Finding Noah

Dove Review

“Finding Noah” is an exciting journey to the top of Mount Ararat. Several explorers, including a few pastors, make the difficult journey to the summit to drill and see if they can find pitch-like substance, or even wood, from the ark. The documentary chronicles the explorers’ hopes, dreams and disappointments, as they deal with difficult weather. The film weaves archived footage into the story, highlighting past attempts and discoveries.

Pastor Bruce Hall, a forensics expert in addition to being a minister, speaks with his family via computer before making the trek and acknowledges that the explorers don’t know if they will return from such a tumultuous journey. A father and son, Bill and Will Hughes, also make the trip, and Will states he has no doubt in his mind that this search should happen.

The documentary makes good use of various comments from those involved in the climb, animated short videos, archive footage, and the actual drilling to determine if the explorers find anything there. Do they find something? The viewer will have to watch to see but, as one of the travelers says, the journey itself and the discoveries the explorers make about one another and about themselves are what count. For, as a few of them confess, they feel closer to God because of this journey. We are pleased to award this film our Faith Friendly Seal for ages 12-plus. This documentary is a good mystery, as well as an exploration film!

Dove Rating Details

A few people who were hurt while climbing Mt. Ararat, both with blood on their faces and one man with blood on his leg; an animation of a bloody spot when a blood oath is mentioned.

Man smokes cigarette.

A comment about a debate between evolution and creationism; the difficulties of dealing with the altitude, different food, and stormy weather.

Review by Tallulah Belle ★★½

Sigh. Memories from the 70s of In Search of Noah's Ark. This touches on it but even the majestic shots from the mountaintop could not succeed in warming my heart to this documentary. It reminded me more of a modern day home movie. Going from reality, to majesty, to drone shots, interspersed with bit from the team. Some interesting info and man versus nature.

Rick D

Review by Rick D ★★½

A decent documentary on finding Noah's Ark when it didn't stray into the spiritual.

Some good opening history on the ark.

Ararat is beautiful.

A lot of nastiness in this region.

Separating fact from fiction is so difficult as everyone wants to profit from the ark.

The actual expedition seemed a touch too haphazard, as I am assuming these expeditions cost a fortune.

Review by Y O / M A M A ★★

i struggle to connect w any of the people featured. the cognitive dissonance is on full display. some cringey arrogance sprinkled in.

confused and optimistic men having a treasure hunt adventure at a sleep away camp where they never find the treasure but come back every year.

makes me wonder what things i do to validate my own views? and in that aspect it was an okay documentary.

finding noah movie review

Now streaming on:

"Noah" is a bizarre movie. 

It's a modern blockbuster, chock full of the visual and aural and narrative tics we expect from modern blockbusters: flash-cut nightmares and hallucinations, prophecies and old wise men, predictions of apocalypse and a savior's rise, computer-generated monsters with galumphing feet and deep voices, brawny men punching and stabbing each other, and crowd scenes and floods and circling aerial views of enormous structures being built,  scored to tom-toms and men chanting and women wailing. 

But wait: this is not the latest Marvel Comics epic. Nor is it a standard-issue messianic sci-fi film along the lines of " Star Wars " or " The Matrix ."  "Noah" is more of a surrealist nightmare disaster picture fused to a parable of human greed and compassion, all based on the bestselling book of all time, the Bible, mainly the Book of Genesis. 

More specifically, "Noah" is writer-director Darren Aronofksy's interpretation of the story of Noah and the flood. He's made a few changes. 

Okay, more than a few. Way more. This is the Book of Genesis after a page one rewrite. 

Among other things, Aronofsky has stirred in ideas from earlier film versions of Noah's story, plus bits from other religions and mythologies, including the Kabbalah, pre-Christian paganism and, it would appear, J.R.R. Tolkien and "The Neverending Story." And he's worked in what comic books or long-form TV watchers would term "callbacks" to earlier parts of the Old Testament, including the slaying of Abel by his brother Cain, the death of Noah's father Lamech, and Adam and Eve's ejection from the Garden of Eden. The film's most visually inventive sequence is an ellipsis in the main narrative: a self-contained, time lapse retelling of the birth of the universe—essentially a Big Bang story that could be dropped right into either version of the great science show "Cosmos." And of course, the international cast speaks with English accents, or tries to, English accents being Hollywood's way of conveying "foreignness" or "antiquity" without making ticket buyers read subtitles. All the actors have elegantly sculpted eyebrows and gorgeous hair, particularly Russell Crowe 's Noah, who in one scene sports a teased-up 'do that makes him look like a beefy version of Christopher Walken in "The King of New York." 

