In a single sequence, Aronofsky combines creationism, Darwinian evolution, original sin, the end of days, and radical environmentalism. Apr 7, 2014 | Full Review…

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. Apr 3, 2014 | Full Review…

In some ways, Noah resembles one of those Kirk Cameron movies about the apocalypse, only with a better cast and more dazzling special effects. Mar 29, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

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. Mar 28, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A cinematic enigma -- both maddening and magnificent... "Noah" requires a leap of faith, but if you are willing to take a chance it is a film that will challenge and impress. Jan 31, 2019 | Full Review…

Throw in some plot holes that left me annoyed, and it was a rough way to spend two hours and 18 minutes. Jan 29, 2019 | Full Review…

Noah is a worthy, ambitious mess of a movie, and as a deeply personal new take on an old tale, it's the kind of mess we could use a bit more often from Hollywood. Dec 21, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

Once the film has blown it's CGI load, it turns into a kitchen sink drama, an episode of Eastenders as directed by Mike Leigh. Dec 11, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

However, it is a vessel of work - much like Noah's dependable yet claustrophobic Ark - that can hold its share against rough waters while finding a point of tranquility in its cautionary life lessons of human misguidance and mischievousness. Nov 10, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Darren Aronofsky's take on the story of Noah's Ark intuitively imagines the whole saga within the grammar of a more familiar fantasy-action, Lord of the Rings-style universe. Nov 7, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A multilayered parable that defies us to consider the implications of serving the demands of a cruel, manipulative, petty and sadistic Creator (entity and faith) instead of facing Him to follow our hearts - which is something that unfortunately happens even today with many religious people.
Super Reviewer
Overblown epic; grandiose filmmaking watered down by self-seriousness. Game performances, amazing special effects but too cumbersome to get through.
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.
An impressive visual achievement but the script sinks on ice.
