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

The earth covered in water.......2007-06-03

Some people say there is dry land some where, a little girl has a map on her back to show the way, but nobody can read it.

Nitpicker's delight.......2007-05-20

If you take every movie seriously this movie deserves negative stars...it is that bad. Every aspect of the movie is ill-conceived and poorly executed.
However, if you and perhaps some of your friends enjoy nitpicking terrible movies, this movie is prime for the (nit)picking. Mystery science theatre 3000 watchers rejoice (if only they had used waterworld for the feature length MST3k)!
This is especially true for anyone who has any understanding of basic science. It takes seconds to travel from one glaring flaw to another! What hack wrote this POS? Who decided to pay for it without doing ANY fact/feasability checking! I don't think this movie left any natural law unviolated!
Have you ever smoked a decades old cigarette? Have you ever tried to use a shell that has been near salt water for who know how long (corrosion is pretty well ignored in every way)? Have you ever tried to fuel your jetski with CRUDE oil? Does a diving bell with a flexable surface maintain a constant volume as the pressure increases? Can you grow anything in salt-water soaked soil? I won't even touch how completely Kostner's special 'gift' violates every premise of evolutionary biology. Ever want to see someone floating in a turd shaped derigible?
I laughed the whole way through...maybe you will as well.

There's nothing free in Waterworld!! That goes for opinons!.......2007-05-04

If you have never heard of this movie, then give it a try. If you have watched this already and like it, the HD version is good and crisp! I mean, at times I looked at Kevin and it was so detail for water drips to water lol just being on him. I'll be honest, this movie is good, "not" great, but it was worth enough for me to make the purchase. HD didn't disappoint me. The water glistering and shimmering as they are the stars lol of the film. It was great. I'm glad it was good on HD, I was kind of worried with a movie being so OLD, I thought HD wouldn't do it justice and was actually ENTERTAINED like it was the first time I was watching it. The overall view is: Storyline: good Visually: HD is a GREAT bargain!! - - - only bad thing is no Extra :( but with the price I bought it on Amazon :) still turn that frown into a smile, because HD Movie makes it all in all, a new experience to CLASSIC Films.

Waterworld HD-DVD.......2007-04-09

If you like this movie you have to watch in in HD-DVD or Blueray. Although it isnt as good as the newer transfers it is still by far the best verion of this film. I really enjoyed the clarity and crispness of the action scenes. Also at the end, the land looked all that more inviting.

cut version.......2007-03-27

When I originally saw this in the theatre there were extra scenes shown. But the video versions were edited and the movie shortened. You get scene cuts in the movie and you realize that something extra was supposed to be there. If you want to see the full version they show on the sci-fi channel every so often.
