Not secretly great or anything but certainly not as terrible as legend would have it. Either way the production design, miniature effects, and stuntwork are completely unbelievable, and it takes serious suicidal audacity to try to shoot something of this scale on the open water. Imagine George Miller directing this.
All I chose to remember about this movie was watching Kevin Kostner drink his own pee.
The Seattle baseball team should slap Kevin Costner’s weathered, unshaven mug on their caps in tribute to the greatest Mariner of them all.
Mad Max: Cruise Control. very broad and childish take on a george miller action apocalypse but still an absolutely incredible feat of analog design work and open sea stunts and spectacle. not really sure why it's 3 hours long tho lol.
Too ambitious to hate but too absurd to take seriously. It's a humourless multi-million dollar bellyflop.
Shitworld.
This film opens on a stream of piss coming out of Kevin Costner. Then Kevin Costner drinks his own piss. Eventually someone steals Kevin Costner's lime tree and he has to go sell dirt to Jeff Lebowski's landlord for sea shells. It is at this point that Kevin Costner is found to have fish gills behind his ears and webbed toes. He is imprisoned for this. A water skier jumps off a giant ramp Fonzie-style and flies into a cage that contains Kevin Costner. A bald Dennis Hopper appears with an umbrella and two midgets. Kevin Costner escapes and shoots a harpoon gun at a rusty fishing boat. It blows up in a fiery mushroom cloud like it was hit…
Now I have finally watched the, at the time, most expensive movie ever made “Waterworld” and it was pretty average.
The movie had some fun ideas and I liked that it was very much like “Mad Max”, but instead of the dry wasteland it was a world flooded by water, so instead of cars they of course used some cool boats with some nice features and apocalyptic looks.
The action was pretty great and the movie also had a good amount of comedy, which made it mostly entertaining.
This sounds good, but the writing and the structure of the movie wasn’t impressing at all and the characters were bad too. This along with the length of the movie made…
(3 Hour Ulysses Cut)
The notorious Waterworld delivers a fantastic rustic sci-fi premise, gorgeous photography, fun action, but then gets so ridiculously silly by the end.
"Dry land is not just our destination, it is our destiny!"
It is crazy how much this movie gets bashed, but that was not the case in my home growing up since it was my dad's favorite movie. Likely because he worked as a Navy diver, and loves over the top action movies. So it was a treat to watch the epically glorious extended cut of the film with him for the first time. It had been so long since I had seen the movie, that I really did not notice most of the…
A spirited mix of George Miller and Roger Corman on the open seas, Kevin Reynolds' "Waterworld" is an apocalyptic Western adventure that wears its influences on its sleeve en route to rating as a fully immersive and terrifically memorable experience. Though known more by its budget than its cinematic value at the time of its release, "Waterworld" proves an obviously ambitious and exuberantly entertaining exercise.
Taking place on an Earth covered by water after the polar ice caps have melted, "Waterworld" focuses on Kevin Costner's laconic Mariner, a sea-bound wanderer soon tangled in future-world drama involving bounties and mythical dryland. Like a Western anti-hero, Mariner's desire to simply live is encumbered by those needing his assistance.
The narrative is built…
I don't get all the hate for this. I loved this when I was 12 and I still loved it. Dennis Hopper alone makes this worth a watch. Very fun film!!
