Trivia:
Regarding the film's extensive use of visual effects, Darren Aronofsky said he and his crew "had to create an entire animal kingdom", using no real animals in the production but instead "slightly tweaked" versions of real creatures. Industrial Light and Magic said their work on the film represented "the most complicated rendering in the company's history". See more »

I have to admit, when I first heard about Paramount's intention to
reboot the whole "Noah" epic, I was a bit skeptical. Not because I
worried about them monkeying with scriptural accuracy (though that
played a part) but because the story of Noah does not lend itself to
the traditional Hollywood model. How do you shove a square peg into a
round hole without shaving off important Biblical truths? Many have
tried, all have failed.
Fortunately, skepticism gave way to relief as the story unfolded.
Aronofsky and Handel managed to accomplish the seemingly impossible -
an entertaining version of the Noah story. Was creative license taken?
Absolutely. Necessarily so.
This is a fun, action-packed, Biblical epic that manages to uphold the
important pillars of the Genesis tale. Highly recommended.
