A grande inundação

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.🌊

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 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.

When I see all these "reviewers" with their weird "names/handles" trashing this movie (and others), I gotta wonder if AI has already taken over, lol.

Seriously, I've been wanting to say that for ages, even if it means a bunch of downvotes. Anyway, I had no idea about this movie and just thought it'd be a typical disaster flick. But then it got all twisty and totally caught me off guard.

From that point on, I was hooked and got way more than I expected. And I mean that in the best possible way!

I get that some people might not dig the direction it takes and could be "turned off" by it, but as a SciFi fan, I absolutely loved it.

The visuals were awesome, the concept was cool, and it brought up some really interesting philosophical questions. If you're open to something different from your usual disaster movie, you might really enjoy it too.

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll stop here.

For me, it's a definite recommendation and a surprisingly good experience.
