SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

fcwaggoner-101-62314 Not true to the Biblical account. The movie totally missed the main part of the story ( i.e. the epic flood, 40 days of rain etc etc) while rewriting the story to include the saving of many people outside Noah's family. Total disappointment.

Inaxsesable While the film quality of the film was OK this was clearly not the Christian version of the Film. I did not even know that Islam and Hindi faiths had their own version of Noah's ark with some pretty substantial deviations. This is not quite as much of a heresy as Russle Crowe's version but it is still an awfully big departure.

dan1213 I feel like this TV movie could have been condensed into 60 Minutes as the middle section felt like it dragged on just a bit too much and i found the end not very satisfying, as someone said in the comments below, 'blink and you'll miss it' has never been so true with regards to the flood, some heavy rain followed by a cut back to show the Earth from space followed by them walking on dry land again, i found that very anti climactic.It features a mish-mash of different accents and ethnicities, i understand this is the 21st century but as this drama was set so long ago i feel the BBC didn't need to be so politically correct as it takes you out of your suspension of disbelief.They tried hard to give the characters some back story in a vain attempt the make us care about their fate, and i wouldn't say it failed completely, David Threlfall put in a great performance as did his wife but their children didn't have any individuality or personalities, they were all very wooden and seemed to be reading from a script quite obviously.They were quite cheap on the effects like the storm itself and the boat didn't look particularly durable but then again this isn't a blockbuster movie, if you're willing to overlook that and the mixture of characters and accents then you'll find it to be watchable if not memorable.

Nathaniel Fox While I will agree with the other reviews on the page and say that it came to an abrupt end and in that sense did it injustice, and also that there where a few things added that weren't biblical like a fourth son, or like other people getting on the boat, or even in one spot the angel didn't add all the things that the bible said the Lord said that the Ark must have, but to me that wasn't the point of the story.You can say that this movie shouldn't be watched because of the unbiblical characteristics, but I think it gives Noah a great human face and one that we can all really get on board with. (excuse the pun.) The 4th boy is no where in the bible but it allows us Christians to first see how a father should love through Noah, but then how even someone raised in the best possible environment can choose wrongly and even though that person choose wrongly they should be loved and given a second chance. The movie shows in an extreme way that if you truly love them you must let them go and fail for themselves and simply pray that the Lord will mend their heart. That may take a flood in a sense, where they fill like they are drowning. Then also I think it shows a great image of how people can change and there are no singular chosen people, but a collective chosen humanity. When Noah first goes to spread the news that God will flood the Earth they rejected him, but before the flood a few choose to follow God and believe in his Prophet. The bible says nothing about anyone else other then Noah his wife and his sons and their wives getting on the boat, but once again I think this serves greatly as first people can change, but also the path is narrow. If anything I can relate the difference in this movie to the Oratorios of old. Composers would add in a few things, but it still portrayed a beautiful image of Christ and God ( I mean just look at Handels Messiah even that, as biblical as it is, has minor word adaptations to fit.Leaving the unbiblical, over all this movie is a really great movie and almost had me in tears when the Mother talked about how Noah had unquestionably loved all of his sons. It is a really good movie and even with the few not mentioned in the bible things I would completely suggest watching it. I will say the ending is to short for my taste, but honestly how much can you do with a person stuck on a boat for 40 days? I mean I just look at the secular Noah made in 2014 it was completely unbiblical and had me praying for an end to the continuous ocean voyage. Even with out the unbiblicalness I would never suggest that movie to anyone and in fact advise them not to watch it. My point in all that being. Who really wants to see a man and his family on a boat for 40 days keeping up animals? Exactly. I would have liked to see more after the flood but once again that would really just be adding on to the bible. In the end it is a great movie with a great moral behind it and great images of what a Godly family and what a Christian should be in general. Loving.
