WATERWORLD(1995)
This is a fun movie, but totally unbelievable!! One of the
problems of this is it's really long at almost 2 and a half
hours! Another is that Costner plays a dick at the first!
But it does turn around and becomes fun if you stick to it! B+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
The Mariner (Kevin Costner) is a loner sailing his jerry-rigged
trimaran through a world of water. Dry land has become mythical.
He battles pirates known as Smokers and thieves that roam the
ocean. He freedives with his gills to salvage from the drowned
cities. He arrives at a floating settlement to trade his recovered
dirt. The locals discover him to be a mutant and take him prisoner.
The town is attacked by the Smokers led by the Deacon (Dennis
Hopper). Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and Enola (Tina Majorino)
rescue the Mariner and they escape. Enola has a tattoo on her
back which could point to dry land.
This is an infamous financial failure although it's not a
complete cinematic failure. I really like the concept of
a waterworld and some of the action. There are still many
problems which keep me from recommending this movie. Dennis
Hopper is too much of a cartoon villain. He needs to be more
realistic to be threatening. It's trying to follow the Mad
Max model but it doesn't quite work. Also for a water-borne
adventure, this really lacks a storm sequence. It should
be simple to transfer Mad Max onto the waters but I stop
caring once they get on the tanker. I like the world of
the trimaran a lot more and wish they stay there. - SnoopyStyle
