Evan Almighty
During my honeymoon, I had the time to do something I’ve never found the time to do before: Read Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear.” The book was a big deal when it came out a few years because the villians in the book were environmentalists who were trying to cause deadly weather events to try to scare people into believing that man-made global warming was real. I hope I’m not giving away anything here, but one of the events the environmentalists were trying to plan was a giant tsunami that would have killing thousands.
After finishing the book, I saw a preview for “Evan Almighty.” For those that don’t know, the movie stars Steve Carell as a man who is instructed by God to build an ark like Noah. At the end of the preview, there is a short clip of a huge wave taking the completed ark. Then it clicked in my mind:
This is going to be an environmentalism movie.
Here’s my prediction: God comes down to Steve Carell to tell him to build the ark as a way to raise awareness of how we’re damaging the environment. It will end with some type of “abrupt climate change” in the form of an enormous flood or tsunami, which will conveniently also have no casulties.
The movie is being billed as a comedy with no reference to environmentalism, but just watch.
I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to pick up on this without a big clue like Crichton’s book, but at least I figured it out before I was halfway through the movie.
