In a movie that is reminiscent of Edge of Tomorrow and Source Code, the concept of reincarnating in a simulation in order to refine an output is vividly brought to life in The Great Flood (Korean). The movie starts off innocuously enough – one AI researcher Dr Gu An-na (Kim Da-mi) seeks to rescue her son Ja-in (Kwon Eun-sung) from the tsunamis that ensue after a meteorite strike. Climbing to higher floors in their skyscraper, and on the verge of being rescued by an UN rescue mission, the separation and restoration of mother and son becomes almost a metaphor for the restoration of humanity itself and its most defining emotions. As a post apocalyptic sci fi dystopia this would have been barely watchable, interweaving an emotional quotient lifts it to a very good movie with an original script
