Long-planned dream project of director who previously dazzled with "Black Swan" sinks here under the sheer ambition and though it seems its special effects and bombastic visual style brought large audiences all over the world, at certain point you can't help but wonder what happened and how the movie with such cast just stumbles sideways into quite ridiculous direction.
Because Biblical story of Noah and his family escaping total destruction is basically very vague, director and script writer Ari Handel came with their own embellishments that combine all sorts of moralistic/religious/ecological questions. We understand that they wanted to cover a lot of different issues but come on, you start to squirm and wonder will this movie ever finish. It ends as a huge embarrassment for Russell Crowe and even talents of Emma Watson and Anthony Hopkins are wasted in this overlong, overblown catastrophe extravaganza.
