Movies that feel likeThe Great Flood (2025)

When a raging flood traps a researcher and her young son, a call to a crucial mission puts their escape — and the future of humanity — on the line.

If you loved The Great Flood, the closest films we have are The Rocketeer (1991), Fantastic Voyage (1966) and Ra.One (2011). All three share The Great Flood's cerebral and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Until the End of the World (1991).

Both land ideas and scale at once

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

In 1999, a woman's life is forever changed after she survives a car crash with two bank robbers, who enlist her help to take the money to a drop in Paris. On the way, she runs into another fugitive from the law — an American doctor on the run from the CIA. They want to confiscate his father's invention – a device which allows anyone to record their dreams and visions.

Both lean on stillness more than on science fiction

The difference: Leans harder into fantasy than The Great Flood does

Epic drama in both cases

A young and talented architect comes to his senses after a horrific accident only to find himself in the odd dystopian world. A world that is filled with the memories of all current coma patients. Just like a human memory this world is fragmental, chaotic and unstable. This is COMA: icecaps, rivers and cities can all exist in a space of a single room and laws of physics are no longer laws as they can be bent.
