Review:
Noah fills the gaps from the source material with fantastical elements creating a sprawling story. The broad focus hampers character development as I never care about any of the characters. This isn't one man's crazy journey despite the odds,  this is all about the spectacle. Movies change the source material all the time, that doesn't bother me. The story is underdeveloped, relying too heavily on the visuals. Many scenes are too dark to see anything. What's the point of that? If it was trying to create mood, it didn't work.

The characters are present just to fill time between CGI golems and the CGI flood. The story is underdeveloped, and there are serious gaps in the character's logic.

This movie sucks!
