It was like mad max but in the ocean

I've always really liked this movie, I was ten years old when I watched Waterworld for the first time and I've probably watched it at least a hundred times in the decades since. I really like how nearly the entire movie was shot with practical effects, aside from the CGI giant fish attack it is a movie that I would consider as timeless, to a first time viewer it would be hard to pin down when it was made if it weren't for that CGI fish attack. But yeah, numbers, I think I'm going to give it a 9.5/10, with the CGI fish being the sole reason for the -.5, it just looks so awfully dated now, much like George Lucas's CGI edits of Star Wars in the 90's (I want the original, uncut, untouched theatrical release that is harder to find than a leprechaun's gold at midnight🙄), the CGI add-ons look so out of place and are not needed. Practical effects, including miniatures, are the best all the time, I'm sick of all the CGI in movies these days, producers are really overdoing it. Practical effects lend a serious sense of reality, where CGI can be spotted in a heartbeat and takes from the immersion, which in essence is a large role in my love for Waterworld, it makes it feel like a real and believable world (except for the damn fish lol).

9/10.

Your video is an 8/10,over all this movie was really good, better than Most MCU movies.

8.5/10 mad max is one of my fave older movies and this gives the same vibes.

I've never thought of it that way. 100% accurate.

Sounds like a fan theory

Could be in same universe.

This was probably the pitch 😂

yes, it is old as world statement

That's why you like it. Keep this memory forever and don't let anyone say it was a bad movie.

signed in to agree with you

Agree. Seen it many times since it came out. It was GOLD to see back then.

It never made sense to me why it got bad reviews, this was a great movie. Someone must have made enemies in the entertainment business...

It was an inventive and compelling story.

Agreed, I've always watched it when those very few chances happened over the years.

That sounds awesome

That so cool. I loved this movie as a kid!

That's impressive. Must have been nice.

😊

Where were you filming?

Yes, loved it!

It was a huge flop. It grossed $88m, putting it in 10th place in 1995 for box office earnings, but it's a flop because it was extraordinarily expensive and that $88m was only like 50% of it's filming budget, nevermind marketing and whatnot.

It was the first movie to cost $200+ million to make (bad weather via a hurricane, salt water corroding the props, weeks before film shooting could restart, etc) Also They didn't have green/ blue screen tech OR graphics like now.

Lol....

Lol

so would I

Just like "The 13rd Warrior" or "13nd Warriors" (depending on your country), higly hated by the critics but also have a lof of fans. I read somewere that this was the last of those 90's super productions due the high amount of money the spend (producing and everthing) making those big sets. They only got 1/3 of what they spend and changed Hollywood forever aparently... Sad because even without any CGI or special effects they make you belive that Waterworld was real...

I remember hearing a good description of it at the time it came out: "not as bad as all the critics were saying it was, but not as good as its budget should have made it." Personally, I'd never call it "brilliant" but it was fun to watch.

This movie is a retahded cheese fest. Unfortunately, it’s not bad enough to be “so bad, it’s good”

Expensive

That makes no sense, wasn't he able to swim down and grab some at will

​@@hansolo631 And if you're normal human you'll be dead/ got your eardrum explode because such immense pressure in depth ocean. Have you ever put your attention while watching the scene?

Well back then people didn’t really understand the consequences of climate changes as well as today…
