The constant movement made me feel a bit sick.
Yup got definite motion sickness in the cinema from that bit early on where the camera is seeing through Sandy Bollocks' eyes.

Worst film I've seen for years, by a country mile.
Definitely in some respects. As a spectacle it was fairly good, but plot/dialogue/having any attachment for the characters at all = absolutely ZERO.
By the SIXTH time Sandy Bollocks survives by her fingernails, you stop caring because it's obvious she's going to survive.

Do it - Noah doesn't deserve the kicking it's got, Aronofsky is one hell of a talent. I thought the film was wonderful, yes totally absurd in parts but it's completely unlike any film I've seen before, utterly loopy.
It's meant to portray Noah as some kind of eco-activist but I didnt see much of that, he's just a boiler-plate religious fundamentalist nutter - amazed it didn't get the Life of Brian treatment from US religious types but maybe this shows a good thing that they've calmed down a bit over the years. The stone fallen angels are brilliant. Kermode called it 'a preposterous but endearingly unhinged epic' but Robbie Collin in the Telegraph had the best review of it below:

UK film bible Sight and Sound threw a big wobbly because it was released third week of December - making it too late to appear in its poll of best films of 2013 but obviously by definition ineligible for its 2014 poll. The cinephile canon compilers worry about such stuff

I was 100% expecting a shark to appear at the end. Felt cheated. Tho she would have doubtless stabbed it to death with her remaining fingernail.
I was chuckling to myself for that brief moment she stood on the beach, hoping something ridiculous (a cow etc) would fall out of the sky and flatten her.

Her probably my number one too - but Calvary brilliant and apart from the soppy Will Ferrell bits at end, you gotta love the Lego Movie
True
Could not agree more LI. I thought it was barkingly brilliant. I loved it. The acting is very good and the storyline always interesting. Loved the rock monster, fallen angels

What if the film was
Well acted
Interesting plot
Engaging characters
Well written dialogue
AND had
Special FX
Big bangs and booms
Would it be dismissed out of hand because of the latter ? or would it be enjoyed because of the former

If you sat through the end credits, she did!
Worst film of 2014 so far and I've seen a few. Never seen so many people leave a cinema showing since some duff Adam Sandler shit I sat through a few years back. When I saw it in Crawley only 20 odd people were left at the end and there must have been 100+ to start with.
