Kim Byung-woo’s film doesn’t relent, but its unexpected plot twists are not fully satisfying. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey Variety Dec 22
It’s an ambitious shotgun marriage of too many ideas that end up seeming underdeveloped and rushed within a conventional feature runtime. Go to Full Review
Phil Hoad Guardian Dec 15
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. Go to Full Review

[...] what makes great sci-fi; our humanity and our ability to grow, learn from our mistakes, and try and try again. That’s what The Great Flood is about. Go to Full Review

Where this disaster movie goes from its premise will likely lose a few people, but those who stick around will be rewarded with a satisfying adventure. Go to Full Review

andrea c @Charst 5h Sci fi post apocalittico molto originale per la tipologia di evento atmosferico e per la location particolare in cui si svolge praticamente tutta la pellicola. La sceneggiatura è complessa, lascia intravedere da subito che oltre la facciata di azione si dirama una trama molto più complessa, che viene poi svelata nel momento probabilmente chiave del film, ossia l'unico momento in cui la protagonista lascia il palazzo per raggiungere lo spazio. Da quel momento in poi, molta confusione e poco spazio per comprendere a pieno la storia e le emozioni; problema probabilmente dettato anche dai personaggi non esattamente riusciti come struttura, specialmente il piccolo protagonista, veramente fastidioso. Il finale chiarifica tutta la visione ma non giustifica tanta confusione narrativa. Progetto interessante ma non appassionante come avrebbe potuto essere. See more Christian H. @MatchaC 8h Without a doubt one of the worst movies ever made. Awesome concept but horrible execution. The characters are all incredibly dumb See more Laikmosh W @Laikmosh 1d I had to stops watching this movie in the middle of it, I never do that just because I don’t like or understand something but in this case it was making me feel angry that hundreds of people participated to do this, this movie is about a woman with a 6yo kid that acts like the kid is 1yo while trying to survive the end of the world, the whole plot revolves about the kid not being able to understand there is a crisis, the mother not being able to control the kid and every time they are close to safety the kid does something to return to square 1 and the mother can only apologize to the kid while he tries to kill his own mother for all of the movie, movies often use misbehaving kids as a way for the plot to complicate, but you can use that resource once, maybe twice, I watched 1 hour of this movie an 12 times the plot was complicated because of the stupid kid, not once because the world was ending, don’t ever let the writers of this write anything else See more C W @LemonPeeltheThird 2d At first it seemed it would be a good movie but then the kid tried to kill his mom. And she was the problem. I’m confused… See more Cassandra W @Cassandra.Wilkins.a 2d I wish i could get the time back that i wasted watching this movie. It’s so bad it’s just bad. See more Cozy G @Cozygal 4d Waste of time. Would not recommend even to my worst enemy. See more Read all reviews
