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.

Horrible. They wanted to take the title and biblical history of Noah to gain the Christian demographic/Market, but they also didn’t want to offend people who aren’t or don’t care about the Bible and Christianity. AND they also didn’t think about or care if they offended Christians by making such drastic changes and departure from the actual biblical history. The result is a character and storyline so far removed from biblical history to gain and please the masses of non-Christian Movie-goers, but needed hold onto the person and title of “Noah” to market to Christians whom they still hoped would pay for tickets - even if those Christians were led to believe they would be watching the biblical account of Noah - Which this definitely is not.

Absolutely underrated movie, most people watch it expecting it to be a christian movie, that's why they get frustrated; It is not biblically accurate nor it tries to be, it treats the christian mythology as hollywood has always treated others like the greek mythology. This is an absolutely astonishing drama and a very interesting iteration on the myth.

This movie was so hilarious! I was laughing though the entire thing! I loved the middle where Noah was walking around like Jason from Friday the 13th! even though it was not accurate to the bible I enjoyed it very much.

When Hollywood takes the story of Noah and twists it for its own pleasure, it drowns.

If anything, this film offers even more reason why this story is absolutely ridiculous. Way too long to even enjoy. The fact that people actually think this happened is mind blowing
