I think we can all agree that Water World was universally panned by the human race. However, my own memory of the movie itself is very spotty as I watched it when I was a kid like 30 years ago.
Has anyone seen this movie recently or have a good knowledge of the story?
Is it worth another watch?
It’s probably got a lot to answer for in fearmonger sea level rises when that’s clearly bollox.
Watched it recently. Was happy to see napoleon dynamites girlfriend in it lol. Not as bad as I remember except Kevin Costners character is vile and hard to watch and then has a really poorly executed redemption character arc. Kind of impressive overall for the time, technically though
Financially, it was Kevin Costner's giant fumble. I think simce it was basically "Mad Max on the water", audiences were not impressed. I am in love with sailing, as is our failed Producer/Director/Actor. For that, there are some great sailing shots from a director that doesn't screw up sailboat scenes.
The main protagonists aren't much, but the redeeming quality of the film ends up being the campy portrayal of a comedic relief villain by Dennis Hopper. It's not much, but that's where the value is.
