I saw Noah a couple nights ago and was so impressed. It took a story and asked some difficult questions about humanity all the while asking ourselves to decide which version of it we prefer to live out in our own lives. It's genius! I came online here expecting other people to have similar reactions. Perhaps not surprisingly, however, there are many extremely (!) negative reviews. I have read a few and sincerely believe some of these people did not see the movie, but are religious extremists with some kind of agenda. It is sad to imagine that people are trying to rip a movie that intelligently and entertainingly engages us in asking tough questions about hope and love and what we really are.. But then some of these people are the same kind represented in the movie as the barbaric, selfish hordes who are only think of themselves and have little logic on which to base their opinions. Bottom line, don't listen to the religious fanatics, go see this great movie! By the way, in case this is of any interest, I am a Christian. My father is a pastor and I was raised reading the stories of Genesis since I was a youth. I hope people of all faiths, atheists, Christians, etc., will see this film because it inspires us to look at each other with compassion. It inspires us to want to choose to support a world where we embrace each other, not hate each other. It's amazing (and then again, maybe not so much) that many people fail to understand this movie and what might be its message as they also fail to understand the Bible and what might be its message: "Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who loves not, knows not God, for God is love." 1 John 4:7,8
