this is amazing movie!

9.5 I've always loved this movie, and compared to cr@p modern movies this is a master piece. Just watched Steven Seagull's Under Siege and guess what, that mindless juvenile movie which I loved when I was 12 but disliked it as an adult is also a million times better than all modern movies.

3/10, same as the whole movie.

People hated this movie?

I agree. I liked it. Dennis shoppers character was amazing

@@parker99able I remember it described (accurately, I thought) as "not nearly as bad as the reviews made it out to be but not nearly as good as its budget should have made it".

It was they went out onto the ocean itself instead of doing it on a sound stage and thus cost more money

It was an utter disappointment because of how poorly it resembled the great novel on which it was based. Had it been an original work, instead of an adaptation, it would have been better received.

That relies on favorable winds thought and the sea state didn't indicate any significant wind in any direction. But yeah, movie magic I guess.

I was just about to drop a comment asking if anyone knew about the speeds of the boats and jet skis. Thank for the info dude 🤟

those racing boats are crazy, my sailboat goes 5-7 knots on a good day, like most. hell of a lot more comfortable than that thing though.

@@T-800.. No problem 🙂

@@nanomage Movie magic indeed.

exactly marine mad max- perfect description!

All the bad press during the production got during the making and the cost didn't help.

@@robertkees6048 They made a profit in the end. Lots.

@@redrobotmonkeySure, that's because everyone loves mail.

@@robertkees6048 No idea what that means.This has nothing to do with the postman.

Ha. Well you certainly are your own man.

Somehow I think u are at the age from 40 to 45

same. those two were comfies

Costner did some amazing films, neither of these were those though.

that may be but I still enjoy them.@@GG-qo4qo

Especially since the limes were likely the only source of Vitamin C for him. But at least the drifter got smoked.

Same. My favorite part was when he cut both of the girl’s hair and asked them if something was wrong afterwards and they were both like “Nope! Everything’s fine!” 😂😂😂

Great scene! Most people I've watched it with miss the irony/sarcasm in that scene. A few parts were silly or underdeveloped but overall an incredibly entertaining movie. Fun Fact: there are different versions. One of them explains the "Dry Land" they find at the end is actually the top of Mt. Everest. Cool cool movie.

Yeah it was necessary, the plot was so lame this actually held everyone's attention waiting for the next cool thing it might do. As cheesy as it was this was a great flick.

Clearly not memorised enough kid. It's "heeee is a mutant!"

I like the glass eye bit: Kid: it looks like shit Deacon: I love kids . It DOES look like shit! And it Feels like Cold Shit!

90's action movies were basically amusement park rides. Just simple fun without much thought required. This movie isn't deep or complex or whatever, but it's definitely entertaining. You sit on the couch and cheer for the Mariner while you chomp down some snacks.

С годами все стало немного ближе к реальности. Сейчас , просматривая заключительные кадры фильма - кушать уже не хочется. 😮

the grime probably protects your skin from sunburn, so it make sense not to be too clean

Good point, I think European sailors might have been pretty gross too. Maybe some thing to do with lack of nutrients

Ha ha. I thought it was good. Everyone makes good points.

tough to wash with salt water...with or without soap

@@danstrayer111 Salt water still gets dirt off you, but doing so would dehydrate you i think

its fantasy entertainment, not a documentary....lol

It does exist. Not as a working ship but one of the two Trimarans is still a working sailboat without the spectacular effects.

Kevin Costner paid a lot of money to actually film a lot of this in the ocean. Sometimes its magic, and sometimes its just money.

it actually turned a profit. I don't know why people think it "flopped"

Always has been!

SailGP and AC are just fancy shallow sea regattas. At the moment two solo Ultimates skippers are flying side by side at 35 knots in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean in pitch black conditions...

Great comment/truth spot!

I very much liked the Postman. Nothing better than the way it ended between the Postman and Bethlehem when they finally brought their two armies together, but I especially like the way it builds up that its the little things that lead to building up civilization. How bringing communication back sparked the fire in everyone to stand together again instead of apart. In the end, nothing beats the final scene where you learn what became of the world he ended up bringing so much happiness to by putting on a dead man's uniform and trying to con a hot meal out of a nearby town.

never heard of anyone disliking this movie.

pretty much

In Florida, they still had it in Summer 2022.

@@PeterHonnice!!

Well, no. It actually lost money, and it just break even when the movie released on home video. The movie was nominated for a Razzie for the Worst Movie that year, and Denis Hopper actually won the Razzie for the worst supporting actor. You cannot classify this movie as a "blockbuster". We were kids, this movie was cool back then for us. That's all.

GOLDEN SPOT!!!! Much appreciation for that!