Noah is still the anchor of this partly-waterborne epic. But in this version he is more of an action hero. When the flood waters rise, he changes again, becoming an antihero, and a menace to his own family; their ranks include Noah's wife wife Naameh ( Jennifer Connelly ), his sons Shem ( Douglas Booth ), Ham ( Logan Lerman ) and Japheth (Leo McHugh Carroll) and Shem’s wife-to-be Ila ( Emma Watson ). The latter was adopted by Noah as an infant. Much is made of the inferiority complex Ila suffers because of her infertility. She has a supernatural scar on her stomach and cannot bear children. Or so we're told.  

Ila's infertility proves important later, when she ends up in the belly of a 300x50x30 cubit ark alongside the birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects under her adoptive daddy's protection. Before the flood, God spoke to Noah, not in a voice but through a series of mysterious dreams that connect the events of Genesis 6-9 with earlier sections. It goes like this: Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden after Eve fell prey to the serpent's charms and ate the forbidden fruit (from a tree that looks very much like the Tree of Life in Aronofsky's " The Fountain "). The descendants of Cain and Abel waged war against each other. The descendants of Cain allied themselves with the The Watchers, a race of fallen angels or seraphim who were encrusted by hardened magma created when they fell from Heaven to earth like shooting stars and smashed craters in the ground; these creatures now lumber across the landscape like Transformers, or like the Ents as visualized in Peter Jackson's "Rings" movies, grumbling and roaring and making pronouncements in the heavily-filtered voices of Nick Nolte and Frank Langella (who were probably told they had gravel voices at various points during their lives, but never imagined they'd be put to use in quite this way). The Watchers are big and scary, and at first they seem as though they'll be obstacles to Noah's mission, but they soon have a change of heart and end up helping Noah and his family build the Ark to beat the flood. But it's not all hearts and flowers after that, because Noah's gotten it into his head that only the animals should survive—that after the flood he will have to kill his wife and children and himself, to prevent sinful humanity from angering The Creator again.

And it's here that things take a turn toward modern-day allegory. As Time's Richard Corliss  points out in an excellent long analysis of "Noah," the last "adaptation with anything like Aronofsky’s sociopolitical seriousness was the  1928 silent film  Noah’s Ark , which compares the flood ('A deluge of water drowning a world of lust') to World War I ('A deluge of blood drowning a world of hate!')." 

Aronofsky's film seems to have the same aims but different concerns. "Noah" ties God's wrath to the indiscriminate despoiling of the land and the slaughter of earth's animal population by greedy and hungry humans. (Noah and his family are vegetarians and view the consumption of meat as a sin against God, referred to here only as "the Creator.") The deluge, vividly described by Noah as "the waters of the earth meeting the waters of the sky," is depicted as kind of a nautical version of a panini press that sandwiches the earth's creatures between slices of roaring water and crushes the life out of them. In this Biblical epic, water doesn't just rain down and creep up toward the Ark, it gurgles up from the soil, the cracked earth filling up like blood welling in wounds. Sometimes it erupts with geyser-like force. An aerial view of the flood spreading across the land evokes cancer spreading. A spectacular pull-back from the endangered planet shows the atmosphere dotted with dozens of hurricane cloud-whorls. 

Aronofsky has also added an action film subplot bulked up with obsessive antihero craziness and daddy issues. He's inserted the chieftain of Cain's descendants, Tubal-Cain, described in Genesis as “the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron," into the story. The character is a warrior-despot enemy of Noah's and (intriguingly) a dark mirror of Noah's gravest flaws and worst impulses. As inhabited by Ray Winstone , who plays this sort of raging bull character better than anybody, Tubal-Cain is a creature of pure appetite, and super-macho. The dude put the patriarch in "patriarchal." He's all privilege, all entitlement; he thinks everyone and everything (including life itself) exists for his sake. He thinks Noah's concern about the rape of nature is just a bunch of girly-man whining, stopping just short of calling him a hippie or a tree-hugger. He is determined to take over the Ark and fill it with his own tribe, or barring that, to get on board himself, to survive the flood he once dismissed as false prophecy. 

