Editorial Review: Product Description: In a future where earth is covered with water many cling to legends of a mythical place called dryland. One childs wonderous secret may hold the key to its whereabouts and thus the survival of the human race. Bonus features: production notes talent bios film highlights and theatrical trailer. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 04/12/2005 Starring: Kevin Costner Jeanne Tripplehorn Run time: 136 minutes Rating: Pg13 Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Perfect vision of future....or past!It`s amazing movie, really. I couldn`t even imagine and think that it would be super film with different elements: quality of directorial work, unbelievable high level of visual effects and actors` work. So good, so nice! The feeling of something kind and great stood up at me after watching. You may not pay attention at this film, but, in my opinion, this picture is one of the best what have ever made in our unpredictable and wonderful world. Rating:  - poor attempt at extended editionThis is the second movie that I have purchased produced by Universal Studios, which included a extended/director's cut that was simply a production of an edited version that was shown on broadcast television. It differs in some significant respects to the actual theatrical version with regard to the deletion or altercation of some dialogue and other scenes considered too explicit for television networks. This is a lazy and sad attempt by Universal Studios to produce a extended/director's cut. ... Read More Rating: - One of Costner's bestDespite what some people say, this is an excellent movie. Now with the added footage which I only saw on network television before, it is even more complete and entertaining. Costner does his usual great job portraying a man on his own in a disastrous future or similar situation where he has to rely on his own devices and survival skills to live through them. The movie paints a realistic view of an Earth mostly covered by water. I think most viewers thought The Dennis Hopper ... Read More Rating:  - Not an abomination, but it's bad. 37%I got interested in Waterworld after seeing the Angry Video Game Nerd attack the Waterworld game for the Virtual Boy (he'd attack the VB along with the movie itself). I finally went to the local Family Video this weekend to see how bad it was for myself and much to my surprise, it wasn't the abomination legions of people make it out to be, but that's not really saying much. The plot is that the polar ice caps melt and flood the entire world, creating the setting we know as in the title. ... Read More Rating: - extended version is TV versionThe product description for this dvd is hugely misleading. Not only is the running time just the extended cut and theatrical cut combined, but the extended cut is the TV version broadcast on ABC without the nudity, excessive violence and profanity. So unless you want the real director's cut which doesn't exist, this is definitely NOT it. Browse for similar items by category:
