Hello, cinema fans. Today I'm going to talk to you about a film that blends action and science fiction very well. Highly underrated since its theatrical release and subsequently forgotten, this film has become a cult classic over time due to its interesting idea of an aquatic, post-apocalyptic world. Despite its production problems and initial box office losses, this film offered something different among the wide r…More

I remember when *Waterworld* was getting marketed like mad in my youth. We were all so excited about what was at that time the most expensive movie ever made and it starred Kevin Costner, who at that point in his career seemed to be incapable of doing anything wrong. We lined up at the theaters like good little lemmings only to be subjected to a film that was actually nowhere near as incredible as we had hoped it wo…More

Greetings! We all know or those that are old enough to understand that Global Warming is an existential threat to us humans. Governments all over the world are already taking steps to combat global warming with little to no effect. Every year as I watch documentaries about global warming the polar ice caps are the most talked about subject because it is currently melting at a steady pace therefore making the level o…More
Source WaterWorld (1995) was Kevin Costner's obsession with creating an aquatic version of MadMax, with all the implications that entailed. Despite the existence of computer-generated effects at the time of filming (Jurassic Park was released two years earlier), Costner steadfastly refused to use them. The challenging conditions of filming at sea only compounded the difficulty of the shoot, resulting in a fin…More
Hello hivers, I hope you all are well today. I just saw the movie Waterworld, a few days ago this weekend. Sharing this on my quest to publish a couple of posts a week haha. The film brings back memories from my youth, the good old 90's. Have you seen it? I have seen the movie several times, it is from 1995 and a classic for me. 😃 It is a sci-fi adventure that takes place in a future where the earth is submerged in…More
The waters cover the land as the ice of the polar ice caps have melted due to the greenhouse effect. The people who survived try to survive in cities built on silver floating forms or atolls (a kind of reef). Violence reigns, and the main occupation of the people was the search for fresh water. The survivors hold out hope that one day they will set foot on dry land. An old legend indicated that somewhere there was d…More
I think that my opinion has a lot to do with the fact that I really like Kevin Costner and think he is one of the best actors of my lifetime. When *Waterworld* was released a lot of people jumped the gun to say that it was a terrible movie and that it was money wasted. I'm not saying this is a cinematic masterpiece or anything but I think it gets a lot more hate than it deserves. src at just under $200 million in pr…More
I don't know what I was doing in 1995 the prevented me from going to see this in theaters or even a few years later when it was released to DVD but I never saw this movie until yesterday. I have heard over the years that the movie was awful and I took that to heart. After watching it yesterday, I can see where people get that opinion from but I don't entirely agree with the idea that this movie is without merit. src…More