Get on board he does, and once Tubal-Cain and Noah are trapped within the same space: Tubal-Cain peeling off the dissatisfied members of the clan and working them, the way the serpent worked Eve; Noah losing his grip on sanity and goodness and turning into a mad sea captain. Suddenly it's a haunted-house psychodrama, with two bad daddies terrorizing women and children in the bowels of a waterborne Hotel Overlook. As Noah becomes more unhinged, he starts to physically resemble Tubal-Cain. By the time the two men trade blows, Noah isn't just fighting a murderous stowaway, he's fighting to suppress he own worst impulses.

This is, as you've gathered, an immense, weird, ungainly, often laughably overwrought and silly movie, an amalgamation of elements from various literary and cinematic forebears. Some elements fuse beautifully and others seem to repel each other; still others float onscreen in isolation, like bits of wreckage carried along by floodwater. Aronofsky will rightly be criticized for adding a lot of images and notions that make Noah's story less, rather than more, special—elements you can't escape at movie theaters because every modern fantasy and sci-fi film and disaster picture seems to have been imagined by the same screenwriting hive-mind, and envisioned by the same boring CGI software. The Watchers with their clomping feet; the early scenes of tribal combat and "You killed my daddy!" emoting; the scenes between Noah and his aged grandfather Methuselah ( Anthony Hopkins ) that turn the latter into sort of a Biblical equivalent of Yoda or E.T.; Noah and Tubal-Cain whaling on each other in the belly of the ark: you've seen it all in recent years, over and over, in all manner of Hollywood blockbuster. 

And yet there's still a ferocious originality to "Noah." Despite its assemblage of borrowed and stolen and re-imagined pieces, you have never seen anything quite like it. It's a disaster movie with environmentalist overtones and CGI rock-beasts and animals and apocalyptic events, and musings on the primal roles of the father and the mother, and the parents' desire to control their uncontrollable children, and all of this is periodically interrupted by flash-cuts of the serpent in the garden, and a glowing hand picking forbidden fruit, and Cain bashing Abel's brains in silhouette. Aronofsky's "cubits" are actual cubes: the finished Ark is comprised of blocks, and when it bobs on brackish waves it looks like a giant wooden Lego brick. Sometimes Aronofsky puts everything else on hold so that Ray Winstone can deliver a monologue about why man is not just entitled but obligated to kill and eat animals and use the land however he sees fit, or so that Russell Crowe can tell the story of the Big Bang by candlelight or sing an infant to sleep in a quieter version of his Inspector Javert voice from "Les Miserables."  

Throughout the movie's running time, a word kept flashing in my head: "fervor." Aronofsky is a fervent filmmaker. He always has been, from his debut feature " Pi " onward. Many aspects of "Noah" feel like an organic continuation of themes and elements that have obsessed him for the past fifteen years: husbands and wives and fathers and mothers and sons and daughters protecting, dominating, excluding and terrorizing each other; the alluring power of obsession, be it for drugs (" Requiem for a Dream "), romantic nostalgia and denial of death's finality ("The Fountain") or artistic ambition  (" Black Swan "); the intrusion of supernatural or mythical or uncanny events into "normal" life; the notion that sanity and rationality are fragile mental states that can be easily shattered by trauma or disaster. 

If I had to compare "Noah" to any previous Biblical movies, I'd go with Mel Gibson's " The Passion of the Christ " and Martin Scorsese's " The Last Temptation of Christ ," not because the stories are similar (obviously they aren't; Old Testament vs. New) but because, even when you're confused or disgusted or bored, you still feel the director's mad passion radiating from the screen. Aronofsky has made a major, perhaps catastrophic tactical error, in that we can always feel his obsessive certainty but we can't quite translate it into our own terms, as we should be able to do with any fable or cautionary tale that's meant to illuminate or instruct. What's onscreen often feels more like a visual transcript of one man's fantasy or nightmare, with all the baffling or nonsensical juxtapositions of this and that and the other thing left intact, exactly as Aronofsky's sleeping mind first encountered them. 

The net effect reminded me of one of my favorite passages from the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 14.4: "Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but the one who prophesies edifies the congregation." Aronofsky is speaking in tongues here, edifying himself but not the congregation. But it's not every day that you get to see a major American filmmaker speak in tongues, babbling to a theater full of strangers about the astonishing dream he had, a dream that he's sure is important, even though he can't explain precisely why. You don't see movies like this everyday. You don't see movies like this ever. That's not nothing.

