dmz does the movies: Noah

Let me preface this by saying that Noah was not a movie I was eager to see or one that I would have paid money to see. But I did pay for a membership a MoMA and, through them, there was a ticket to see the movie with a Q-and-A with director Darren Aronofsky afterward. I figured I'd see the movie and then slip out before the Q-and-A because I didn't care that much.

Turns out I needed to slip out before the Q-and-A because my only question to the director would have been "Were you drunk?"

This movie is terrible. Really, really terrible. And not in the enjoyable Bad Movie way. Brotherhood of the Wolf is one of my all-time favorite flicks; I enjoy a good B movie. This is not a good B movie. This is a movie with an A-list cast, an A-list director, and the CGI budget of Avatar that somehow turned out to be what would happen if Tommy Wiseau decided to rewrite the screenplays of the Lord of the Rings movies after falling asleep watching Waterworld.
