It's Aronofsky with a $125m budget, I'll definitely be watching it.

Is he finally shooting digitally with this one? At the very least, it'll be interesting and technically ambitious.

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

Just got out a screening of this. It's indeed extremely ambitious, visual, and quite stunningly constructed. I loved just about everything it had to offer. Aronofsky's interpretations of the story are brave, because they're sure to be met with extreme ire. It's a great movie though. Wonderful characters, huge set pieces, but Aronofsky's talent in creating very intimate moments out of spectacle.

(That's my 4/5 star review up there)

This.

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

This is now up to 80% with 26 reviews and a 7.7 out of 10 overall score.

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

Planning on an IMAX screening tomorrow or Saturday. I feel that's the only way to see a story this epic in nature.

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

Well the movie is very entertaining, acting is good, visually stunning. It gets you thinking, but as an atheist I just have to question how people believe even 10% of this actually happened.

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

I'm seeing it on Saturday. Looking forward to it. I don't think Aronofsky's ever disappointed me.

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

Is there anything like this in it? If not NO SALE.

Wait because Noah's wife doesn't have a name in The Bible they actually just named her NA'ME.

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

having seen it tonight, there actually is a little bit of that w Emma Watsons character (although obvs not shown)

As an athiest (& never having read the source material), i enjoyed the movie, & for the most part was able to follow it. Although there is kind of unintentional humor out of Anthony Hopkins' character Methuselah being obsessed with finding berries. Also the walking & talking rock creatures too, known as 'the watchers''

Also, semi stupid question, but is this the first time this story has been told on the big screen? outside of the 1928 version

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

per imdb, it was half and half, some in 35, some digitally. I assume most of the effects heavy stuff was shot digitally

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

Any movie that's controversial for churches has got to be at least decent. I'm an atheist, but Aronofsky has never really disappointed me ( though I never thought The Fountain was that good, just an interesting exercise).

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

looks very epic, I'll definetly watch it...I love the fact, that a stroy told for so many years, will no be able to be seen. When people tell the story it doesn't sound too exciting, because nobody thinks about all the stuff happening. Not enough imagination. I hope in this movie you get an impression of all the struggle that came with it:D

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

Probably because 90% of the film isn't even in the Bible according to what I've read. Giant rock monsters, seriously? Sounds like the director started with the Bible and ended up reading Lord of the Rings instead.

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

Giant rock monsters? :lol:

That is so absurd, I wish Aronofsky would have just stuck with the documented truth to tell his story. -wink-

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

The story the movie is based on is goofy, I think Aronofsky wanted to one up it :lol:

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

I thought his wife's name was Joan. She was on Knots Landing and saved France.

rotfl

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

It's good to know the Rock Creatures finally found work, after being cut from STAR TREK V back in 1989 due to budgetary concerns.

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

I'd pay to see that movie.

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

Still not sure if I want to see this or not. It's Aronofsky, and I like Crowe, but the trailer...meh.

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

It currently has 99 reviews, it's at 78%

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

Yea... I just have no desire to see this. Maybe I'll check out that Guy Pierce movie.
