This movie was bad, very boring, and seemed to be a lot longer than its run time, which is never a good thing. I won't even go into how the movie's story line could diverge as much as it did from the Bible. I'll just leave it at that and focus on why it failed as movie in general.
This movie fails because it has no real set story line and decides to be a political driven agenda movie instead of being a movie with good characters. It pushes the Eco, be green, global warming, and man is destroying the environment down my throat, leaving this movie as subtle as a sledge hammer. This Eco message becomes the story line and driving point of the whole movie, characters and story line be damned. Then lets throw in as many cliched conflicts points and scenes as can be there for no other reason than they just have to be there as long as the Eco message is being driven home. This lack of real characters is very sore spot in the movie. No clear cut characters populate this movie only cliche ridden cardboard stamped people that serve no more purpose to rise up at certain points in the movie to provide some conflict. The characters aren't people and I never once cared about anyone in this film. Most of them are unlikable to a fault - especially Noah.
The other thing I couldn't figure out was why Aronofsky decided to go all independent with some of the shots and scenes in this movie. There were a lot scenes where the shots felt dated, gimmicky, and low budget, which for me totally brought me out the movie and the story being told. Scenes should never do this as these scenes completely broke the pacing and flow of the movie. I couldn't seen any justification for him to do the scenes like he chose to do them. It made no sense to me and left me more confused than anything else.
Overall this movie was just confusing mess.
