No thanks.
Ugh I’m sick of hearing a/b this movie (and “God’s not Dead” from the other direction.)
I saw the movie, SeekAndFind
It was a dark version, but there were some things in there that I hadn’t thought of. In Genesis 5, the patriarchs life span was 900, Lamech - Noah’s father - was 777.
* Spoiler Alert *
The movie portrayed Lamech as being murdered, which is a possibility.
Don't listen to those who advise seeing this film no matter what the reasons are for giving it.
One thing for certain, rather than hoping to "gain an insight to ......" you are giving the largest cesspool responsible for the decline in morals of this nation, billions of your hard-earned dollars!
Give the amount to the Christian institution of your choice, stay home and study what the scriptures has to say about adding anything to it!
One thing for certain, nothing from this film comes from the Holy Bible so why not rent a copy of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and pretend it's a tale about the life of Jesus of Nazareth, if you must support Hollywierd!
Euphemism for lying..........
Nah. I don’t want to put one nickel into the pockets of people who mock God’s Word.
“The spirituality. In a cynical, secular world, Christians should appreciate the (I would argue) positive portrayal of the concept of spirituality. Whether or not the theology is perfect, it is entirely possible this film will spark an interest in viewers who will explore these issues for themselves.”
Does the author speak with a lisp?
No. Period.
There have been so many threads about this movie- I haven’t seen it and plan on staying away. But I keep thinking what a shame it is that this movie wasn’t done with biblical accuracy- what a waste- it could have opened up doors to discussions about Christ Jesus- it could have led people to Christ....truly a shame.
Eh... no.
Advice....instead, go see the Christian-themed movie "God's Not Dead". It's a very good film on all levels.
The studio and the director made a liberal, leftist, ‘green’, global warming and enviro-whacko PROPAGANDA HIT PIECE against the foundations of Christianity and the Bible — and instead, sneaking in their enviro-whacko IDEOLOGY as the basis of the movie!
Dennis Prager, in the following Freeper posting, explains what is going on, in our culture. This movie NOAH is a prime example of how that works.
Judaism, Christianity, Environmentalism

“...Instead of hearing an audible voice, Noah mostly receives his instructions via dreams and visions ... than it would have been had there been an audible voice....”
Why do I hear Bill Cosby’s voice in my head saying “Noah! How Long Can You Tread Water?
“Spirituality”= hipsters trying to sound less shallow than they actually are.
I saw it on Saturday. Some observations.
1. It pretty much preserved the themes of judgement, mercy, and redemption, but got there by a pretty twisted path.
2. Visually the giant rock monsters look like they were a combination of the transformers and the Ents from Lord of the Rings.
3. They poked in a lot of stuff that is not in the Biblical account for the sake of creating dramatic conflict. It’s a movie so I understand what they did and in terms of telling an interesting story it works.
4. This is not Moses’ story. If that bothers you, I wouldn’t go see it. (If you are relying on Hollywood movies for spiritual edification you should probably reassess your strategy.)
Is there any connection between this Noah movie and the other Christian movie “Son of God”? Just seems weird they were released around the same time, when the last Hollywood Christian movie was what Passion of the Christ?
“My take is that Christians should see this film as doing more good than bad.”
Yeah, that is the foolish thinking that led me to check it out this past weekend.
This movie is to the Biblical story of Noah what The Last Temptation of Christ was to the Biblical Passion narrative.
This is no conversation starter for Biblical discussion. It would take several hours just to address the anti-Biblical aspects of the movie. It is no better than using the fact Jesus name is taken in vain so often in the movies, and making that the basis to bring up Christ to a movie patron.
Please don’t make the mistake I made and support this despicable Hollywood perversion.
