Product Description:
Universal Waterworld - HD DVD/DVD Combo
Kevin Costner, Dennis Hopper and Jeanne Tripplehorn star in a '10+!' (Gary Franklin, KCOP), turbocharged action-adventure epic, unmatched in sheer excitement and heart-pounding suspense. In this futuristic thriller, Earth is covered with water and the human race struggles to survive on dilapidated boats and makeshift floating cities. Costner portrays a drifter who becomes caught up in the struggle between the evilDeacon (Hopper) and a child's secret key to a wondrous place called 'Dryland.' With refreshing humor, groundbreaking special effects and awe-inspiring action suspense, Waterworld sets a glorious high-water mark for imaginative, thrill-packed entertainment.
Amazon.com:
Let's be honest: this 1995 epic isn't nearly as bad as its negative publicity led us to expect. At the time it was the most expensive Hollywood production in history (it had a Titanic-sized $200 million budget), and the film arrived in theaters with so much controversy and negative gossip that it was an easy target for ridicule. The movie itself, a flawed but enjoyable post-apocalypse thriller, deserves better. Waterworld stars Kevin Costner as the Mariner, a lone maverick with gills and webbed feet who navigates the endless seas of Earth after the complete melting of the polar ice caps. The Mariner has been caged like a criminal when he's freed by Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and enlisted to help her and a young girl (Tina Majorino) escape from the Smokers, a group of renegade terrorists led by Dennis Hopper in yet another memorably villainous role. It is too bad the predictable script isn't more intelligent, but as a companion piece to The Road Warrior, this seafaring stunt-fest is adequately impressive. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - I know MANY people don't like it but I DO!
Ok, I really like this movie. A lot of people don't and that's fine. My boyfriend doesn't. Neither does my mom, or dad..or sisters. In fact, no one in my family likes this movie. But, I guess that makes me the odd one. I think I like this movie because, though it is a bit cheesy and lacks any real strong characters, it's still original. I mean, the plot is really good and unique. Another reason why I like this movie is because it helps inspire me when I write (I write stories). Everything from where ... Read More
Rating:  - Beware: HD DVD can ONLY be played on an HD player
As the title states this DVD can only be played on a special player. Therefore, it was useless to me. My fault. I didn't realize that when I bought it. I thought it was like watching HD television, if you don't have that service, it's just not as clear. I was wrong. An HD DVD REQUIRES and HD player.
I LOVE this movie which is why I was looking for a copy for my library.
Rating: - One of the worst of all time.
Boring!
Boring!!
Boring!!!
Costner was riding high up until this junker.
This movie kind of ruined any credibility he used to have.
One of the worst movies Hollyweird has ever done.
Lame acting, boring direction, a story that could have come from a fifth grade class.
UUGH, Costner sitting on a boat looking at the water, oh joy!!!
I'd put Water World in my top twenty of worst movies of all time ANY DAY.
AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: - Forget what you've heard, it's not that bad.
Thousands of people all over the world want to come out and denounce this movie as terrible. Why? Because some people just don't want to be laughed at for liking something other people don't. This film was HYPED as bad before it even opened. That's right, hyped. It died before it ever got a chance to breathe.
But I watched it in the theater during its initial release and I was absolutely blown away by it. I didn't listen to the hype. I thought for myself. I still love this movie ... Read More
Rating:  - Atmospheric
Yep, as a movie, it kind of did present the same old tired American formula action film in yet another way--no better and no worse than the rest. Still, it ranks among my favorites for the atmosphere. All that water is just a striking thing to me. I gave it a three solely for the atmosphere, which I thought was a weak five. The action and humor by themselves are worth watching once anyway. I don't see that it deserved the negative attention it received any more than any other such film. I associate that ... Read More
