Noah was a bit of a surprise hit (I thought it would tank because religious audiences would be upset because it was too liberal of an interpretation, and non-religious audiences would assume the movie was too original), and while I had mixed feelings on the movie, I'm glad people turned out to see it.  Darren Aronofsky made an interesting movie with big ideas, and while they didn't always click together or were sometimes slightly spoon-fed or softened, they all existed within a memorable landscape.  One of the film's most striking scenes is Noah (Russell Crowe) telling the story of creation, which allows Aronofsky to blend the biblical with the scientific to form a beautiful and vibrant composition.

Hit the jump to watch the "Creation" clip from Noah.
