Product Description

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

 Product defective!-Junk June 1, 2009
Jonathan Eastman (houston, tx United States)
Item was defective! Was not worth the time and effort to return, shipping and my time and gas would make it cheaper to buy another DVD from a brick and mortar store. Amazon usually has good stuff, but if they keep this kind of practice up, they will go the way of Circuit City.
 The whole movie, the whole movie... May 28, 2009

and nothing but the movie (Well, there are the extras that come with a 2-volume set, of course) but after seeing edited copies of this fine sci-fi/fantasy flick for so long, it's really nice to get every minute of the action. This is a fun film and even more fun w/o the editing.

Did no one do any homework before this turkey was OK'd? IF there were enough water to cover all the land masses on earth, the first place to find land would be Mt. Everest! Being that Mt. Everest is over 29,000 feet high, earth would
#1: Be a perfect iceball. Better to name this movie Ski World.
#2: No one could breathe at 29,000', so all of mankind is either dead from altitude or frozen like popsicles.
Can't Kevin Costner find another plot? Always bad guys come in, take over a territory (Postman, Dances With Wolves, Open Range, Waterworld.) Does no one own a comb or take a bath?
Terrible movie, so many good scripts out there languishing that will never see the light of day! But this crap does!

Been loking for the extended edition for a long time. Saw it ( the long version) on tv, after that I did'nt like missing parts in the cut version. Me and my wife love the move.

Although this movie was poorly rated by the film critics, I really enjoyed it. My recommendation is to take another look.
