3.0 out of 5 stars DVD Re-release Includes Additional Footage, September 16, 2008

By

This review is from: Flood (DVD)

Contrary to the description, this is not the first time it is released on DVD, it is the second, and more the better for it. This was an ITV telefilm (240 minutes) that was later edited for DVD (106 minutes) and has now been re-released at 188 minutes.

The original (very poorly) edited version received scathing reviews, and deservedly so. Most people watching didn't realise they were seeing something that had been hacked to bits. Now the full version is out and, although lengthy, it at least bridges some of the gaps in logic that were created by the hatchet job. That being said, this is not the best movie ever made but it does have its good points (effects, cast, and a decent plot). It was originally broadcast in two halves so that may be the best way to watch it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid, April 2, 2010

Well, what can one expect from a catastrophe movie? It is what it is. However, there's something else to this one. The acting is very good and you soon take to the characters, unlike some other flicks where you just don't care whether they live or die. The effects are also very good. Some people may disagree, but if movies are for entertainment, in my opinion FLOOD fulfills its mission.

2.0 out of 5 stars Film Flood, April 22, 2010

This review is from: Flood (DVD)

A very disappointing interpretation of Richard Doyle's excellent book of the same title. They could have done so much more. I appreciate that making disaster films is difficult but huge chunks of the story are missing, chunks which would have given a much better forward to the story. This is one that I would not bother to watch again.
