After reading numerous reviews on Amazon claiming that this film was dire, I was expecting something truly ghastly. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I actually watched it.
Apart from a little bit of cheesy acting, some slightly shallow characters, and a few predictable lines, this film wasn't that bad at all.
Agreed, it isn't a hollywood blockbuster, nor did it have a Hollywood budget. Agreed, the CGI effects did not compare to the big budget movies like the day after tomorrow, but on the whole, this movie still retained my interest throughout, and its' entertainment value remains high. I would compare its' quality and feel to that of a high-budget mini TV series. Definately worth a look.

Be warned - this is NOT the four hour (and far superior) version ITV showed - this is the shorter version of the same programme, with 3 hours cut, for cinema release

. . . not a patch on the book. But then it couldn't be: the book is long and has a large number of sub-plots that could not possibly be covered in a two-hour film. If the book were to be dramatised it would probably have worked best as a mini-series. The film works quite well if you have have no expectations from the book or if you can put any such expectations aside, and the blurb on the back warned me that that was what I should do. So I did, and quite enjoyed the film for what it is: an old-fashioned disaster-movie. The effects are the real star here: no-one ever went to a disaster-movie for the acting, and to moan about the film's thespian short-comings is a bit like whinging about the lack of character development in Tom & Jerry. Take out your brain, put it in a bucket of iced gin-and-tonic and enjoy . . .

Topical and enjoyable. This is no disaster!
Somehow I missed the TV series and, despite some scathing reviews here, thought I'd take a risk with the BD of Flood at the now heavily discounted price. Read more

Disappointing
Doesn't feel like a movie, feels like a BBC drama; and like many BBC dramas, the dialogue is unrealistic, and the acting unconvincing. Two stars because it has some good effects.

Inane enough to even give Irwin Allen pause
Although a heavily cut version played one theatre in London for a week and is released on a single-disc DVD, you need to see British disaster mini-series (or is that disastrous... Read more
