Did you see the IMAX presentation?

I am thinking of checking it out tomorrow afternoon at my nearest IMAX before Winter Soldier gives it the heave-ho on Friday.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

No, I saw it 2D. Might have actually been film! -eek-

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

The movie is very against my religious beliefs, and removed God from the story! I cannot understand how they could do this.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Did you see the film? God is most definitely in it.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Just got back from this and it was pretty damn entertaining. It was also very LOTR-esque and I do think Russell Crowe gives a great performance.

The Creator = God.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I've seen that complaint a few times about taking God out of it, and I'm just curious if we all saw the same movie?

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

My friend saw the film and liked it a lot. I like this paragraph from his review.

On the surface, Noah has some concepts that I found to be awesome. How does one man build a giant wooden ark, serviceable enough to contain every animal and survive a huge flood? He is given help from beings known as “Watchers”. The Watchers are huge stone creatures that were once angels. Here is a way to say that the film is definitely rooted in the fantastical. While the posters want to suggest a dark and gritty Noah movie (which the film technically is), it is not one that is rooted in reality. The visual effects may not be flawless when it comes to showing us two of every creature, but the Watchers are the kind of out-there visual that provides Noah with its own identity, breaking it away from the traditional biblical epic.

Where hell did you see this on film?! Did he shoot this one on celluloid? I thought this was when he'd finally started shooting digitally.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Just because something is shot digital doesn't mean it can't be projected in 35 mm. But I doubt there are any 35 mm engagements of Noah in that format.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

:confused:

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

What's confusing? You can transfer digital images to film stock.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I do too, that's why I wondered where he'd seen it if he had.

You can transfer a film shot digitally to celluloid. I can't see it being done for distribution purposes, but from what I understand, digital storage is actually a pretty big issue right now, and it's a much safer bet to store a digitally-shot film on 35mm to archive it.

I'm assuming the IMAX version of this is just a marketing thing with a new sound mix? Wasn't shot in the format, I don't think.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I'm going to pass on "God's Not Dead" because it looks horrible. The writers of that movie apparently used religious arguments that 12 year-olds came up with to stump each other. See any of the threads in the Religion/Politics section to see how quickly those same stupid arguments fare in real life.

True Detective had a single 90 second scene in it that blasts that movie out of the water in terms of theological debating.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I am imagining Noah walking around the Ark looking at all the animals trying to decide what is for dinner.


Chickens look around and notice there are several hundred of them but only two of all other species and realize they are f*cked.


Also, people complained when Peter Jackson turned the Hobbit into a trilogy so where is the outrage about Aronofsky taking a story that is practically 6 sentences long and stretching it into a 2 plus hour film?

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Don't watch the show... Yet. But what was the scene?

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Maybe nsfw for language.

Sunglasses man sure was projecting hard.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

You need to see their conversations leading up to that one. Great stuff.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Was gonna spilerize this but fuck it.

The Master Dog is in this!

:5star:

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Dolph Lundgren or Snoop Dog?

I'm assuming the writer is an atheist?

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

I know you can transfer to film. He said you can "project it to 35mm" and that phrase confused me.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

No he didn't. He wrote "projected in 35mm." You even quoted his post.

Re: Noah (Aronofsky, 2014) — The Reviews Thread
 

Why would you assume that? Did you only hear one side of the conversation? Are writers only allowed to write characters who believe as they do?
