10 Movies With Unexpectedly Ridiculous Plots
1. Noah
From the studio that brought you Transformers comes Noah, Darren Aronofsky’s attempt to do for the Old Testament what Michael Bay did for Hasbro.
According to Aronofsky, Noah (Russell Crowe) was assisted in building an ark by The Watchers, huge stone creatures that, just like Autobots, have sworn to defend mankind. Supposedly fallen angels who were cast out from Heaven for disobeying “The Creator”, they come to Noah’s aid when his pet project catches the eye of villainous Ray Winstone.
One of those snarling bad guys you can tell is gonna be trouble just by looking at him, Winstone is a descendant of Cain and unimpressed by Noah’s talk of a deluge that’ll erase the wicked from this world. So an epic battle begins. The wicked must outnumber the innocent by a thousand to one because when Winstone reappears, he’s backed by an army that stretches as far as the eye can see. As Noah prepares to cast off, The Watchers lay waste to the bad guys, a sequence that made Biblical scholars a mite angry.
“The movie is demonic,” claimed one Christian viewer. “It is from the devil, full of lies and sorcery and an abomination to the real story.”
