When God decides that mankind has become too sinful and must be wiped off the Earth, he chooses Noah (Russell Crowe), a pious man, for a great task. Noah must build an ark large enough to hold his wife (Jennifer Connelly), adopted daughter (Emma Watson), sons (Logan Lerman, Douglas Booth, Leo McHugh Carroll) and their wives -- plus breeding pairs of every animal. When the task is completed, Noah and his family witness God's wrath in the form of an apocalyptic flood.

Perhaps one of the Ten Commandments should be "Thou shalt not make an Old Testament epic". Go to Full Review

The CGI animals are spectacular, the battles less so and, though none of it really makes sense, neither, some might argue, does the Bible. Go to Full Review
Jason Bailey Flavorwire Jun 18, 2016
It's as odd and schizophrenic a picture as you're likely to see in the focus-grouped, play-it-safe moviemaking climate of the moment, and the fact that it exists at all is sort of a (ha ha) miracle. Go to Full Review

As Aronofsky tries to make sense of an emotional parable, often achieving such in stunning visual terms, 'Noah' is a messy, disaster epic that works as a character study and red-blooded fantasy both. Go to Full Review

Noah plays way too loose with the text to be a satisfying film, no matter how hard it tries. Go to Full Review
Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Apr 7, 2024
4/5
The film questions a creator’s obligations at earthly and spiritual levels, with complications that concern masculine privilege to color the margins. "Noah" doesn’t preach to the choir. It dares the choir to keep up amid minor chords & melodic inversion. Go to Full Review

Leia G Apr 6, 2019 Blasphemous rubbish. I walked out half-way through the film.
Apr 6, 2019 This movie is visually stunning, yes, i will give it that. But the movie in general, its... fine i guess.
Finn G Mar 31, 2019 Great film may offend some but you can't say its not a powerful movie, worth watching.
Abraham R Feb 10, 2019 In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth. It's unclear from the original text as to when he created giant rock monsters but fast forward to 2014 and Darren Aronofski released the film, Noah. While God took 7 days to create the World, Aronofski's reboot of God's epic took 14 years (screenplay to release) and cost $130 million. We can only speculate over God's budget for the original but given his work was antediluvian, we can assume it must have been on a relative shoestring. Perhaps a direct comparison is not fair. While Darrenofski is one of the few modern Directors to be consistently given a sizeable budget to fulfil a singular vision, God had complete autonomy (and omnipotence). So comparisons aside, does Darrenofski's flick sink or float? For all the epic scale, special effects and aforementioned giant rock monsters of the first act, Noah is most engaging when it develops into a story of a family rent asunder by a father's will to do what he believes is right. It is this second act, set wholly within the ark in which all supporting actors shine in their portrayals of various family members torn between ultimate sacrifice and the protection of innocence. Crowe's performance is adept as the conflicted-come murderous father and far more rewarding for me than the well-trodden fight scenes of Act 1. But as engaging as the second act is, it will remain for me the only memorable element of a film which is hindered more than helped by its epic scale. Perhaps both auteurs could have benefitted from reigning in their vision slightly, after all God did create Michael Bay. See more
Leia S Feb 7, 2019 Garbage movie. Atheist director markets off of the name of Noah while proudly proclaiming his distortions. Hypocritical piece of garbage lacks the imagination to come up with his own story so he has to borrow from the Bible while trashing it. See more
Jan 15, 2019 Anything this movie could have done well was completely ruined if it had taken it's inspiration from Enoch literally (Angels who taken human male flesh and took for themselves human wives and bore giants which then led to the giants eating man and man making themselves weapons... maybe that would have been interesting... but as it is I'd simply say skip and perhaps listen to the book of Enoch and watch Testament the Bible in Animation the Creation and Flood instead.
