And what do you expect from a director who is a "card-carrying ATHEIST"!
Noah, The Film: All Washed Up
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3138756/posts
The pre-release advertising promoting the movie Noah made a point of stating that while the director took artistic license in the production it was still faithful to the biblical story. Early theater previews were carefully edited to appeal to people of faith, but this is the least biblical “biblical film” of all time!
However, to be charitable, the bare outline of the Flood story is present, but after that artistic license has taken the film so far afield of anything resembling the Bible that it is offensive to people of faith. To say that the biblical story was watered down (pardon the pun) is much too mild.
Those who know the Bible were aware of how little the script followed Scripture. Those who didn’t know the Bible still didn’t know it when the final credits appeared. It is to the movie studio’s credit that they chose to even make a film with a biblical theme, but the torturous fiction that was the final cut partly written and directed by an atheist is a discredit to both the studio and the actors and is, in result, worse than having not made it at all. Remember the old adage of making a bottle of poison look nicer by removing the ugly skull and crossbones label and replacing it with one that read “essence of peppermint?” The bottle now looks pretty, but is even more deadly because of its deceptive label.
To a generation that already rejects the Genesis account as pure fiction, mixing a little Bible with a film of impure fiction is even worse – and certainly more dangerous to faith. For those who have not seen the movie and may think my judgments too harsh, please consider the following.

I was at a Christian book store (part of a chain) in Ft Worth years ago that didn’t have one copy of the KJV Bible. They had plenty of trinkets and such and other bibles that were more “modern”.
The people who get their biblical views from the movie are the same people who get their news from late night comedy shows.
Something from “Answers in Genesis” ...
Noah Movie Review: An Unbiblical Film
A group of Answers in Genesis staff attended the opening of Noah last night in a local movie theater. With all the Hollywood hype and news surrounding the controversial film, we were surprised at the low turnout, with only twelve other people in the theater. We had heard many negative reports but were hopeful, based on other comments, that there may have been some redeeming qualities of the film. However, those hopes were dashed against the rocks harder than Hollywood’s ark when it ran aground in the film. This point should be one that jars us to attention, realizing that our hope is not in a Hollywood film but in something infinitely more redeeming in quality: the person and work of Jesus Christ.
There are four elements from the biblical account that you will recognize in this film, but little else from Genesis 6–9. First, of course, there is a man named Noah, and he has three sons with the biblical names. Second, Noah builds an ark that is true to the biblical proportions (though it did not look seaworthy) and there were lots of animals that came to him and were on board (though far more creatures were crammed inside than were needed). Third, there is a flood that appears to cover the entire globe (though it’s not explicitly taught). Fourth, mankind is depicted as extremely wicked (but because the film’s agenda is more about the environment, man’s wickedness was not so much sin against God but in how people were destroying the earth).
Ultimately, there is barely a hint of biblical accuracy in this almost two-and-a-half-hour film. But beyond being shocked at the massive distortions of God’s Word in Noah, we can recognize one opportunity: if you know of someone who has gone ahead and watched Noah (even with all the cautions AiG and others have presented about this unbiblical film), you can point a non-Christian toward trusting in God’s Word and the forgiveness offered in Jesus.
Here are just a few more of the many concerns with what we are calling a pagan film. (A more detailed review will be posted on the weekend that will point out many of the film’s pagan elements.)

Honest.
Defining Christianity down.
It only drew $15 million on its first weekend. Unless it pulls a Titanic, where it can draw that amount every week for the next year, it’ll be out of theatres in a few weeks at most.
Some people love sci-fi and Hollyweird outdid themselves on this one.
You couldn’t pay me to watch that garbage..its nothing but left wing crap, just a bunch of global warming, people are evil BS
I don't need Athiests or hypocritical Christians to tell me what movies I should or should not watch........
Movies are for entertainment purposes only, not biblical prophesy and I view them as such............
People such as you need to get a life.......
If you don't like the movie, fine, but don't don't preach to me and tell me what I should or should not watch..........
With all that being said, tell me Star Traveler, what exactly about this movie turned you so hostile against it? You did watch it right?
Yeah ... the very same ones that fawned over the Dan Brown books made into movies.
I am more interested in pics of Helen Thomas in her undies than in seeing this movie.
If such pics of Ms Thomas exist, please do not post them.
mini-review-—
Aronofsky’s decision to include big special effects-laden battle scenes is curious at best and disastrous at worst. These sequences, presumably included to make the film more visually spectacular, lapse into lethargy because there’s no real sense of tension or danger. We know Noah is going to get the ark underway. We don’t care about any of the CGI characters involved. It’s just eye candy. This raises larger questions about the pacing. At 138 minutes, Noah is too long; there are stretches when it drags.
Russell Crowe provides a fascinating interpretation of the title character. Every other depiction I have encountered of Noah presents him as a humble, pious man. Crowe’s Noah is a warrior. He kills more than his share of the unrighteous. He is intractable in his belief that humanity has earned its fate. And, when the journey is over and the ark has come to rest in the purified world, he is overcome by despair. Irrespective of whether or not the character of Noah is being used as a commentary on modern-day religious zealots who believe they have a monopoly on “the truth,” it’s a fascinating and unconventional interpretation of an iconic individual.
Although I've never seen it and probably never will, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, produced in 1964 by Pier Paolo Passolini, a Communist, might give Noah a run for its money.
They have spent millions in advertising the BS meter is needed.
The Cinemascore rating of the “movie” is going to kill it’s potential box office. Word of mouth is pretty bad for this flick, and with Captain America opening next week I suspect Noah drops some 65%+ at the box office next weekend.
Darker tale of Noah? As if this has anything to do with the Biblical tale
For any IDIOTS who are reading this far and haven’t yet understood what this movie is about ... here’s something from Randall Price (who had dealt with Noah’s Ark before in his archeological work, on a professional basis) ...
