In the Biblical story from Genesis, God floods the world as Noah rescues his family and the animals in a gigantic ark. Written by Michael "Rabbit" Hutchison <rabhutch@spacestar.net>
It must take a lot of work to make a film that is boring, offensive and wasteful at the same time. Noah's Ark 1999 was a colossal missed opportunity to create a classic film that millions could enjoy for years to come. Instead they permitted a team of film makers to create a wasteful farce that appeals to few. Think of the millions probably invested in a miniseries like Noah's Ark that could have been better spent on some worthy charitable cause.
Alternately, the film makers could have made a faithful adaptation of an amazing story that does not need any doctoring-up to work as a film. Had they done so, they would have found sympathetic and appreciative audiences around the world and made some money on video sales.
The producers ignored a basic tenet of business: know your market. The outpouring of disappointment on these internet pages indicates that they did "miss the boat" like those who did not follow Noah (in the original story, anyway) and ignored their audience. A very large audience is still there for a faithful and memorable modern production of the story of Noah's Ark.
