Review of Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark (1999)
Complete Waste of Time
3 May 1999
When seeing this TV movie, one wonders if the writers even bothered to read the original story in the Bible. About the only thing the real story and this movie have in common is the name of the main character, Noah, and the fact that there was a flood and he built a big boat. Past that, the writers ignored all sorts of historical facts. Like the fact that Lot and the whole Sodom and Gomorrah story happened about 1000 years after the flood. Like one of the women was to be sacrificed in the temple of a religion that didn't exist at the time. Like the fact that Noah and those on board the Ark were the ONLY survivors. There were no pirates or travelling salesmen. Even aside from the historical inaccuracies, I was offended by the extremely poor dialogue and plotlines. NBC has been advertising this for months as a serious, epic drama. It was more like an attempt at being a Monty Python ripoff. And it was a very bad attempt at that. I am highly offended that NBC chose to waste broadcasting time on this lousy excuse for a movie.
