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.

Critics Consensus

With sweeping visuals grounded by strong performances in service of a timeless tale told on a human scale, Darren Aronofsky's Noah brings the Bible epic into the 21st century.

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

The CGI animals are spectacular, the battles less so and, though none of it really makes sense, neither, some might argue, does the Bible.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Noah plays way too loose with the text to be a satisfying film, no matter how hard it tries.

Rated: 2/5

Midwest Film Journal

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.

Rated: 4/5

As an exercise in retelling the story, it'll draw more laughs and grunts of incomprehension than actual admiration. Still, Noah is a brave film – and that's always worth appreciating.

Could've been a great movie, the lead actor and good visuals had potential but failed in the execution. Goes from "ok, I see what you did there" to "what the hell is going on here" losing all sense and all the interest the viewer had originally. Could've been the key word here.

Darren Aronofsky’s Noah is an ambitious reimagining of the biblical story, blending warrior battles with theological myth. Russell Crowe delivers a gripping performance as the tormented Noah, while the film’s bold artistic choices—such as the Watchers, towering rock-like fallen angels—add a unique, though strange, fantasy element. The movie excels in its environmental themes and thought-provoking moral dilemmas but falters in pacing. While Noah is a daring and visually arresting take on the Genesis tale, its mix of blockbuster action and biblical storytelling with only impress a small margin of people.

Came upon this movie by accident flipping channels and saw a scene in some woods..., never heard of it. Saw Russel Crowe and thought it was a Robin Hood sequel or something but then heard the Noah reference. Flipped it on to watch while doing a few things in the office......... It was very watchable and enjoyable. As a Christian and student of the Bible it was an interesting perspective and screen adaption.

Unbelievable, Incomprehensible and lackluster by any stretch of my over active imagination. Not worth 3 hours of my life and wish I could get it back. But I loved Russell Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind" and "Gladiator".
