Critic Reviews for Noah

All Critics (215) | Top Critics (46) | Fresh (165) | Rotten (50) | DVD (1)

In a single sequence, Aronofsky combines creationism, Darwinian evolution, original sin, the end of days, and radical environmentalism.

Full Review… | April 7, 2014
David Denby
New Yorker

For all the high-tech showmanship on display, this retelling of Noah and the Ark marks a serious effort to engage with the Old Testament as a literary text.

Full Review… | April 3, 2014
Ben Sachs
Chicago Reader

In some ways, Noah resembles one of those Kirk Cameron movies about the apocalypse, only with a better cast and more dazzling special effects.

Rock Transformers.

Full Review… | March 29, 2014
Keith Uhlich
Time Out New York

It's overlong and a times sluggish. The fights and battles, designed to give an epic fantasy feel to the movie, are grave miscalculations. And the overabundance of CGI often makes Noah look like a video game.

Full Review… | March 28, 2014
James Berardinelli
ReelViews

Darren Aronofsky's film about the Old Testament shipbuilder has been sparking controversy - but there's no denying that the Great Flood, digitized, is a pretty great flood.

Full Review… | March 28, 2014
Bob Mondello
NPR

Darren Aronofsky's Noah was the most exciting big-budget studio film of 2014. While comic book movies are all the rage, Aronofsky's Noah treats the great flood as the ultimate origin story: the origin of life as we know it.

Full Review… | December 15, 2014
Brian Formo
CraveOnline

The film sometimes plays like a Bible story filtered through the lens of a Snow White and the Huntsman -type re-imagining.

Full Review… | August 1, 2014
Scott Mendelson
Forbes

Noah isn't exactly the epic that bible-thumpers wished for, but Aronofsky's vision is masterful enough to create truly mesmerizing moments without being swept away by the murky waters of blockbuster boredom.

Full Review… | July 30, 2014
Matt Donato
We Got This Covered

This is an epic that could easily have gotten lost in spectacle, but Aronofsky has managed to balance things just right, making for a thrilling and touching cinematic experience.

Full Review… | July 28, 2014
Jeff Beck
Examiner.com

Aronofsky manages to transform a story, hokey on paper and even on reflection, into a spiritual flood-saga that's pretty damned immersive and elemental in its power.

Full Review… | July 2, 2014
Brian Gibson
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)

It isn't the changes to the base story that are bothersome. It's the bat-guano crazy embellishments that make little to no sense in the grand scheme of things that do.

Full Review… | June 15, 2014
Wesley Lovell
Cinema Sight

Aronofsky's signature grandiosity is too often at odds with -- and diminished by -- the familial melodrama he has created aboard the vessel.

Full Review… | May 21, 2014
Melissa Anderson
Artforum

Noah manages to be both reverent and action-conscious, but not strongly either one.

Full Review… | May 14, 2014
Mal Vincent
The Virginian-Pilot

It ranges far, wide and clumsily in expanding its slender source material, but Noah aches with aspiration, its sincerity and ambition virtually leaping off the screen.

Full Review… | April 28, 2014
John Anderson
America Magazine

It's ultimately clear that the movie could've lost half of its running time without sacrificing any of its important story and character beats...

Full Review… | April 27, 2014
David Nusair
Reel Film Reviews

It's certainly not the sometimes-whimsical Bible story that's told to so many children. Director Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah' is a drama about a tormented man determined to do God's bidding and about people who are ravaging the earth.

Full Review… | April 24, 2014
Linda Cook
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)

Aronofsky makes an intermittently arresting Bible movie

Full Review… | April 18, 2014
Robert Denerstein
Movie Habit

Aronofsky's grand, crazy vision is filled with more awe and reverence than a traditional snoozefest like Son of God, and, in its fun, flawed and chaotic way, Noah is a popcorn flick about the endless wonders of the universe and of the human soul.

Full Review… | April 16, 2014
Corey Hall
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

Darren Aronofsky upends convention-but stays true to the bible-with this controversial epic.

Full Review… | April 16, 2014
Alynda Wheat
People Magazine

Pro-vegan and anti-industrial messages aside... as (a) non-Biblical, alternative history version of the Great Flood, there's some interesting stuff going on here.

Full Review… | April 16, 2014
Kevin A. Ranson
MovieCrypt.com

A water-logged turkey...an epic disaster of truly biblical proportions...Bloated, gloomy, super self-serious and - worst of all - boring, the film is so dull and portentous it's likely to make atheists convert, just so they can pray to God to save them.

Full Review… | April 11, 2014
Jim Schembri

There is so much here that is wonderful and strange, my problems with the film are not much more than quibbles. ... I think Noah is Darren Aronofsky's Take Shelter.

Full Review… | April 11, 2014
Jeffrey Overstreet
Looking Closer

Add Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" to the list of Bible-themed film epics ranging from magnificent to stuffy to silly.

Full Review… | April 11, 2014
Jeffrey M. Anderson
San Francisco Examiner

An auteurist monument to monomania inspired by Judeo-Christian culture's most famous report of a divine reboot..

Full Review… | April 11, 2014
John Beifuss
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

A bold, trippy new interpretation of an old, old story, about miracles of varying size and shape, in which we still today might find some new angles of inspiration.

Audience Reviews for Noah

Overblown epic; grandiose filmmaking watered down by self-seriousness.

Game performances, amazing special effects but too cumbersome to get through.

The Gandiman
Tony Gandía

Super Reviewer

It has some glaring flaws, but overall, Noah is an enjoyable movie that is entertaining and thought-provoking. Aronofsky deftly blends his own unique interpretation of the story with the Biblical power and mysticism of the original. The film is a visual treat and features fantastic, powerful performances from Crowe and Watson.

Super Reviewer

Interesting take on what the world was like in darkness, when The Creator wouldn't answer man because man was corrupt. That The Creator wanted to end mankind--chilling but frankly not entirely unbelievable. I liked the Watchers--something, literally, out of the stone age. I thought Russell Crowe did a wonderful job as the man entrusted with the most horrible task imaginable--I've seen that kind of single-minded ruthlessness in the cause of supposed goodness: jeez, just look around the world today. I loved Ham and his conflict with his father. Highly highly recommend.
