I was interested to see that commentator Glenn Beck has now seen the movie, and his comments about how the movie represents Noah are very similar to what I have written and also corresponds with the conclusions of the AiG staff member who watched the movie: “I always thought of Noah as more of a nice, gentle guy, prophet of God … and less of the homicidal maniac that Paramount found in the Bible,” Beck said. “More of the man [that] loves God, and less of him trying to break down the doors inside the ark to kill his whole family.” Beck said the movie could have aptly been named the “Babylonian Chainsaw Massacre,” based on how Noah was “running around, not kidding, trying to kill his whole family.” Beck added that Noah’s rationale was something along the lines of: “People are evil. And God only wanted animals on the ark. And so we are all going to kill each other. And I am going to be first – I will kill all of you. Then you are going to kill me, then we will bury people once we get down on the ground again, then you are just going to have to kill yourself. I will trust you on that.” “It treats a prophet of God like a lunatic,” Beck said simply. “There’s no redeeming value in Noah, none. He hates people. I’m sorry. No prophet of God hates people … He tries to kill his own family. To me, a prophet receives direct communication from God, and Noah is wrong about everything.”” (theblaze/stories/2014/03/24/beck-saw-noah-over-the-weekend-and-hes-calling-it-the-babylonian-chainsaw-massacre/ ) The movie may have many spectacular special effects, but it is very unbiblical, and represents a great reverent man of God as an angry, drunken over-the-top environmentalist, not the righteous man honored in Hebrews 11:7
