Waterworld [Blu-ray]

Sci-fi at its best

I should address one thing first. If you are buying it for Blu-ray, you'll be very disappointed. It is not sharp and clear like Blu-ray should be. The best description is that it is grainy, though it is not a bad quality. The regular version is a great movie, but I would not say it is better than some other end-of-the-world movies. This movie shows you what we have been missing due to Hollywood's short-sightedness. The Ulysses Cut has you coming away feeling you just watched something great here. It is of the nature of the first time Planet of the Apes came out. It was so great that few people knew what they had before it came out. But isn't that Hollywood's job? To know great movies? Yet, they cut the heck out of them and make a story bare-bones rather than a great story. I no longer like the theatrical release of Water World. The only version I will watch is the Ulysses Cut. I highly recommend this movie.

Good movie

Kevin's name in the movie is unknown. But that's okay.But he does have gills & strange looking feet. & is a great swimmer. Ya'll heard that oldie song (Solitary Man)? I don't know the artist. That's what Kevin Costner is in this movie, A solitary man. & from what I understand he likes being solo. Land just doesn't seem to exist. All there is are town like figures called Atoll's. A place where you can get supplies or tomato plants. & if you got dry dirt you can use it like money for a trade on supplies. Gee they don't sell much do they? No shaving cream tooth paste or even Ice cream. You can't even buy a bag of ice or a diet doctor pepper there! Before the Loner whom I'm calling solitary man arrives at the Atoll there is a scene that should have been on my Blu-ray disc. There's an old man trying to make a deal by cutting & giving them some of his hair, A homeless guy. But the chief of security refuses to open the gates & let him in. For some odd reason they cut out some scenes. I'm displeased that not every part of the movie is there. & he soon shows up. The chief of security fellow warns him, don't look for trouble while your here. You'll find more then you can handle. I guess the people thought the solitary guy was taking advantage of them. & they refuse to let him leave. & take him prisoner. Atoll's are okay if they treat you right. They're weary of the Smokers, those guys on the marine looking ski boats & Jet ski's. Most are in definite need of a paint job. Some of the Atolls have got some Spy Smokers around. & they try finding out who's the culprit. The king or president whatever you want to call him, the man everyone admires (Dennis Hopper) is the leader of these Smokers who'll attack any Atoll. In search of the little girl the tattoo's on her back giving directions to the dry land. Helen & Enola help him escape when the Smokers attack. They try hard in making a deal if we get you out of here, you'll take us to dry land okay. So he takes them.I like his boat! Its not like most boats. There are all sorts of contraptions. I do understand why all 3 of them had a tough time getting along. If your a guy like me, take my advice. Women can be hard to put up with!In the beginning he's not very patient, Piss him off & he'll hit you with a paddle, Whack your out cold, cut your hair with his knife, you name it. & he's picky as ever about someone messing with his boat! Let me put it in plain English. He was worse then moody like behavior!Well Kevin? I'd be the same way! Their mission is to lose the Smokers if possible, & try to find Gregor & the rest of the group. & he learns to be nicer. & then becomes a constant protector.When the girl is kidnapped he'll stop at nothing to retrieve her. So he finds the huge ship with no engine. Has to be rowed by hand by about 50 people or so.There must have been 1000 people on board or so. & an old man trapped inside the oil room who's very thin & has a boat at the bottom.So he faces everyone & blows up the ship. Except for Dennis whoever he is in the movie. I'm not too good at remembering names. Dennis Hopper does make the pretty good bad guy! & kidnaps Enola a second time only for few minutes as they're taking off in their hot air balloon.After a few days & nights they finally reach dry land, which has wild horses & things. Everybody seems content except for the loner, he said it doesn't move right.Enola assumed it was land sickness. Maybe for the rest of them, just not him.Good movie!You might not like Kevin Costner's negative side.What I do know is in this movie he is different than he was in (Dances with Wolves). What we see in most movies or TV shows, is that the most extreme good guys & bad guys violent attitudes just aren't combined to face each other head, on, for example I'd love to see the loner guy hit his enemy with a paddle or try & cut his hair, try his tough guy business with someone his own size! & see them wrestle around!! I'd love that. I mean, you understand what I'm saying people? The movies good, yet a lot of stuff just isn't matched up like it should have been! This one not being the only one!He's one tough Hombre!!!!!!!!!! & tolerant only about certain things.He was sort of an outlaw, or you can say he acted like one, & got better & better as the movie went on.

Underrated film, always. Even better in 4k
