Noah: Is this a good movie? Is it good ancient history?

[Paprika]

Spoilers: The premise of the movie: Humans must be killed because they've despoiled the environment, so Noah tries to kill his granddaughter and ends up drunken and depressed because he can't bring himself to do the killing.

What is this I don't even..

For some it is the difference between a deistic God and the God of the Bible. This movie does not portray a deistic God, but rather the villains are more like deists.

Yeah that makes sense. Even just watching the trailer you can see Noah and Methuselah discussing God's flooding of the world because of the corruption of man. Doesn't sound like something a deistic god would do.

If this is accurate it sounds like utter garbage:

That's what the Answers in Genesis crowd was saying about a deistic, creator God.

My sister said it didn't to my parents too. The rumor is coming from SOMEWHERE....

Did you sister see the movie? If not, where did she hear this? Perhaps it is related to the mistaken view of the Answers in Genesis crowd who say something a little more subtle, yet still incorrect. They say that the God portrayed in the movie is merely a deistic God not the real God of the Bible. I don't want to give anything away, but this is not really true because there are indeed miracles portrayed in the movie.

The trailer shows Noah referring to him a number of times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qmj5mhDwJQ

I heard that Noah didn't mention God. Is that true?

There's a version of the script floating around on the Internet somewhere. I don't recall his exact words but throughout the movie Noah is totally and completely focused on the Creator. Some would say obsessed at times.
