Waterworld (1995)

Waterworld: Directed by Kevin Reynolds. With Kevin Costner, Chaim Jeraffi, Rick Aviles, R.D. Call. In a future where the polar ice-caps have melted and Earth is almost entirely submerged, a mutated mariner fights starvation and outlaw “smokers,” and reluctantly helps a woman and a young girl try to find dry land.

“I want the Costner bashers to sit down and watch u0026quot;Rebirth of the Mothra IIIu0026quot; on Sci-Fi Channel some time. Then theyu0026#39;ll know that they have seen the worst movie ever made.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Waterworldu0026quot; is an escapist fantasy/action picture, not unlike the James Bond and Indiana Jones pictures. Costneru0026#39;s performance works on exactly the same level as the Connery/Moore/Brosnan portrayals of 007 and Harrison Fordu0026#39;s portrayal of Indy — straightforward, grim, stoic, a little mean-spirited, a little cruel, unafraid of dirt, grime, death, or salt water.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not perfect by any means. Iu0026#39;m sure Costner hacked it to pieces in order to accommodate the two-hour-running-time maxim imposed by the studio, so that corporate could get their investment back. Now is the time for the extended DVD version; maybe that will explain where all those cigarettes came from, and how the Smokers converted raw crude into gasoline.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e7 out of 10. Costner bashers should get over themselves and start giving Michael Bay and George Lucas what they deserve.”
