As someone that goes to church I'm not really interested in Noah. Most biblical scholars will tell you the first 11 chapters of Genesis are not to be read literally. The story of Noah has meaning but it's most likely a parable/read metaphorically. It's doubtful a world wide flood actually happened even though there is evidence of regional flooding around 3000 BC roughly. There are many parallels to the Babylonian tale of Gilgamesh which is considered to have been written first.
I'm sure the movie might be interesting but since I don't feel the event actually happened it loses its meaning for me.
Edit - I will just add I'm not looking for a debate on religion. Just giving my reason why I probably won't see this.
