Submersion

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.

This was a very well done tale mostly told through visualization and with a great deal of sophistication. Those who cannot interpret what they see and must be explicitly told what they were looking at, will not enjoy this story. A good example of this is the changes made to main character's tee-shirt as she relives story iterations. You see it. You are not told about it. If you didn't see that you didn't watch the movie at all. The Marvel universe will better fulfil your needs. Likewise, those who have no idea about how AI works internally, will not understand any part of the story. A Disney production would be more along your lines of interest. Despite the fact the story is about acquiring feelings, those who interpret the world through 'feels' will be completely lost and confused. Not recommended for you folks at all.

Visually, the effects were stunning as was the acting. The story is very similar in many ways to the Alicization story arc of Sword Art Online, which was rated by most viewers far higher than this story. The reason for this is most likely due to the sophistication and open mindedness of its viewing audience. If you like SAO then you'll like and understand and enjoy this story without issue. Kudos to the actors. All of them were amazing. This was finely woven story telling with elements of science fiction. If you like to think, then this movie is for you.

Such an irritating kid he is the reason ppl might won't like that movie. His acting and the role given to him wasnt necessary.

They shud have thought some other ways to get involved in troubles. This kid spoils the whole mood of watching this movie.

I stopped watching this movie in between because of him.

The movie started of great and exciting, but when a kid is inserted the child is not cute but more of annoying and it makes the movie un-enjoyable to watch. I always like watching Korean movies and drama. Continue to make good similar movies like this without any annoying child.

My rating would have been higher without the kid and if I understood the movie.

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.
