Noah

139 minutes

PG-13
Director: Darren Aronofsky

For anyone who thinks they know the story of Noah, think again.  Director Darren Aronofsky brings his own interpretation of the biblical story to the big screen in this graphically stunning film.
The perfect word to describe Darren Aronofosky’s “Noah” is bizarre. Deviating wildly from being biblically accurate, viewers are shown a story that includes stone giants, an ark stowaway, and magical glowing rocks called “zohar” that can produce light and even confirm pregnancy.
Yes, there are some strange scenes in this movie that may leave viewers wondering what exactly they just watched. “Noah” isn’t lacking on talent; the film stars well-known actors and actresses such as Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Hopkins.
From the film’s odd prophetic dreams, and terrifying kindly stone giants, this telling of Noah is definitely not the one taught in Sunday school.
