Noah

Movie Rating: Geoffrey Crété

A family man begins to build an enormous arc.

On an arid Earth, empty of all hope, mankind is doomed to survive after turning its back on God. In the middle of a desolate countryside, Noah, the last in a forgotten line, has a vision of an apocalypse that will destroy all life, to be followed by rebirth. With his wife, three sons and an adopted daughter, he begins to build an enormous arc. But as the flood approaches, Noah has to deal with others who threaten him and his family.

The complex production that was The Fountain obviously didn’t traumatize Darren Aronofsky. Put back on course with the phenomenal success of Black Swan, he has realized a childhood dream: to take on the story of Noah with an ambitious super-production. His bet has paid off. This epic film has an astonishing strength, with awe-inspiring scenes and especially a fascinating main character who is tormented by his faith and his weaknesses. All that’s left is to try and forget shaky performances by Jennifer Connelly and Emma Watson, the liberties taken with the source material and a few irregularities in the directing.

It's bad

Far from the best of Aronofsky's movies, too long and in some parts a little boring. But still very interesting mixture of adventure and philosophy, with intriguing characters, great special effects and excellent music.
