DVD Review - Noah

It's not the best Russell Crowe we've seen... but it's still pretty good!

How many of you know the "Noah's Arc" story from the Bible?

You know... God wants to punish mankind and so he tells Noah to build an arc, bla, bla, bla, white dove and redemption?! Well, same story here but with a bit more mythological fantasy and not your typical white beard nice little old Noah that you've probably read before.

This is a very good, very visual, great cast and highly CG (Computer Graphics) high budget movie. The story is compelling and interesting - of course, after all it's the Bible - but unfortunately the movie stretches a bit too much for too long for something that we already pretty much know the outcome.

I liked Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly's performance in this one and I thing that the movie gains more by their presence than by the (awesome) CG involved. It's a good sunday afternoon flick that might interest the whole family to take a look, if nothing else, to teach us a more humble way of being around others and also on Earth... But I'm not saying everyone will enjoy it!

A modest three out of five.
