I'm not feeling it for Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah' but I'm mightily impressed by his realization of the ark. Trailers up to now have left me squirming in my seat but this featurette gets under the skin, and I find myself wondering how Noah and his family went about building the craft, how the ark manages at sea, and what life aboard such a vessel might have been like.
Thinking about it, I'm curious how Aronofsky handles how Noah and his family feel about being the last people alive. This would be central to the story and, if audiences find that plot element satisfying, 'Noah' may score. If not, word of mouth could sink this film.
It's easy to be dismissive of an Aronofsky project when you first hear about them. Few would think you could make a film about a pro wrestler or ballet dancer that people would find entertaining, or stand up to critical examination, but 'The Wrestler' and 'Black Swan' accomplished just that and, all things considered, I'm more hopeful about 'Noah'.
If reviews stand up I'll check this out. Until then, loving this preview.
