Ok I'll chime in 10 years late on the one-star ratings and I won't go too much into the obvious Biblical inaccuracies that are to be expected of a movie featuring some A-list actors (c'mon did you really think they'd get it right? Same old Hollywood drivel). Now let's not be foolish and say that an agenda can be entirely stripped from a story for the sake of entertainment. We all know that's not what was intended. If they're gonna make an adventure movie, I have no idea why the heck else they'd piggyback it off of such a controversial source as the Bible if there's no agenda. So then for the sake of argument; Did (does) God need humans to save animals / the earth if he could make that many other miraculous things happen? If not, then why provide a way of escape for one family? Couldn't he just vaporize humans where they stand? The one great thing about this movie is that it exposes the ultimate environmentalist thought; the earth and all living things - except humans - are good and humans - and all things human - are a cancer that should be irradicated (I guess only leaving some elite few to guard what apparently can't protect itself). But as a side note, sin is in everything I think that's pretty clear (ever seen wild animals fight, or bugs destroy trees or songbirds pillage and destroy nests and nestlings of other songbirds?) And there really is only one way to redemption - for everything - and that's not through a nameless faceless and cold "creator" who messed up when he made mankind, and didn't see any of the calamity that we've made of ourselves coming, and it's also not through deifying the land and the animals that need (and will have!) redemption too. There really is a way. If you're able to read though, you've probably already heard about it and rejected it. One can always reconsider :) But if you were watching this movie to find the truth - which I doubt - then you'll be sorely disappointed. You're probably more like me - drawn in by the cool looking trailor but worried that they messed it up so checking the reviews... like I should have. Yep. They messed it up. Pretty spectacularly. So then to the point, as a movie, strictly entertainment speaking - yeah it was a bit dark and dismal for my taste and I'm not a big fan of too much soapy-type drama. But the small percentage of the movie that contained the CG'd animals and miracles was cool. That's the best I can say about it.
