Johnny H Aug 9 Not joking when I say this movie is the worst movie I've ever watched. Dreadful acting, over the top drama. The cinematic instrumental music for the whole movie dreadful. The ocean flooding the city but the ferris wheel and buildings dont even move slightly 🤣 everything about this is disastrous. A storm off the east coast of the US somehow only devastates London... See more Alan M Feb 17 Flood started out pretty watchable but slowly sank to the depths of unbelievable, incredulous, corny and ended up in the 'why did I bother' basket. It could have been so good, but wasn't. Just one thought though, why didn't they just open up all those skyscraper office blocks and have everyone move into them rather than chase around London trying to avoid being swept away. See more patricia t 09/05/2024 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. See more Martin N 08/19/2024 They could have all been saved if they had gone upstairs See more Colin M 05/09/2024 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.) See more Think P 11/26/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