Finding Noah: An Adventure of Faith

  • The movie is based on a false premise. The Bible says the Ark landed on the “mountains of Ararat” ( Genesis 8:4 ), not specifically on Mt. Ararat, as the filmmakers assert is the case with the ship’s landing spot.
  • Furthermore, creationist geologists regard the thousands of feet of lavas that make up much of Mt. Ararat as Pleistocene and even Recent. That means the mountain’s volcanic eruptions occurred during the Ice Age, which happened after the Flood, and since then, even up until AD 1840. So if the Ark had landed on the precursor to modern Mt. Ararat, it would have been buried under those thousands of feet of subsequently erupted lavas and destroyed. So the question is: why even look for the Ark in a volcanic setting anyway, and why look on top of those lavas?
  • There are some good, qualified people interviewed in the film. That includes Dr. Andy McIntosh, who agreed to be consulted and interviewed as someone who believes in the historicity of the global Flood and the reality of Noah’s huge ship. We have our reservations, however, about the academic qualifications of some of the people interviewed, though they might agree with us on the reality of the Flood and the Ark. More disturbingly, Dr. David Montgomery (described on the film’s website as someone who offered “expert” interviews in the film) teaches against a global Genesis Flood and is prominent in the film. His participation is a major reason we will not promote the film. 4
  • Another troubling aspect is the film’s interview of the mysterious “Mr. X,” who anonymously presents testimony of an intriguing object on Mt. Ararat that he connects to the Ark. It is not a credible segment by either journalistic or scholarly standards.
  • The film is less about “Finding Noah” than it is the “Process of Trying to Find Noah’s Ark.” Without giving up too much of the film’s storyline, the movie has an unsatisfying ending after a very long build up that includes how the Ark explorers endured many challenges.
  • Many Christians believe that if we show skeptics something like the discovery of the Ark, many non-Christians might be prompted to believe in the Bible and perhaps receive Christ. Of course, the people of Jesus’ day saw Him heal the sick and raise people from the dead, but did most of them believe? In fact, the religious leaders helped put Christ to death. Evidence like the existence of an Ark on a mountain range is not going to convince people who have already hardened their heart about the authenticity of God’s Word. Ultimately, because there is a spiritual issue involved with non-believers and Christianity (i.e., people not wanting to repent of their sins and give Christ lordship over their lives), no amount of evidence is going to change such hardened hearts.
Abraham said to him, “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” And he said, “No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.” But he said to him, “If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.” ( Luke 16:29–31 )
  • Over and over again in recorded history, observational science has already authenticated the Bible. Enough evidence has been compiled to show that the Bible is true for anyone to believe, even though people still clamor for more evidence yet never to satisfy. With the Ark Encounter, a full-size Ark to open late summer of next year, AiG will present the evidence that confirms the Bible. In other words, the Bible is already true, yet we can still use evidence to show people that scientific discoveries can confirm historical events that are recounted in the Word of God.
  • It’s a pity that the filmmakers did not consult the world’s largest creationist group, AiG, in its production. We have several PhD scientists and a total of 360 staff, and AiG is building a world-class attraction on the Ark of Noah.

Finding Noah Review

Our summary, our full review.

Finding Noah follows a group of explorers made up of pastors, archaeologists, scientists and mountaineers as they take a journey of faith, adventure and exploration up Mount Ararat to look for Noah’s Ark.

Finding Noah is a gripping, informative and fascinating documentary which looks at the story of Noah’s Ark and the evidence of where it came to rest on Mount Ararat, it journeys through mysterious eye witness accounts of seeing the Ark and documents the adventure, the toil, the harsh conditions, the faith and the hard work of trying to locate the Ark. It flows along at a good pace keeping viewers engaged and at times of the edge of your seat.

Not only do you see stunning visuals of places that have never before been filmed but you get a greater understanding of the history of searching for the Ark and as said it does make for some fascinating viewing, you a get a sense of taking the journey to look for the Ark alongside these explorers.

Finding Noah is a brilliantly produced documentary which provides a journey of looking for Noah’s Ark through history and to present day and for the group of explorers, the adventure is much more than just finding Noah’s Ark, it is a journey that draws them together, making discoveries about each other and themselves and for some the journey helps them feel closer and strengthens their faith with God.

