A review by bmurray153
Noah by Darren Aronofsky, Ari Handel

3.0

An unconventional retelling of the biblical classic, "Noah" develops the rather simple story by adding characters, plot, and elements of fantasy and science fiction. Does it work? Yeah, kind of. Some of the inserted action feels a bit ridiculous. The dialogue and narration can at best meditative, but at worse clunky and awkward. But nonetheless, Aronofsky has some grand philosophical statements on the potential of humanity, illustrated by the breath taking artwork. It doesn't always have the best execution, but the creativity and development added to this rather short biblical tale makes it much more entertaining and thought provoking than it has even been.
