patricia t In the early stages I found this film compelling, even gripping, with some very convincing performances, even in relatively minor roles. As it progressed, however, I felt it didn't really have anywhere to go and, while the special effects stayed impressive (at least for 2007), I became rather irritated and began to wish I could just fast-forward it. At times, it just felt totally unbelievable: for example, the way in which some of the leading characters managed to survive, while behaving - in my opinion - extremely stupidly. (I won't be more specific for fear of spoiling the suspense for more credulous spectators). Cutting down the running-time by 30 minutes might, in itself, have helped. I also watched it on tv and might, perhaps, have been more effectively "swept away" had I seen it in the cinema. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Martin N They could have all been saved if they had gone upstairs Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Colin M The prospects of central London being flooded by a storm surge overtopping the Thames Barrier, examined. (Based on a book, "Flood", by Richard Doyle, apparently.) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review 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.
