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.

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.

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.

I felt the premise was credible, didn't find too many holes in the logic and they took their time telling the story (which accounts for the length). However, it never really was dull and there were some genuinely nail-biter moments.
Characterizations were excellent as were all the actors.
As disaster movies go..this one is definitely several cuts above.

This is my kind of movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Great acting & good story. And even though it's 187 minutes it didn't seem long.

I loved the movie when it was on TV and was happy to hear it was available on dvd. It has great acting and love the special effects. I am a fan of disaster flicks and this one is at the top of my list!

Much better than expected catastrophe film. Very good acting, camera work, effects. The ending could have been a little better but this is a very good film if you like this type of stuff. Enjoy!

I enjoy this one, with outstanding special effects, especially the flooding of London. But it stops there. I couldn"t remember what the story was about an hour after watching the disc.
I am still waiting for a disaster film that combines good special effects and a good story that remains in one"s mind after watching.

I think this product was amazing, it came in perfect condition, and I definitely recommend buying from this seller. And the movie is just awesome as well.
