Primeval story-telling meets latest big budget Hollywood CGI extravaganza in Darren Aronofsky’s NOAH, which recasts the Biblical-Babylonian myth in the mould of Peter Jackson’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS – though adding Aronofsky’s trademark exploration of the psychopathic toll that the experience would have had on the protagonist (played by a grizzledly intense Russell Crowe). Ambitiously dives headlong into themes of good vs. evil, human depravity, environmentalism, family ties, and of course, mass catastrophic extinction by drowning. Seriously entertaining.
