: WaterworldIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - Underrated movieFor some good ol' post-apocalyptic fun, this movie fits the bill just fine. No, it's not a particularly intelligent movie, but it's not trying to be, and the action and adventure are all there. It's taken a lot of flak for going way over budget and "bombing", but if you take into account that a storm destroyed their island set, requiring a rebuild, it may have very well been profitable domestically. Then, once you factor in global sales, the movie, storm or not, was actually quite profitable. Rating:  - If you enjoy this type of thing...I know intellectually that "Waterworld" is a dog, but I still have a soft spot for it and enjoy it when it's on tv. It's hard to go wrong with glistening oceans, millions of dollars of floating sets, a wonderful score, and Dennis Hopper chewing the scenary. (He was actually scared a lot of the film - his costume was very heavy and if he had fallen over into the water, it would have been hard to get him before he sank.)The extended cut (I've watched it) fills in a lot of story gaps, so if you've enjoyed the theatrical cut, you'll definitely want to check this version out. Rating:  - The theatrical version SUCKS but this is awsome!!!!!!This is the version that has plot,characterization,backstory,all the things that make movies watchable!!!!!(ARE YOU LISTENING MOVIE STUDIOS?!?!?)This used to run fairly regularly on Sci-Fi and USA networks back before NBC bought Universal and I haven't seen this version since;I was awfully afraid I'd never see it again, and I truly loathe the theatrical version. I will be buying this! Rating: - I know MANY people don't like it but I DO!Ok, I really like this movie. A lot of people don't and that's fine. My boyfriend doesn't. Neither does my mom, or dad..or sisters. In fact, no one in my family likes this movie. But, I guess that makes me the odd one. I think I like this movie because, though it is a bit cheesy and lacks any real strong characters, it's still original. I mean, the plot is really good and unique. Another reason why I like this movie is because it helps inspire me when I write (I write stories). Everything from where the people live to their clothes to their attitudes gives me inspiration. I love the world they live in. It's different. So..I just really like this movie. I own it haha. I am such a dork.. Rating: - Finally, the extended cut!I gotta say this but i love this movie and i have been looking forward for the extended cut for a looong time. Wich will give us more! For example we see Helen and Enola standing atop of a cliff watching the Mariner leave before the films end credits. As they are standing there they uncover a plaque which tells us that they are at the peak of Mt. Everest. It would be nice to see this on Blu-ray as well, there is a Hd-dvd version (the original cut) and it looks great on a big screen. Regards --Nick |
