Waterworld [DVD]

this is the best version of this film - mad-max-on-water - an underrated masterpiece

It’s so wonderful to have my favourite film on blu ray. Waterworld looks fantastic in high definition and it’s excellent that we have both the theatrical and European cuts of the film included. I also really enjoyed the feature length making of as well . Great value for money and a great movie.

Another film that I saw in the past and enjoy it and I am looking forward to seeing it again.

The quality of the "Ulysses" cut was really outstanding. Director's cuts of old films always tend to have terrible picture quality because finding decent source material for the restored parts is always really difficult. (Like The Wicker Man Director's Cut, Army of Darkness or even, to an extent, the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2). This, on the other hand, was tip top. Although it would have been fascinating to get the full story of what went on between Costner and Reynolds during filming, I don't think at this point that it's ever going to happen and Arrow did a fine job of putting together just about everything that can be found out about this film, especially when you compare it to the completely bare-bone previous versions of this film. Support Arrow's hard work and buy the genuine article rather than getting it torrented. They deserve the reward for all their hard work and they are more likely to do something like this again if this was profitable for them.

I recently ordered the two disc US version featuring the Theatrical release and the Extended Cut (40 mins longer). I simply wanted to see the Extended version, and my review is based on this. Essentially, its the usual thing with the odd scene extended and a few new scenes inserted, some of which are interesting, but not really essential. The most interesting areas are the Atoll and the final Dryland scenes, both have much more in them, and the Atoll scene gives a better view of life on the Atoll and fleshes out Jeane Tripplehorns character a bit. I enjoyed the extended version of this great film, a pity its only availabe in the US. The only thing i noticed with the Extended cut was that one scene had actually been trimmed, the scene where The Deacon interrogates the two prisoners after storming the Atoll; the scene where his henchman shoots the "losing" prisoner is cut ! That was poxy. But still, a 5* rating for this "Mad Max on Water", which is a 5* film anyway.

Waterworld!I remember when it came out in 1995. I was 14 year's old. I remember going to the cinema to watch it. God! I miss the 90's. Anyway. I never saw what all the fuss was about then and still don't now. The Ulysses ✂️ is extraordinary and brings me back more pleasant memories of the 90's than ever. The film, now, in my honest opinion, fits together and it makes more sense. Waterworld will always be a treasure to me, as it's a direct line to my childhood memories. And for that, just like a lot of film's from the 80's and 90's I will hold it dear. Cheesy, I know. But, so what.

Excellent film, very quick delivery thank you

Waterworld is directed by Kevin Reynolds and jointly written by David Twohy, Peter Rader and Joss Whedon. It stars Kevin Costner, Dennis Hopper, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tina Majorino, Michael Jeter and Gerard Murphy. Music is scored by James Newton Howard and cinematography by Dean Semler.It's the future and the polar ice caps have melted and the Earth is practically covered by the sea. As civilisation is forced to live on the water, their only hope is to one day find the fabled place known as Dryland. A Mariner drifter may hold the key to Dryland's whereabouts........It was by definition a troubled shoot, with sackings, difference of opinions, cost overruns, production set backs (hurricane destroying a hugely expensive set) and bad word of mouth generated by a film press intent on giving Kevin Costner a good kicking. Facts are, now that all the water has evaporated over the years, Waterworld is not the flop, nor bad film, that many believe it to be. Should it be a better movie considering the gargantuan amounts of cash spent on it? Absolutely, without question! But Waterworld turned a decent profit in spite of its problems and mixed reviews, and now it firmly has a fan base willing to love it for the great sci-fi escapism that it is. Sadly for the fans, Waterworld is still only (officially) available in the 136 minute cut, thus denying many the chance to see the more cohesive 176 minute version.However, as it is, the 136 cut of the film is still a rollicking water based adventure, full of spectacular stunts (oh my those jet-skis rock), amazing sets (whoosh, the sci-fi grandeur of the floating atoll) and blood pumping scenes (the eerie journey and subsequent revelation of a city under water). Sure it's far from flawless as the pace is uneven at times and as plot narratives go it's pretty thin, but Reynolds and Costner have crafted an impressive world submerged by water. The cast, too, are delivering knowing performances. Costner's Mariner is indeed one note, unsympathetic and moody, this guy is a loner and a mutation after all, his sombre persona neatly playing against Hopper's cartoonish, satirical and maniacal villain. Tripplehorn (a porn star name if ever there was one!) beautifully shines in a film populated predominantly by males (there's another flaw for you), Michael Jeter scores favourably as a highly strung elder, while young Majorino is suitably winsome, neatly playing it as a device to mellow the Mariner's cold fishy heart.If it was meant to be a serious picture in the first place, a sermon on topical destroying of the Earth, then it fails on that score because the characterisations are bound by cliche manacles. But collectively the inhabitants of this Waterworld share a common goal of survival, played out to the backdrop of Reynolds' excellent futuristic setting. When thrust together to make a good v evil action movie, the characterisations work handsomely. That is ultimately the best way to enjoy Waterworld, let it wash over you (hrr hrr hrr) in a wave (hrr, ok I'll stop now) of water based action and heroics. It's a world where soil is currency and smoking is a marker for being a bad guy. From the opening shot of the Universal World logo becoming submerged in water, to the bittersweet finale, yes! Waterworld is indeed escapism in its purest cinematic form. 8/10

Waterworld is a great movie, I saw it when it released in theatres then later on television then I watched the Waterworld show at Universal Studios Hollywood and now at home on DVD I saw the movie again.

La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. La película es de mis favoritas, y verla en formato 4K es genial, viene con audio en español y subtítulos en español.

WaterWorld 4k HDR - Filme muito bom em 4kHDR possui Legendas em Português BR, embora eu não goste possui também áudio em Português, acho que de certa forma mutila o filme de sua forma original, particularmente se for pra assistir um filme dublado prefiro nem assistir. Só lembrando também que a experiência em assistir em Mídia Fisíca em um player 4k nativo numa tela 4k é muito superior aos serviços oficiais de 4k por streaming, pelo menos é o que meus olhos estão vendo, estou tentando mudar por streaming 4k, mas está difícil.... na hora que assisto um filme 4k em BD e depois logo em seguida alterno para o streaming....isso lógico depois que a imagem se estabilizou em 4k na tela..leva alguns segundinhos.

Schon alt aber immer noch super zum anschauen
