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.

[...] 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.

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.

A lot of people who hate this movie lack critical thinking and want to be spoon fed and are thirsty for over dramatic plot twists when they are not needed. After the first time we see Ja-In die, I can understand his "clinginess" because it means he remembers these events in fragments and is just afraid. Also the new decisions the mom makes based of her experience of the past scenarios are like puzzle pieces that get her to where she needs to be....like her saving the girl from the elevator who turns out to be the granddaughter of the old man she almost got killed in his apartment(which probably happened in her past scenarios where she was unable to save the girl). The plot twists are meant to be emotional and heartfelt not shocking.

The name should be "The Great Nonsense". Complete waste of time.

I've seen unrealistic disaster movies before but this was unbearable, every scene you're left thinking "really? Ugh" It had potential but you won't see anything worth your time, wish I could get my time back.

This could have been a good film. However the writing makes it unwatchable. Every scene is unrealistic and the acting is shocking

Insanely ridiculous, cheap sentimentalism, annoying kid, bad acting, bad script, absolutely nothing good. Couldn’t even finish. The movie story is diagusting.
