Setting aside belief in any religion and whether the movie's script had anything that adhered to those beleifs, I expected it "should" be epic. It clearly was not. So many distractions that take you out of the story, like out dated CGI, clothing and hair styles which seemed out of place, character reactions that occasionally seem to come from nowhere, and nearly an emotionless performance from Russell Crowe. Even the "great flood" scene was underwhelming. Do not expect to see a deeply moving, soul searching event here, nor should you put this in a class of the disaster films as the tension is severely lacking.
Small bright spots include a classy and wonderful turn of Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins) and though I believe the part was over-written, Emma Watson carried her part well.
