Waterworld (1995)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 125m
Director: Kevin Reynolds
Cast: Kevin Kostner, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Dennis Hopper

Synopsis:

Earth of the future has been flooded by the melting of the ice caps and a wandering mutant shares the seas with beleaguered communities and rampaging 'Smokeys', all dreaming of dry land.

Review:

Once one accepts that nothing is going to be explained (how food and drinking water are obtained, why there is still fossil fuel after hundreds of years) and that the seas of the future are perpetually calm beneath an untroubled sky, this Mad Max-style actioner contains some amusing touches specific to its element, breathtakingly implausible set pieces, and an unsympathetic hero (Costner lionized beyond belief) whom we first see drinking his own urine. Hopper is almost more likeable!
