3/5

Kim Byung-woo’s film doesn’t relent, but its unexpected plot twists are not fully satisfying.

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.

I have to warn you that what I’m about to describe is going to sound infinitely better than it actually is. Imagine The Day After Tomorrow made a baby with The Matrix and Groundhog Day.

[...] 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.

Very well done movie. It wasn’t what I expected and was very surprised by the story. Not sure why there is so many bad reviews but I highly recommend!

I had a hard time following exactly what this movie was supposed to be about. It started as an awesome disaster story, but it soon evolved into a cerebral sci-fi that was as intriguing as it was confusing. Overall, I enjoyed watching the movie, and there were a lot of awesome scenes, but it was way more complicated than it had to be. I can see thriller, sci-fi, and disaster movie fans enjoying it.

I went back & forth between really liking it & wishing it was over. The ending was especially interesting.

Ok seriously One Battle After Another gets rave reviews and this underperforms THAT sleep inducer? Hollywood has truly lost its edge. This movie was edgy and very, VERY captivating. Not the ending I was expecting, but nonetheless memorable, fun, original, not political finally, and heartwarming.
