Definitely Aronofsky's worst movie but at least he was trying to do something a little different. It's always weird when Hollywood decides to enlist oddball indie-type directors to make blockbusters. Just like David Lynch with Dune.

I didn't mind it, I actually thought it was pretty good and Aronofsky seems like a brilliant director to tackle a story like that. No where near The Wrestler or Black Swan but decent nonetheless.

I just didn't get the Transformer-like angels. I mean, I'm all for liberal interpretation of the greatest work of fiction of our time, but where does it even mention such a thing? And was that supposed to be Cain who stowed aboard? I watched a two part BBC dramatisation that was a million times better. Crowe was ok, for Crowe, but much of the acting was pretty meh I found; couldn't pick out one standout .... oh wait. That dove at the end. He knew where it was at.
Dunno if it qualifies as a movie, but just watched The Wizard of Lies, directed by Levinson. DeNiro ****ing kills it as Bernie Madoff, but Pfeiffer is well worth watching as his wife. Excellent dramatisation.
