Why


Why was this even produced? It's such a sacriligious insult to the bible.
Enough Said.

Yup it was one of the worst film ever. They turn Lot into a freaking pirate trying to destroy the Ark, even though Lot and Noah existed in two different time periods in the bible and no one else survived except noah and his family after the deluge.

"What was so inaccurate?" -???

You're kidding, right?

This blasphemous mockery would have more GOOFS listed than every film on the IMDB combined if you were to sit down and post them all.

My personal favorites is giving Noah's wife a name. As any student knows Noah's wife is one of the five great Nameless Women in the Bible.

So what? Is Noah supposed to address her as "nameless woman 1 of 5" like she's Borg just because whoever wrote the bible didn't think it was worth mentioning? She obviously had a name.

My biggest beef is that they didn't show all the dinosaurs being loaded on the ark. The fossil record clearly shows they have the breath of life in them, so it's pretty unbiblical to pretend they didn't get tickets.

I was hoping they'd show the kangaroos jumping from island to island on their way to back to Australia, carrying koalas on their backs and platypuses in their pouches, but I realize the movie was already pretty long, so I understand why they ended it where they did.

Most previous filmmakers have discreetly had Noah refer to her as "Wife" and she refer to him as "Husband" -very formal to modern ears, but but quite proper and rather elegant.

Let's also don't forget that Lincoln more often than not referred to his wife as "Mother," and to this day in some areas closes sisters refer to each other as "Sister."

I truly hope you're just joking, and if not, PLEASE don't ever breed.

I am glad you warned me. I saw the character in the credits and thought this was a mini-series! There is a film from the past (the 70s?) that covers Adam and Eve till at least the desctruction of Sodom and the birth of Isaac. It was a star studded cast with the voice of "Charlie's Angels" playing several parts and the guy who played "Patton" was Abraham. It stuck more to the actual; Bible but was still pretty weak.

Anybody who had anything to do with putting this movie on the screen, I don't even want to know where their head was. I watched the movie up until that guy showed up on the water trying to sell pots and pans. That's where they lost me, for good. I can't say anything more about it, because I never saw the rest of it.

reply

I know. Plus the acting was so s**t. I have never seen so crappy acting. Plus it looked so fake. How could great actors such as Jon Voit and Mary Steenburgen be in such crap.

reply

I totally agree, it was bull *beep* , it had nothing to do with the story of the bible and the 2 storys they mixxed up were 1200 years apart!

To the producer's credit, they followed each commercial break during the first airing with a disclaimer stating the film was a "creative montage of well-known characters and in no way interpretes the Bible." In this way, the producers were attempting to avert the sort of complaints that one finds on this thread.

reply

It was a comedy, nothing else!!! I dont know if that was their intention or not, but half the things you see, well I figured maybe the Farrely brothers had something to do with it.

reply

See, I had no idea. That explains it, a little. When the movie was shown on TV, I never heard about it, so never saw it, or the disclaimers.
I just bought it on DVD a month ago or so, when I first discovered it.

reply

Lol, go get your money back.. well if you lost your sales slip there's always the pawn shop.

Ouch! I borrowed it from the library and still felt cheated.

I can think of one only reason; to light up people! I do categorize this movie in Comedy genere, it's spoof of Noah story where it does a fairly good job. There are true laughers.

1. The face of Noah is the funnies all around, he looks like a true mental retard with an ever lasting surprise on his face on simplest of things. Never Leslie Nielsen could look this dumb. After an hour I was laughing every time they were showing his face he is more like Forrest Gump

2. Funnier than that is the God himself, they could not put someone to play his role but you hear the voice of someone who is in deep trouble with himslef making any decision and he is always in doubt if he is right or wrong, it takes him ages to come to a conclusion and he is so sorry for the consequences .

3. Noah son's are real source of delightment, they are some capable Indy type guyes rescuing girls but they find hard time hiding in that building (oh I mean ship!) and sleep with them because their mother is so jealous to those girls sleeping with hot horny men.

4. Noah wife is such a hillarious thing!!! her sole problem is getting too horny watching her sons screwing their girlfriends and she constinuously blames Noah not to take care of her HORMONE rushes!!! what a scinetist thousands of years ago. How funny she gets horny looking at apes and monkeys I was dead with laugher

5. The God is in trouble once more (he is always in trouble in this movie) he left one man pedalling a boat trying to sell things to people abord ships maybe!!! he comes and sells some items to Noah family then waves bye bye bye bye and pedals and leaves, the idea of this geepsy sea traveler is really ingenious and his pedal boat at that time is genius. Everybody in this movie is more sharp than God and Noah, he managed to build an impossible to sail building!! (ehem sorry ship!!!!) while he knew what's gonna happen this man managed such a technology in no time.

6. Those sea pirates are amazing, they only lacked cannons onboard and an skelton on their sails.

7. The animal scenes are wonderful, mostly pasted from some other animal life footage and pictures of them entering the ship is amazing, it seems they are having much fun entering the ship once and getting out from some hidden door as we know there were only a pair of each kind, you see cattles of them running into ship and so many times.

8. Last but not least is the ship itself. This movie proves James Cameron was an idiot making a model of Titanic, just attach some wood boards to a theatre wall and move the camera in from of it. and water ? ah yes water, sea! the director is wise enough to show you some bucket of water in front of camera so that building looks like a ship, God funny is the entrance to the ship, the ramp that animals get into. It's built like the ramp of a building, some only 30 - 50 centimeters from the ground when the ship in on land, when it goes into water it's again on same level, this magic ship lies flat on water, not even a centimeter into water, that's maybe God Magic!

9. Every piece of Fx is gret fun, you would laugh at water splashed from pipes and those fire balls, they are excellent crap! The Noah has great fun watching them.

10. The stupidity of people! it takes some good couple days before the water level comes up, people are sinking yet they see a building (Noah ship) so close, they are so proud and stay on trees and no one, I mean no one even comes close. it's like a private party for Noah and his hero sons.

More can be said, I have seen it two years ago and I still laugh when I remember some parts. This is great achievement, mocking all holey books I don't know why they did it but it's against Bible, Against Quran as far as I know.
