Review of Noah

Noah (2014)
6/10
Weirdly incoherent but good despite this
12 July 2020
Fantasy based very loosely around the story of Noah and the flood from the bible. It's rather a strange mix of biblical story, morality tale, character play and fantasy action movie. Russell Crowe and the other actors generally do a great job, but I feel were let down by the movie's major flaw - it's incoherence. There are too many competing different vibes- littered with alternately clumsy or cheesy moments. So the experience is schizophrenic. Had they picked just one thematic type and stuck with it, it may have been much better, even great.. Nonetheless, if you go with it, it's very entertaining - even profound (when it's not being absurd). This may be a very different movie to the one that you're expecting. Worth a watch. but watch without preconceptions!
