It is far beyond its time when made, and one day will be recognised as one of the better masterpeices of true Science Fiction.

I know it was not a huge success and it cost more than it made back , but that does not stop it being a marvell of a story.

Sez me anyway, and I have now watched this 5 times and will no doubt watch it again and again .

Waterworld is the story of a flooded Earth after the apocalypse, with Kevin Costner playing a human with mutated elements that allow him to swim like a fish and breathe using gills behind his ears. After finding a little girl with a map tattooed on her which points to legendary ‘land’, Costner is left to protect the young girl from ‘smokers’ who are out to get her – the foremost villain being played by Dennis Hopper. Kevin Costner put so many of his millions into this movie and it was very difficult to live up to the pre-release hype - infamous for its bad reviews. But this is unfortunately rather underrated, and within the excellent and obviously high budget set lies a cast of excellent actors and an abundance of fast-paced action which is well worth a watch. Particularly exceptional in this movie is Hopper, who deliciously overacts the role of cartoon baddie to a wonderful effect.