Movie Review: Finding Noah

Movie Description:

For over 2,000 years, man has been searching for the final resting place of Noah’s Ark.  Though there have been many attempts, few have been able to fully explore the one place specifically noted in the Bible: Mount Ararat.  Located in Eastern Turkey, Agri Dagh or “The Painful Mountain” is the tallest mountain in the region and lies in the very center of a centuries old, geo-politically unstable hot spot.  With constant threats of deadly rock slides, hidden crevasses, and glacial ice falls, the Kurdish Rebel held mountain poses great risk to any explorer, let alone those performing a thorough scientific investigation.  

Join director/producer Brent Baum and the FINDING NOAH film crew as they follow an expedition of intrepid explorers on a perilous trek up to Mt. Ararat’s desolate summit.  There, using state of the art technology and real-time satellite imagery, this team of archeologists, scientists and professional mountaineers will begin a grid work of exploration unlike any before, hoping to finally resolve the age-old question:  did Noah and his Ark actually exist?  

Shot in never-before filmed locations in the harshest of conditions, this unprecedented feature-length documentary shows just how far men are willing to go to discover the truth.  Narrated by Academy Award nominee Gary Sinise, FINDING NOAH is more than a quest for answers, it is a testament of the human spirit, where belief and the need for exploration transcend risk and limitation.  

Genre: Documentary

Rating: NR 

Runtime: 116 minutes

Release Date (ONE NIGHT ONLY): October 8

If you’ve read Wild at Heart/Captivating , you know that one of the core parts of our being is a quest. We long for adventure. And Finding Noah is the ultimate quest that does not disappoint.

I wasn’t sure how I’d fare. I love history, but I didn’t know if I was ready for any Biblical/archaeological expedition. I thought it might be too “smart” for me, as intrigued as I’d be. And, I confess, I’m a bit hesitant thanks to Geraldo Rivera. I stayed up way too late on that failed quest to find treasure in Al Capone’s vault decades ago.

Finding Noah is no Geraldo Rivera special. Narrated by Academy Award winning Gary Sinise, viewers are invited to vicariously scale Ararat Mountain in the harshest of conditions as they search for Noah’s Ark. There is so much to like here. The team is friendly and so passionate. You are rooting for them to find the pitch-like material that would designate the ark. The scenery is breathtaking. Whatever video equipment they used was so good that even on my laptop NOT on fullscreen I was holding my breath and feeling dizzy as they showed the heights. The sound of freezing rain pelting the tents made me wince as if I were right there, too. I was caught up in this journey and went through the mountains and valleys with the team.

[tweetthis]Finding Noah is in select theaters for one night only, October 8th and I recommend you check it out[/tweetthis]. It is so much more than a movie, it’s an experience.

Don’t miss out.

Finding Noah Movie Review via lifeofcreed.com @LifeofCreed

**This is a sponsored post, powered by Flyby Promotions.  I received a digital copy of the movie to review.  This is 100% my two cents. 

As a young child and up until my sophomore year of high school, I attend a Catholic school. The story of Noah’s ark in the bible is a very familiar story.  However, I have never really put any thought into finding the ark.  After watching this documentary Finding Noah, narrated by Gary Sinise it becomes very thought provoking. Finding Noah will be in theaters October 8, 2015 for one night only.

My Thoughts

This was a great documentary.  It is hard to even tell you about it without giving too much information away.   I was glued to the screen the whole movie. It was great watching as the group summit Mt. Ararat in search of Noah’s Ark.  You will have to of course watch to see what the outcome is.

Check out the trailer for Finding Noah.

I always question if God wants us to find the ark. We need to have faith that it did happen.

Oh wow, this is really thought-provoking. I never thought about finding the ark either but now I’m so curious and want to watch this!

    Technically, there isn't great continuity. The narrator changes from Gary Sinese to someone else, and back again, like they cobbled footage together from multiple sources. Some of the music is appropriate, some not so much, all of it is inconsistent--religious rock, orchestral, middle eastern, it runs the gamut.

  8. Noah movie review & film summary (2014)

    This is, as you've gathered, an immense, weird, ungainly, often laughably overwrought and silly movie, an amalgamation of elements from various literary and cinematic forebears. Some elements fuse beautifully and others seem to repel each other; still others float onscreen in isolation, like bits of wreckage carried along by floodwater.
