk the earth alone' like "Cain from 'Kung-Fu'," to paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson's character from Pulp Fiction.) Yet another aspect of the story that differs from the Biblical account.
And don't even get me started about 'the Watchers'! That totally took me right out of the movie. I felt like I was watching Michael Bay's "Noah-Age of Extinction!" Suffice it to say, I won't be getting the Blu-Ray. On an upside, my popcorn was good.
I'll wait for The Epic Of Gilgamesh.

Well yeah I mean if you went in expecting a close to the mark story out of the bible You are going to be very disapointed
