Noah

Jean, This is one big, sweeping movie on the big screen. It is quite impressive as they bring into the Bible story some new characters and imaginative creatures to make the story work. The location shots done in Iceland are very scenic and add authenticity. Russell Crowe is back in his Gladiator mode and carries his role of Noah off impressively. The shots of the animals, including the birds and the snakes are quite starling to see.  The ark being built and then on those wild ocean waters looks very realistic and scary.I was surprised how you were drawn into the personal life of Noah and his family. Some of the folks entering the theater were asking the ticket taker if they were going to get  wet. On coming out of the movie,  there were many of those viewers with teary eyes. It worked for them and it worked for me as well. It was one audacious bit of story telling that worked.  Dad
