If nothing else, Darren Aronofsky's " Noah " is a film of beauty, albeit cold and disturbing beauty. The cinematography, the visual effects, and the score by Clint Mansell are all very stirring and epic. The stark Icelandic landscape in which "Noah" was filmed is a believable backdrop for a world in which - as Aronofsky's tale goes - man is an eco-terrorist and has spoiled and consumed nearly all of God's creation. God communicates to Noah through dreams and hallucinations that all people save for him and his family will be destroyed by water as judgement for their wickedness. The loneliness of Noah as he prepares for the flooding of the earth is felt acutely by the audience, since there is often nothing but his tiny family in the vast expanse of the uncivilized land.
