      Think P I really enjoy the occasional disaster movie. I don't mind movies in which the main cast surving dangers (no one would probably survive in real life) and saving the day in the end - on the contrary I really enjoy it. Taking that into consideration - the Flood is one of the good disaster movies. The acting is good, the storyline follows an understandable path and the CGI is okay. So definitely gonna watch it again, if I come across it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This thing kept going and going and going, had some weird camera work which just made it even harder to watch. Just when I thought it was going to end, there was another two hours. Just too painful to see how it ended. I enjoy a good disaster movie but this one really missed the boat. There was nothing believable about it. Yall dummies can't look outside and see the water coming? I thought Robot Riot and Cowboys VS Dinosaurs was bad, this one wins! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The plot is too thin, compare to other disaster movie. The lack of character development, suddenly a man will sacrifice his life, a professor will lead the government..... all this too standard puzzle. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Utterly, utterly awful. Tried to overlook the casting disaster that is Nigel Pl*ner, someone who should never be allowed near a stage or camera unless you want to suck the life out of a project, but this atrocious piece of work has been made with as little care by the director and writer as it is possible to make anything. For example, take 10:48 Character A: [on the phone to character B] Are you sure that's a good idea? Character B: [replying] Yes, I do. Quite clearly character A's line was meant to be something else e.g. 'Do you think that's a good idea?' As it stands, this moment is asking its audience to stretch to believing... what? That these two characters are suffering from communication or other challenges? That this made it into the edit says everything. Feel bad for the decent actors and technicians that gave their time and energy to this under-rehearsed embarrassment. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Toe-curlingly enjoyable and seemingly endless, this also features a brace of bad performances spouting dreadful dialogue with as much sincerity as they can muster. The plot? London is flooded. People shout. Only Tom Courtenay is able to forsee the appalling destruction heading London's way, and he is a maverick scientist, whose son (Robert Carlyle) has enough on his plate with his terrible Cockney accent. David Suchet as the deputy PM is appalled that no-one told him he only had an hour to evacuate London, and - even worse - that the pound has taken a tumble on the Nikkei. Preposterous and bizarrely static when the waters finally arrive. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Omg this is amazing. So terrible it's addictive. Play cliche bingo, spot the future victim, marvel at the politics, shout at the irrational decisions, spot the famous person, cannot think of a better way to spend a Sunday night.
