The Biblical epic gained the respect of many film critics who gave positive Noah movie reviews. New Regency and Paramount's Bible-based movie earned an estimated $1.6 million at late-night shows in the United States as reported by The Variety. The film is also forecasted to earn between $30 million and $40 million for the opening weekend in the country.
Doing a film about famous Biblical characters is always a huge risk and often creates controversy among religious groups. Noah is one of the most known characters in the Bible and he even has three chapters in the book of Genesis. Many children know Noah as the person, who built the huge ark and saved the animals, but there's more to this man and that's what filmmaker Darren Aronofsky wanted us to see.
The Brooklyn-born director even wrote an award-winning poem about the ark of Noah when he was just 13-years old, which means that he has been inspired by this Biblical character ever since he was little. Darren Aronofsky has given us some of the most visually stimulating films in the past including Requiem for a Dream, Pi, and Black Swan. That's why it isn't surprising that most of the Noah movie reviews will turn out to be good.
Russell Crowe stars as Noah in the Darren Aronofsky film together with other big names in Hollywood including Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, and Anthony Hopkins. Let's find out what the film critics has to say in our roundup of Noah movie reviews:
Robbie Collin (The Telegraph): "Spectacular and surprising." He also said, "It is a sharp, ambitious film that's far more than a straightforward re-telling of the biblical tale."
Drew McWeeny (HitFix): "Noah is not just one of the most ambitious films I've seen this year, it's one of the most ambitious films I've ever seen. It's a movie that is spilling over with ideas and images and emotional explorations of the metaphysical."
Jordan Hoffman (Screen Crush): "This film's inscrutable oddness and the willingness to take chances brought me to a place that could not have predicted."
David Blaustein (Good Morning America): "Noah is not about the animals. It's a deft and daring exploration of Noah and his family. Aronofsky presents it as a harrowing, gut-twisting tale that's as emotionally moving as it is suspenseful and exciting."
