Around 1997-2000, NBC began producing a string of fantasy-based miniseries. Adaptations of THE ODYSSEY, MERLIN, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and THE 10TH KINGDOM all aired around this time. None of these were great, but the worst of all was NOAH'S ARK.
This miniseries was written by Peter Barnes, a playwright notable for THE RULING CLASS (a comedy about a British noble who thinks he's Jesus) and THE BEWITCHED (a satirical look at the Spanish Inquisition). While I don't know if Barnes was religious, I think it's fair to say he clearly enjoyed poking fun at organized religion with a satirical edge.
I get the impression he wrote this script as a parody of the Noah's Ark story, NBC jumped on it…
a drunk guy who never read the Bible overheard a conversation about the bible Flood, and putting together cheap comedies, fragments of the conversation about Bible and some post apocalyptic ideas writes Noah’s Ark.
This is the only explanation for this movie.
The characters are stupid and with idiot motivation. sometimes lacking completely of moral and mental sense.
None of them are really inspired by the real biblical account, seemingly more drunk copies of the original.
In the end, this movie is so bad it’s so good. I still wonder how Murray could join this beautiful mess.
Ló já existia antes do dilúvio e vira um pirata que tenta atacar a arca enquanto é rechaçado pela esposa do Noé e sua enchurrada de pães de alho? Achei épico.
This is the best Noah's Boat story where John Voight talks to himself.
This mishmash of unbelievable truly needs to be seen for ones self; I can say that it's memorable and life changing... for many reasons.
Hay una escena donde ya ocurrió el diluvio y se supone que todo el mundo está muerto, según la Biblia.
Lo que esta película hace es que sale de la nada un vendedor en un barquito vendiendo ropa y hay un montaje de las esposas de los hijos de Noe probándose ropa.
También hay una escena con Noe hablando con Dios y termina bailando en el arca.
Chale, que risa da que nada tenga sentido aquí y da más risa si te sabes la historia jaja
A complete tonal mess of a miniseries. How did I make it through this? Maybe it was the fact that I just wanted to get to any parts with elephants?
That's definitely it.
When I was younger I used to like this version of the story.I guess I thought it was another fairy tale.But now it simply didn't work for me.
Decided to see another adaptation of the Great Flood story, which turned out to be a total mess, in a form of mini-series.
The events from Genesis are reordered and compressed in this re-imagination of the biblical story. Sodom and Gomorrah face God's wrath, and only Noah (Jon Voight) and his friend Lot (F. Murray Abraham) are chosen to escape from the sinful cities. Now wait here just a minute! When in the hell did Noah and Lot meet? They were separated by hundreds of years of history. At least that's what Bible says. Sure, it can be some other dude named Lot, who was friends with Noah, but Sodom and Gomorrah? Seriously? They were destroyed in the days of…
