Movie Reviews of Evan Almighty (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: God Wants Americans To Protect Our Remaining Wilderness From Destruction!
Summary: 5 Stars
What I enjoyed most about this entertaining film are all the many messages: That God wants us to protect the environment, in general; and to fight both corruption in government, and suburban sprawl, specifically. Dams can (and do) wreak terrible havoc on the environment, that elected officials quickly forget why they were elected in the first place. That it is so easy put the needs of your career before the needs of your family.
One of my favorite scenes was when God shows Evan how breathtakingly beautiful the land was before it was converted into McMansions. He did so in such a non-judgmental and gentle way, it made the loss feel all the more palpable! Another scene that left a lump in my throat was seeing all animals marching into the ark, two by two. When I saw the orangutangs, who are so incredibly intelligent and beautiful, and at the same time such an endangered species - a tear rolled down my cheek! Then another memory instantly came to mind - about the construction of a real ark. You might be saying to yourself , "this Amazon reviewer must be off his rocker." No, it's true! This ark is being constructed by the Norwegian government on an island in the Arctic Ocean. It won't be holding animals! It will literally be preserving, in a sort of suspended animation - the seeds of life! Every important food crop, and other plant life, on the face of the Earth will be preserved in a fortress-like bunker deep inside a mountain! Bravo for the Norwegian government's foresight!
But I digress... This movies greatest strength is that it's gentle. Destruction of the wilderness, corruption in government, endangering innocent peoples lives, putting your family second to your career and forgetting your conscience, are all potentially heavy topics, which are handled in Evan Almighty with great finesse! My hats off to the filmmakers for a job well done!
The only two other movies I can recommend that directly concern protecting the environment is the brilliant Canadian film: "Spirit Bear," based on a true story. And "Hoot," a delightful film for the entire family about a group of children determined to save an endangered species from the bulldozer. I vote for Hollywood to start making more movies about cherishing the environment! Evan Almighty proves you can both entertain and advocate for protecting this beautiful world of ours - all at the same time!
