Waterworld (1995)
After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. few humans survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner, have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen and young companion, Enola as they escape from a hostile artificial island. Soon the Smokers are pursuing them in the belief that Enola holds the key to finding the mythical Dry land.

I had no idea what the characters were thinking half the time, but I had an excellent idea what they were feeling, physically.

It's one of those marginal pictures you're not unhappy to have seen, but can't quite recommend.

It's a genuine vault at greatness that misses the mark -- but survives.

Regardless of faults, I embrace Waterworld as the pure matinee escapism it was intended to be, readily devouring the sci-fi excitement both Reynolds and Costner are happy to dish up.

If the story seems a little waterlogged, it's still big, loud, and fun to watch.

While it is true that time, and the obsessive culture of the Internet, has lessened Waterworld's "Fishtar" reputation to some extent, this is still one massively flawed film.

Waterworld isn't Fishtar, but Kevin Costner's pricey, post-apocalyptic sloshbuckler isn't a seafaring classic either.

Has the makings of a cult movie.

Waterworld drowned in bad buzz during its theatrical release. It deserves a better fate.

It's borderline halfway decent. For the first 25 minutes or so, it's even actually good, in its derivative way.

A moderately successful guy's movie with both weak and strong elements where lots of things are brilliantly blown up and few things make any kind of sense.
