「おっきい」 is the friendly, colloquial way to say something is big, as in 「おっきいね」; the standard word is 「大きい」, and rough casual speech uses 「でかい」. For astonishing scale choose 「巨大」, for vast amounts 「膨大」, for size classes 「大型」, and for exaggerated hugeness 「どでかい」 or 「馬鹿でかい」. 「極大」 belongs to formal or mathematical writing, and the opposite of 「おっきい」 is the equally childlike 「小っちゃい」.
