This was actually one of the most boring Bible movies I've ever watched. I actually fell asleep on it the first time and I wasn't even tired. It put me to sleep. I didn't like how it was word for word. That really wasn't necessary and lazy on the part of the writers. It would have been much better had it been improvised or something. I also didn't like how it was almost completely narrated and then some parts were like a story. It would have been better to do it some other way. But what was so amusing was that when the narrator was talking about the "downward spiral" the people were taking before the flood, instead of showing people in that time, it showed modern people in a dance club, modern cities, and a landfill, along with modern warfare. What was really the point of that? It completely took you out of the movie and it was then hard to get back into it. The scenery is pretty, but it's not going to really save this movie.
