Waterworld is one of my favourite movies.
I love Waterworld. It’s a classic. PPPPPPPPAPER.

A lot of people, including Kevin Costner think it's a bad movie, I think it's awesome.
It got a bad return, which is even worse from the perspective of the studio. It was just an absolute production clusterfuck. From stunt coordination in aquatic environments to building an entire goddamn aquatic environment when the weather refused to work with the filming schedule, it was just an absolute nightmare for everyone involved.

I enjoyed it as a kid when it came out. I don't think I've watched it again as an adult. I just saw the "it was a shit show" episode on it a few days ago and that was interesting. I agree that a big fault is conflicting images and directions as well as all that was cut for length. We didn't have the LotR movies being forever long back then to point to
