Featured reviews
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 read some reviews that talked about the fact that most people reviewed this film negatively because in this film there is a clear change of direction that they didn't like! Ok I didn't like the film for this reason but if the film is well made I still consider it a good film, in this case there is a really interesting idea in the film but really difficult to swallow, why? In this film we're not talking about things that could happen in tens of years or hundreds of years, here we're talking about things that maybe, and I say maybe, will happen in thousands of years and I'm not just talking about AI but I'm also talking about the technical construction sector, in my opinion they've gone too far, here they're talking about an incredible technology that is truly light years away in the present day, this is really difficult for me to swallow perhaps to watch this film you shouldn't be too pretentious because nothing about AI is in the film that rides the wave! What I wonder is what need was there to include this tear-jerking story between mother and son that didn't tear me away, perhaps theirs was just one of many different stories that ultimately have no purpose? To make humanity better, to make us better? Well I don't know, maybe only the person who wrote it knows.
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.
