I didn't find the movie boring at all. It seemed like every 5 minutes there was some new amazing imagary to blow me away. I tend to gravitate more toward visually strong movies, but that's not to say the script or acting were weak. They just aren't as notable as the insane deluge of visual art the film presents you.

This was me. I've not seen the film since it was released yet but a lot of the stuff mentioned so far from the third act doesn't align with the cut I saw, and bits sound shifted around.

Could you give a detailed account in spoilers of what you remember of the 3rd act?

It's late here (UK) so I'll do a quick summary and answer any questions tomorrow but basically;

stuff.

I liked the theatrical third act alright but that sounds infinitely better. I hope it's released in some form.

Theatrical spoilers: It sounds like the only thing I'd miss is Noah leaving Ham's innocent girlfriend to be trampled by the mob. It was the first moment that we're shown God's morality and man's cannot coincide.

This alleged 'third act' sounds absolutely nonsensical and made up. The whole thing about Noah having a vision of him fighting in wars culminating in him being an American soldier is a total ripoff of that unproduced Gladiator 2 script in which Maximus ends up fighting in all these wars and ends with him being in the Pentagon.

I'm pretty sure that part of it is just a misunderstanding of what's already in the film. The silhouettes of war throughout history, including modern soldiers. The 2 time-lapse sequences were my favorite parts, by a mile. Just utterly fantastic.

Watching "Creationists" and Masters Degrees in Biblical History and "Scientists" talk about the evils of the movie and the REAL story.

Around 16 minutes they try to attack the movie's "agenda" to portray God as a child killer, but their defense is "we have all sinned so we all deserve to die." Doesn't really work against God's baby killing.

Edit: Godwin's law violation at 23 minutes.
