I took my two good friends to watch this movie just because we have never seen a Noah’s Ark on the big screen before and wondered what it would look like. The movie was LOOOOOONNNGGG! It felt like the director didn’t want to waste all the lovely footage and kept every single thing he shot like the Battle of the Red Cliffs which became two movies in Asia. Long! Too long for a simple story. I have to agree with my friends. The director sure had a lot of imagination. Not only are there rock monsters called Watchers, the devolvement of which was totally biblically incorrect (SPOILER ALERT – HIGHLIGHT TO READ : The fallen angels were expelled because they followed Lucifer who rebelled, not because they wanted to help a human and therefore were condemned into rock monsters), their ending were unbiblical too. (SPOILER ALERT – HIGHLIGHT TO READ : Fallen angels do not get to be redeemed. They along with Lucifer get thrown into the lake of sulfur at the end of the day.)
And what’s with the family of 6 instead of 8? Groan. (SPOILER ALERT – HIGHLIGHT TO READ : Noah’s family of 8 went into the ark. Period. 3 sons and 3 daughters-in-laws and his wife. So all that wife seeking business is imagined.)
Don’t believe Methulselah having healing power. It was never mentioned in the bible. Nor was Cain, the first son of Adam, mentioned ever again after being sent away. Whether he lived that long or not, it’s doubtful. See chart of different interpretations of time of the patriachs here. But definitely, Cain was not in the ark. If he were, the bible would have said so. So don’t believe it.
I suggest everyone to read the bible chapters here before or after the movie to see how the director put in so much distortion into the bible story. Granted, it’s entertainment, but there are some scary concepts introduced too.
