It’s an ambitious shotgun marriage of too many ideas that end up seeming underdeveloped and rushed within a conventional feature runtime.

3/5

The suggestion is that emotional responses to this relooping drama can be somehow calibrated. It feels like an apologia, complete with cut-and-paste disaster imagery, for algorithmic entertainment.

As a holiday time-waster, it's perfectly serviceable. Just keep your expectations firmly in check.

The Great Flood is clearly trying to upend traditional disaster-movie narratives – a little too hard.

[The film] attempts to force an unnecessary epic scale onto a science fiction delirium that tries to lend coherence to a plausibility that had already suffocated within the first half hour. [Full review in Spanish]

The first half hour of the movie is captivating with jaw dropping CGI. Then the movie gets all confusing, the story doesn't work and there are too many things the movie is trying to say that you simply get lost and don't know what you're watching anymore. It had potential but missed the mark.

I really liked this movie. I’m glad I gave it a chance before reading the reviews. Most of them clearly didn’t watch it from beginning to end. There are a few twists to the plot. I don’t think it’s very predictable. It was different than anything I’ve seen before. Overall, I’m shocked by the low ratings. A good reminder that not everything is for everyone, but that doesn’t mean it’s not for you.

Honestly really good, I've noticed most of these reviews didn't actually finish the movie, absolutely would reccomend if you can understand complex themes and puzzle the pieces!

Cool flooding concept, but that's where the good part ends. Instead of this being a humans vs nature movie, it's the main character vs anything and everything that no one wants to see. Kid has an IQ of 20, the MC with a IQ of 30. No one wants to see a main character's main struggle being her kid not listening to her, in a movie about a world ending flood. I mean nobody has a sense of urgency during this impending doom. Director HAS to have chaebol connections to have made it this far.
