Waterworld
Waterworld
In a future where the polar ice-caps have melted and Earth is almost entirely submerged, a mutated mariner fights starvation and outlaw "smokers," and reluctantly helps a woman and a young girl try to find dry land.

On my first and only visit to the Mall of America I rode an indoor roller coaster and then dad took me to see Waterworld.
Watching the Ulysses Cut which is like 40 min longer than the theatrical. Just kinda fleshing things out way more. I didnt mind it but it does slow down the movie some. From what little i can remember cause its been prob 2 decades if not more that ive seen this.
This is far from perfect but man does it have some really cool highs. With a ton of them coming from Dennis Hopper who is absolutely hilarious in this role. I had several laugh out loud moments with him. When i read that he won a golden raspberry for this role, that just makes me hate that organization even more. Dare i say his overall role is just the blueprint for immorten joe. But way more hilarious. The genre comes full circle.
There is a lot of things that dont work but there is a lot of things that do work. Including Costner where his lack of range doesnt get in the way of this role. All in all too its a cool world with some great world building.
Next time i log this movie i will tell another strange coincidence story that has to do with this movie.
