They are pursued by the Smokers, and though they escape, Helen's naïve actions result in damage to the Mariner's boat, and he angrily cuts her hair. The three escape to open sea aboard the trimaran.
Helen instead rescues the Mariner and insist he take the two of them with him. Enola's guardian, Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn), attempts to escape with Enola on agas balloon with Gregor (Michael Jeter), an inventor, but the balloon is released too early. Just then, the atoll is attacked by Smokers, a band of pirates that raid the atoll seeking a girl named Enola (Tina Majorino) who, according to their leader the Deacon (Dennis Hopper), has a map to Dryland tattooed on her back. The atoll's residents see the Mariner is a mutant with gills and webbed feet, and decide to drown him in a brine pool. The Mariner (Kevin Costner), a sole drifter, arrives on his trimaran to trade dirt, a rare commodity, for other supplies. The remains of human civilization live on ramshackle floating communities known as atolls, having long forgotten about living on land, though believe there is a mythological "Dryland" somewhere in the world. Long after the melting of the polar ice caps in the 21st century, the sea levels have covered every continent on Earth. Universal Studios Hollywood had closed it down for refurbishment, but had it re-opened in April 2017. The film's release was accompanied by a tie-in novel, video game, and three themed attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood, Universal Studios Singapore, and Universal Studios Japan called Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular, which are all still running as of 2020. The film was also nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Sound at the 68th Academy Awards. The film also was unable to recoup its massive budget at the box office however, the film did later become profitable due to video and other post-cinema sales.
The most expensive film ever made at the time, Waterworld was released to mixed reviews, praising the futuristic setting and premise but criticizing the characterization and acting performances. The plot of the film centers on an otherwise nameless antihero, "The Mariner", a drifter who sails the Earth in his trimaran. The film illustrates this with an unusual variation on the Universal logo, which begins with the usual image of Earth, but shows the planet's water levels gradually rising and the polar ice caps melting until nearly all the land is submerged. The polar ice caps have completely melted, and the sea level has risen over 7,600 m (25,000 feet), covering nearly all of the land. Although no exact date was given in the film itself, it has been suggested that it takes place in 2500. The setting of the film is in the distant future. It was distributed by Universal Pictures. It was based on Rader's original 1986 screenplay and stars Kevin Costner, who also produced it with Charles Gordon and John Davis. Costner bashers should get over themselves and start giving Michael Bay and George Lucas what they deserve.Wonderful is a 1995 American post-apocalyptic science fiction action film directed by Kevin Reynolds and co-written by Peter Rader and David Twohy. 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.ħ out of 10. I’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. Costner’s performance works on exactly the same level as the Connery/Moore/Brosnan portrayals of 007 and Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Indy - straightforward, grim, stoic, a little mean-spirited, a little cruel, unafraid of dirt, grime, death, or salt water. "Waterworld" is an escapist fantasy/action picture, not unlike the James Bond and Indiana Jones pictures. Then they’ll know that they have seen the worst movie ever made.
I want the Costner bashers to sit down and watch "Rebirth of the Mothra III" on Sci-Fi Channel some time.
