Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Waterworld' is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. All the stories
I heard about it were negative. Not that it is a good movie but it has its
moments.
In the future the world is one big ocean and there are myths about a place
called Dryland. Kevin Costner is not entirely human anymore and therefor he
must be killed. Jeanne Tripplehorn and a young girl with a tattoo save his
life. The story goes that the tattoo is the way to Dryland. That is a good
reason that a lot of other people want to find the girl, including the
Deacon (Dennis Hopper). He is the leader of the Smokers.
Like I said there are some nice moments in this movie. The sets look pretty
impressive, and the boat Costner is on looks pretty cool too. Some single
action scenes are worth watching and Dennis Hopper and his gang get some
laughs. Still, the movie is filled with clichés and stupid coincidences. For
a mindless action movie this is entertaining enough, nothing more.
