What a mess.<br /><br />I kept waiting to learn more about those flashy lighty super power sources from the... oh, my memory's bad on this one -- where were they from? The Nephilim? Really? Anyway, did those power sources destroy the environment or was it just bad people -- the eco terrorists? Methuselah? Magic potion for dreams for Noah from the last flower in creation? Oh, boy. And weren't there eight humans aboard the ark? I think I counted six. Humanity was kinda short on the gene pool and the bad guy king got aboard. <br /><br />The big question is why did Paramount pay $160 million to make the movie? Sure, it was a commercial success, but they could have saved a lot of money just by filming the whole thing in a junk yard and limit the special effects.<br /><br />With how preposterous the whole thing was, I should have my sides hurting from laughing at the unintended humor, but as Sulu said on the Enterprise, "He sure talks gloomy", Russell Crowe should have taken some uppers and phoned in his performance -- wait! Maybe he did!<br /><br />Well for sure, God didn't make it real clear in the movie why he wanted man destroyed or that humanity should even survive. Was the ark just for animals and humans were to die out. It's nice that Crowe had an epiphany before the final end of the video because none of us nearly existed. It's too bad Dr. Phil wasn't around to counsel Noah. In fact, it's clear that comprehensive family counselling was needed by mental health professionals, who, unfortunately weren't born yet.<br /><br />The whole thing's an insult, even if and maybe especially if you are an atheist. Oh, I don't know. I think everybody but Paramount lost with this turkey.<br /><br />The best thing I can say about it is that I saw it in 3D. Not even the music was that compelling.<br /><br />I highly recommend it for depressives that get off on gloomy hopelessness.<br /><br />Anyone want to review The Swan. I probably don't want to see that movie either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
