January 6th Kevin Costner in...
WATERWORLD
WATERWORLD
I was small when I first say this abomination of a film and upon watching it again at the age of 23 at least ten years later this film has not held up any better. The movie is a long conservation message with some explosions and some very bad performances. I look at this film as one of the films Costner will try to forget and one of the films they will run at 2am on TCM.
The film follows the adventure of Costner a loner simply known as The Mariner. He sails the unending sea and stops at different ports trading what he finds. At a certain port is their is a child with a tattoo on her back that is foretold to be the way to what they call dry land. Costner escapes with the girl and the woman and promises to take them to dry land. The entire time they are being followed by a group called smokers and their evil leader The Deacon (Dennis Hopper).
Why this film fails so hard like other Costner films is because it doesn't know how to edit itself down to a manageable time. It goes and goes from one battle sequence to another with small bits of annoying plot in the middle to some what connect things together.
The other thing that this film has going against it is how bad some of the acting is. Costner is on the other end of JFK and plays this character that is so uninteresting and spouts bad one liners that you don't care if he lives or dies. Also this is one of the worst Hopper Performances I have seen since Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. He plays this villain who is just silly at times.
The film is downright terrible and you feel like you are drowning throughout it Hopefully Costner brings us something better that will elevate us to a more noble movie.
