In Reply to: 'Noah': The Graphic Novel . . . posted by Billy Wonka on March 28, 2014 at 15:03:53:
Saw it tonite. And it's still sinking in so just some superficial observations. Civilization was portrayed to be a lot more technologically advanced than I would have expected. One early scene has Noah and co. encountering what appears to be ruins of a forge or oil refinery in the style of Mad Max. And the "watchers" and tubular Caine??? Could have done without them. Portraying Noah as troubled and tormented added an interesting twist. The entire story seemed to be layered on top of a lightly disguised environmentalist / conservationist message. I expect this will be problematic to both fundamentalists and political conservatives.The scene of Noah's retelling of the story of creation was especially fascinating. The narration was for the most part traditional but accompanying visuals were clearly a depiction of the "scientific" version complete with evolution. I saw not a hint of ID. I guess that scene is Rorschach like: we see what we want to see. Also says something about Hollywood.
Overall my initial impression is positive but I can understand why someone like Glen Beck trashed it. Certainly is going to be polarizing.
