Netflix's movie 'The Great Flood' has released its main trailer, showcasing the fierce struggle of characters for survival on the last day of Earth submerged in water due to an asteroid collision, raising expectations.
After screening in the 'Today’s Korean Cinema - Special Premiere' section at the 30th Busan International Film Festival, the Netflix film 'The Great Flood' has garnered praise as "a captivating maze of a film exploring the human heart greater than the colossal disaster." It depicts the struggle of those who bet on the last hope for humanity to survive in a world engulfed by a great flood, fighting within a submerged apartment in this sci-fi disaster blockbuster.
The released main trailer begins with the words of security team leader Hee-jo (played by Park Hae-soo), saying, "Modern humanity has ended today." AI researcher Anna (played by Kim Da-mi) learns that she has a crucial mission to create a new humanity in the face of the great flood caused by the asteroid collision.
The enormous flood that strikes without warning quickly engulfs the city, and the apartment where Anna and Jae-in (played by Kwon Eun-sung) live soon turns into chaos. Following Hee-jo, who carries his only son Jae-in on his back, the journey to the rooftop is fraught with dangers, from explosions to the massive waves caused by the flood, heightening the tension.
In the unprecedented disaster, Anna fights desperately to protect Jae-in, but on top of that, she loses her sick son. Anna, tearfully saying, "Just let me find him," searches through the apartment, but Hee-jo, who has the mission to rescue Anna, blocks her, leading to a tense confrontation between them.
The unidentified golden particles resembling the waves add to the curiosity about what amazing story 'The Great Flood' will unfold. The survival journey of Anna and Jae-in, who have become humanity's hope, offers an immersive experience that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Moreover, Hee-jo's significant line, "I want to see it once. What happens to Anna in the end," foreshadows that Anna will face a crossroads of choices, and the sight of Anna swimming in the vast ocean raises questions about the conclusion they will meet in the flood.
In the face of the irresistible disaster of the great flood, the unpredictable stories of characters on the brink, the immersive performances of Kim Da-mi and Park Hae-soo, and the vibrant direction of director Kim Byung-woo are generating anticipation for the sci-fi disaster blockbuster 'The Great Flood', which will be released on Netflix on December 19.
