This movie confuses me. (Noah review)

Noah is one of those movies that seems like it doesn't exist. But then you go and sit down in the theater and watch it, and you can see that it exists. I don't know its just one of those movies for me. Anyway lets get this over with.

The Plot:

Its the story of Noah from the Bible. Except there are Rock monsters, and Noah thinks that the human race should die off.

The Movie:

This is a really weird movie. As I mentioned above there are Rock monsters, I would be more weirded out by this except they're called the Watchers, and the Watchers are actually mentioned in the Bible. They're pretty cool looking.

I like they way that they are explained, because it makes sense. They are fallen angels, and when they hit the surface of the earth there fire... spirit... bodies get covered with heated earth, that hards and turns them into Rock monsters.

Russell Crowe as Noah is good, but I mean come on he's Russell Crowe. I like this internal conflict he has; he thinks that "The Creator" wants all humans to die off because he sends the flood. So when their journey on the arch ends he wants to have his family die. It was interesting. Although this is probably why the Christian community didn't really like this movie.

Emma Watson was good.

 Logan Lerman was good.

 Anthony Hopkins was good.

 Everyone was good. The only stand out performance is the bad guy. Ray Winstone as Tubal-cain is just flat out awesome in his role. You can tell that this guys is evil, even when he isn't doing anything. You feel kind of uneasy when ever he is in the scene too.

One thing I have to mention is how brutal the movie is towards animals. While know animals where harmed during the making of Noah, it's like they want you to think that they were.

The Music and Presentation:

I don't remember the music in this movie at all, so I can't really comment on it at all. Maybe it wasn't that memorable, and thats why it didn't stick with me.

Presentation is pretty awesome in this movie. For the first 40 minutes of the movie it's like your in this waste land. There is nothing.

 Then they plant a seed from the garden of Eden, and this giant, lush, beautiful forest grows up around them. It is a really nice contrast.

I also really like how terrible it looks in Tubal-cains camp. It's definitely somewhere you wouldn't want to be.

There are a few scenes where Noah has these visions, and they are really creepy to watch.

The Verdict and Final Thoughts:

This movie is really weird. I liked it, but it confused me. I can see why some people didn't like it. But it was really awesome to watch, and it kept me entertained for over two hours. So with all this in mind I give Noah 7 out of 10 stars. "It's fun to watch once or twice."

Hey look Crowe is confused too!
