Saw it in the theater. Was my least favorite DA film. Had some interesting moments/ideas but the crystal bookending stuff just didn't work for me.
Saw this in theaters too... I thought it was God awful, no pun intended.. By the second act, we almost walked out, seriously. The movie, I thought, started out well enough... The Biblical references at this point were well done, and I thought Ed Harris and Michelle Pfiefer were doing solid jobs at this point while Jennifer Lawrence was at least not as annoying as usual.
But by the second act, or "The Flood," the movie starts to make a lot less sense and really begins to unravel at the seams. The post-diluvian world in the film is just an abomination -- the scenes shift from one preposterous event to the next, with Man seemingly having an insane amount of power over this very childlike, foolish, and frankly
evil God.
I dunno... I mean, I understand what the movie is trying to do, but I'm not sure it really works conceptually; because it certainly does
not work cinematically. I think this is one of the few recent releases that got an 'F' CinemaScore. I definitely would have given it such a grade, and I think most of the people in the audience would have agreed given their reactions to the film.
