My adult son rather enjoyed it, but I didn't one bit and kept fast forwarding. Regarding the acting - very ordinary, no drama, a walk in the park for Noah faced with such odds. Was pathetic.
Where were the animals? The legend of Noah is known around Turkey and Mount Ararat, as well as in the Jewish bible (old testament) and still celebrated each year eating a Noah's soup. Geologists and archaeologists are convinced that this actually happened when the Black Sea formally separated from the fresh water lake below it by a land bridge and Mediterranean, broke and allowed water to pour through the Dardanelles and around the Pillars of Hercules. Obviously if people (the world to them on low ground would have known) were affected. This happened around 6,000 years ago after the ice began to melt and flooded low lying regions and the sea levels started to reach what they are today. The continent of Europe was separated from Great Britain. PNG and Tasmania from mainland Australia, etc.
But really Russell your lay back acting didn't gel with me. Hence the score of 4. Anthony Hopkins playing grandfather? The mind is still boggling.
But the special effects credits went on and on. Personally it looked like something from the Trilogy of the ring. Fallen angels? Looked like something out of Transformers. I much preferred other versions like John Houston's The Bible. This was too surreal for me, thanks.
