Movie Reviews of Waterworld (2-Disc Extended Edition)

Movie Review: Good movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Interesting idea, our world covered by endless oceans due to global warming. People somehow surviving in a world like that. A few flaws, like wooden boats and towns ... where's the trees? But still beautiful underwater scenes.
Kevin is his normal Quiet Hero self, and Dennis Hopper is hilarious as the villian. A good movie that got horrible reviews that it didn't deserve. Well worth watching.

Summary of Waterworld (2-Disc Extended Edition)

Genre: Action/Adventure
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 4-NOV-2008
Media Type: DVD

Let's be honest: this 1995 epic isn't nearly as bad as its negative publicity led us to expect. At the time it was the most expensive Hollywood production in history (it had a Titanic-sized $200 million budget), and the film arrived in theaters with so much controversy and negative gossip that it was an easy target for ridicule. The movie itself, a flawed but enjoyable post-apocalypse thriller, deserves better. Waterworld stars Kevin Costner as the Mariner, a lone maverick with gills and webbed feet who navigates the endless seas of Earth after the complete melting of the polar ice caps. The Mariner has been caged like a criminal when he's freed by Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and enlisted to help her and a young girl (Tina Majorino) escape from the Smokers, a group of renegade terrorists led by Dennis Hopper in yet another memorably villainous role. It is too bad the predictable script isn't more intelligent, but as a companion piece to The Road Warrior, this seafaring stunt-fest is adequately impressive. --Jeff Shannon
