The storytelling is brittle, but there is still enjoyment to be had from this story of a mother and child and rescue from a catastrophic flood in Seoul. It all begins very quickly, as a catastrophic flood is currently sweeping across the world. One woman, An-na (Kim Da-mi) has been targeted as a key person who must be saved. Kim Da-mi serves as the emotional anchor with a force that holds scenes together when the narrative starts pulling in too many directions.

The execution could have been stronger if it were a little shorter.🌊

The Great Flood begins on a strong note, drawing the viewer in with an engaging and suspenseful opening. The early scenes set up an interesting premise and create real curiosity about where the story is headed. However, as the film progresses, it gradually loses focus. The narrative becomes overly long, unnecessarily complicated, and increasingly confusing. Subplots pile up without clear direction, and the pacing slows down significantly, making the experience feel dragged and cluttered. By the final act, the film struggles to maintain coherence, leaving the audience more puzzled than satisfied. Overall, The Great Flood starts well but fails to deliver a clear, well-structured payoff.

I went into this expecting very little. Just a decent disaster movie that does just enough to entertain me.

It starts out pretty intense, where we follow this mom and her son trying to survive «the great flood». Then it does a 180 and turns into a sci-fi movie.

I am assuming pretty much the entire movie is shot in a «green screen stage/studio». The VFX is impressive for its (i would hope) low budget. But not impressive enough to be totally immersive.

Its a good effort, but I fear the movie is overambitious yet somehow lacking in plot and overall execution.

The lead character, An-na, is the only thing keeping it from being a total disaster.

5/10.

I am not into korean movies or series but this one caught my attention. I was shocked to seing this movie got a very low rating but by reading the reviews i understand that some people hate the characters because of its behavior. While that might not be the actors fault they did a really great acting on the characters they supposed to act. What im shocked most is the editing of the flood and all of the VFX they have put into making this movie. I mean from the water physics, explosion and also IN SPACE. All of them look surreal and not many movie production can do that. The story might be a 6/10 for me but the editing really bumps up my points for this movie.

The movie seemed promising, but the kid keeps ruining everything; he's unbearable! He keeps causing one problem after another. I understand he's a child, but they made him extremely stupid and capricious. He can't even follow a simple instruction, he doesn't follow you, he can't even walk on his own!
