Went to see this film with my Mum as part of the Odeon's Senior Screen.
IMDB says: A man is chosen by his world's creator to undertake a momentous mission before an apocalyptic flood cleanses the world.
Starring Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind) as Noah, Jennifer Connelly (Blood Diamond, Hulk) as Naameh, this is the Hollywood version of the bible story. With some excellent CGI effects, the rock-formed watchers for example, and some fine acting, this comes alive on the big screen. Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast, Hugo) is spectacular as baddie Tubal-Cain, as is Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs, Thor) as Methusala the wise Grandfather and Emma Watson (Harry Potter, The Perks of Being a Wallflower) is convincing as Ila, as is Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower) as Ham and Douglas Booth (Romeo and Juliet, Worried about the Boy) as Shem.
The film has been banned in Egypt, Bahrain, Qatar and UAE and both Christian Bale and Michael Fassbender were offered the role of Noah, but declined due to scheduling conflicts. Bella Heathcote, Saoirse Ronan and Dakota Fanning were considered for the role of Ila.
This was a movie played out on a huge scale with a story so epic, but the two things it left me wondering when I left the theatre was what happened to Ham and was the Noah/Ila dynamic the first incidence of man's oppression of woman?
Tagline: The end of the world....is just the beginning. 6/10
