Yes. I intially wrote my feelings about the movie here on this thread...and it was based on what I had heard from Beck and others. I went to see the movie in order to add my own voice to the chorus, and was going to detail the things I felt were terribly wrong with it.

Then I did see the movie and found that the negatives were, IMHO, over-stated, and over blown.

There are issues with the story and I detail them in that link which has my own review after watching the movie myself. but I also found that the sttory has a LOT of good info in it that is very much in agreeement with the Biblical account, and in the end, the biggest issue (Noah misinterpreting God’s mission for him in the movie) is resolved and Noah and his family come through the flood and are blessed to mulitpl and replenish the earth.

So, I decided to write that review at the link you mentioned.

A lot of folks do not agree with it. But, it is based on my own viewing of the movie and not what someone else said about it.

Despite the issues with the movie, it does depict the earth as being created by God, the Creator (which it calls him throughout the movie) and having made man (ADam and Eve) in his own image. when Adam and Eve partake of the forbidden fruit in the GArden, they are cast out.

Their son Cain kills their son Abel and Cain and his descendants multiple and become universally corrupt and wicked. Through Seth, Adams third son, a rightous group of people are raised up, ultimately through Mthuslah and his grandson Noah.

Noah is told by God to build the Ark. He and his sons do so. The animals come to the Ark as commanded by God and enter in. Mankind ultimately wants to take the Ark but the flood comes and destroyes them. NOah and his family survive, bring the animals and theirselves to the other side, and are ultimately blessed.

The movie definitively tells those things...all of them. But in telling it, in several areas (and I point them out in my review) they depart from the Biblical account. In the end, it is all resovled and I felt the movie was decent in that respect.

I am very conservative and have been involved directly in the fight against environmentalism, Agenda 21, and US government agencies attempting to implement them. This movie does have some of that message in it...but it is not over-riding. The over-riding message is the message of the flood, and NOah being called to bring his family and the animals through it while God destroyes the wicked. I felt that was strong enough throughout the movie, despite the departues, to recommend it.

That’s how my oringial statments and my own review came about.
