If I had to sum up 2014 as a cinematic year, other than
being overall pretty good, it would be as a more predominantly Christian year
than most others. From indie works like Heaven Is For Real, Kirk Cameron’s
Saving Christmas and the previously exenterated God’s Not Dead, to the more
mainstream like Darren Aronofsky’s Noah and Ridley Scott’s Exodus, I highly doubt
we’ll see another year quite like it in that department. It is with this in
mind that I look at today’s subject, an animated family film based on the story
of Noah’s Ark, and can’t help thinking that this release missed the boat. If you audibly groaned at that pun, strap yourselves in 'cause it’s only
going to get worse from here.
