Guest shiloh357 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The movie is basically an apologetic for environmentalism with a biblical veneer. I would not waste money going to see it or renting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not meant to be a Biblical portrayal. It is ... theatrics. I think if people know this in advance, there is less chance for disappointment and higher chance for enjoyment.

While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values, and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.'"http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/02/28/noah-movies-bible-controversy-leads-paramount-to-add-explanatory-message-to-advertising-materials/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
