The one word is... meh. If you want two words, then... oy vey. Three words? What the frick...
More words, maybe? Okay... spoilers:
- SIX people, not eight
- ONE of them a STOWAWAY... who was a descendent of CAIN, Tubal-Cain, who turned Ham against Noah AND slashed one animal's throat and disemboweled it ON the ark DURING the flood (and so NOT all animals that went ON came OFF)
- Only Shem had a wife (Ham ALMOST had one but Noah let her be killed and Japheth was only about 12 years old, if that)
- Children were born ON the ark (twin daughters born to Shem's wife, who had BEEN barren but was made "fruitful" by... METHUSELAH!
- Ark was built more by several of the remaining fallen spirits (remaining because the others had been killed by man!)... than by Noah and his sons (remember, one son only a
child)... "fallen" because they loved and tried to HELP mankind because of their fondness for ADHAM, for which they were punished... by being turned into stone monsters... BY God
- Rain and flood (and attack by people wanting to overtake the ark) comes before ark is even completed (versus rains starting after Noah, wife, three sons, and their THREE wives had been in ark, which was sealed by JAH... for days SEVEN, giving folks STILL some time to have a change of heart BEFORE the rain started)
- Methuselah killed by flood but fallen angels "forgiven" and taken BACK to the spirit realm before flood
- And more, unfortunately. Well, maybe unfortunately. Maybe not. Different strokes...
Of course, I squirmed in my seat a bit (a lot - LOLOL!) due to the discrepancies and "artistic license" (i.e., lies - LOLOL! - especially those about JAH, but hey, I got it was a movie/"story-telling", so...)
And so... although I HATE that some folks (children!!) are gonna believe that these things are what actually occurred/the Bible "says"... if one can bring themselves to maybe look at it perhaps as a "'What If Mad Max Built the Ark Instead of No'Jah In A 'Book of Eli Meets Waterworld'l historical FICTION kinda flick"... they might be able to get through it without too much trouble.
The graphics weren't half bad, althouh the rock-spirits give the impression the film's creators ran out of/couldn't come up with ideas on how to include the Nephilim ("Watchers") and so fell back on something between the Thing (from the Fantastic Four) and the Scorpion King... meets the Transformers...
The underlying message is really pretty intriguing, though, and while I can't see how on EARTH it would ever get folks to WANNA turn to JAH/God, let alone serve Him... MIGHT pique some (a few) consciences as to the purpose for and view/treatment of animals. Maybe even of each other/the earth. Maybe.
Would I recommend it? For pure entertainment, sure, why not. For a truthful (hack, cough, okay, SEMI-truthful) of the event... sorry, no can do. But, again, different strokes for different folks - LOLOL! If you DO go to see it... enjoy. It's prolly not the worse Bible-based movie you'll see in your lifetime.
Peace, chikkens!
YSSFS of Christ,
Shellamar, thinkin' maybe this belongs in "Just For Fun" but since it's about a
Biblical event... whad'ya y'all think? Also, what about a "Movie Review" room there (or maybe we already have one. Somehow, I seem to recall something like that in the first forum?)
