Waterworld, Kevin Costner

Just watched the extended cut of Waterworld. Never seen the movie in any form before.

Just how badly did they edit this movie for the theatrical cut to turn it from this absolute kino to a box office flop? I'll watch it myself eventually, but God, it's such a beautiful movie I can't imagine it getting such bad reviews and not filling theaters.

      They spent a shitload of money on it and it had a difficult production. They just shat on it because it made for a good narrative.

      The film is fine except for the annoying kid.

      they did some pretty stupid and expensive things
      they shot on the open ocean even after Spielberg warned them not to based on his experience with Jaws
      they built a real floating Atol set to use at sea
      it sunk
      it then had to be refloated

        Oh! I guess the movie must be horrible to watch, because they filmed on open ocean when they could have used a cheap tank, etc. Wow those extra expenditures must have made the movie a really bad watch.

        I would honestly love for people like you who fell for the cabal's hit plan on this movie, even though it doesn't make fricking sense, to be removed from the earth. How can you hold your head up as a person when you repeat something which is not only contrived smears, but doesn't even fricking work as smears, as if it does?

            Stop pretending to be a person. You are not a person you are a drone. A husk. Let me tell you this to take back to your hive or whatever to see if they can digest it: When a person watches a movie, they see the frames of the film. They do not see sets that sank and weren't used for filming, and say "this makes the film suck". This is because a) they cannot see this and b) there isn't any reason that an unused set makes the film suck in any way.
            People also cannot see, when they watch the film, a sequence that was envisaged in some creators mind at a time, and then not included in the final script. They do not see it in their minds while they watch the movie playing out negatively in some kind of destruction of value. Ok? Humans just see the frames of the film, which in this film's case, contain an overwhelming amount of stunning action, sets, locations, concepts etc. So please stop pretending to be a human until you can understand these basic facts of reality

        to be fair given what the script called for filming the whole thing in a lake or some kind of massive studio-built water tank might not have been feasible. The whole idea is that there's literally nothing but water as far as you can see in any direction.

        And although it turned out to not be cost effective I think we should acknowledge Costner, the director and the studio for being madlads and doing it the hard way because the practical components of the film worked. The "Mad Max on boats" aesthetic works because they really *are* on boats out in the ocean. The sets really *were*surrounded by water in all directions. It offsets the narrative issues to some extent because for a dumb as the script is in places a lot of the shit you see is very real because its photography and not VFX. The frick do I care how much it cost, I'm just watching the thing

          The new transfer is gorgeous. The sets, the water, the outfits. Horizon and night shots. I throw it on during weekends when I have nothing to do and juts relax and take it all in. I'd be curious to see how many people love Waterworld(like me)also love Blade Runner.

        The original theatrical cut was notoriously edited down to scraps by the studio. An extended cut was released later that filled in a lot of the exposition and character development.

        Adds back in the Smokers following Deacon as an arbiter of "god" that will lewd them to dry land. Puts back in all the cursing and violence that was removed. Also adds way more to the characters and the world, like them finding the things the Mariner trades in. Believing he and the girl are somehow evil and bad luck(Outside if him being a mutant)they see that as him being almost satanic. And a more hopeful ending when they do find the island. There's word that we're getting a follow up taking place directly after the ending. I think everyone is in talks to come back. I've heard tv series like something on HBO. We'll see. Anyway, def watch the Ulysses Cut.

    If you watch the original release it's pretty stupid but it's not awful, it was marketed as mad max on the water but it's just some fish man who drinks his own piss, I haven't watched the extended cut though because the original was long enough I can't imagine what else they would add to an already dull movie
    That said I never enjoyed his movies because they all run forever and nothing seems to happen, Wyatt Earp, robin hood, dances with wolves, the postman

      I watched Dances with Wolves and Wyatt Earp too in their longest versions and I enjoyed them as well.
      It seems like his movies are ones to watch when you're in the mood for a long but passionate movie to lose yourself in. The shortened versions are never the proper experience.

    Calling Waterworld a flop is misusing the term. Flops are movies that lose money because no one goes to see them. But people did go to see Waterworld. It opened at #1 domestically and was one of the highest-grossing films that year. By any normal measure it had a very respectable showing. The problem, of course, is that it cost so goddamn much that it need to be one of the most successful films of all time to really offset its budget. So it was not an *immediately* profitable film. But it did eventually make some profit because, again, it didn't actually bomb.

    Waterworld's worldwide gross exceeded its budget even if you include marketing costs and yes before you start screeching I know the studios split the receipts with the theaters but the point is that if you look at films that *actually* bombed their gross was a mere fraction of its costs. Ishtar grossed about 1/4 of its budget. Cutthroat Island grossed about 1/5th of its budget. Pluto Nash grossed less than 1/10. Waterword is more on the level of something like Blade Runner 2049 where people did go see it and it did have some legs but didn't become the huge phenomenon it needed to be to offset its massive cost (2049 is a much better film but I'm just talking about money here).

    Anyway, I'm sorry for the blogpost but this is a pet peave of mine. I was fricking there. People liked Waterworld fine, they just didn't love it. This idea that it was playing to empty theaters and no one saw it is bullshit. IT WAS THE BIGGEST MOVIE IN THE COUNTRY AT ONE POINT. This is fricking revisionist history and it pisses me off.

      This is correct. Another thing is it's widely known as a flop because of the early coverage by magazines and journos that were mad they weren't allowed on or near set again after theu wrote disparaging things. After that it was hit piece after hit piece. See Kotaku/Nintendo recently for the same kind of behavior. They were told to frick off and couldn't cope.

        It's actually exactly what the ((media)) tried to do to Cameron when he was making Titanic except it literally became the most successful film of all time so they all had to eat shit. I don't know why they choose certain projects to sabotage pre-emptively but I suspect it has something to do with the director being dismissive of reporters and not doing the usual media bullshit. Costner and Cameron can both be a little prickly.

      Waterworld also comes from a time where movies had some other built in revenue. The cable airing rights for example, those helped get Waterworld into the black as well. It actually did well ratings wise on TV too, which kept it in a lot of cable rotations. VHS rentals also helped cover it's losses.

      This stuff does not exist anymore in the same way it used to. So when people compare box office it does need to pointed out the era of time its from. Ghostbusters 2 for example was heavily sought after before the movie even came out, there was a bidding war over its TV airing rights. ABC's two night event for Waterworld drew in big ratings, this may well have cost ABC 2 million to do that.

      What if they just built a set that was docked to a pier and could be rotated as needed?

      They didn't want the saves or for it to look like they were right next to a land mass. That said, there are indeed locations in the world where you could have filmed right next to land. Someone one time posted examples of how you could get the 180 appearance of open calm ocean from various places. What happened was hollywood. The production was determined to avoid it being an "overseas" shoot. And it being in hawaii, it technically was not. For all legal and tax purposes, it was an american production. This obviously ended up fricking them rather than helping them. They should have done a location shoot somewhere else with rotateable sets like you say and it could have ended up saving the production 10-30m dollars.

          Sort of, I've worked on a few productions here and there, nothing as big as waterworld. I was lucky enough to do a production on the universal back lot once.

        I'm not from the US but wasn't Waterworld one of the main attractions at Universal Florida that lasted like 20 years? They probably got some revenue from that too.

          That made it a valuable IP. As far the studio making money off that, it's not the same.

    It was a profound failure in everyone's minds before it was even released. Kevin Costner was bland wholesome middle American everyman personified. That was the role he filled in the American psyche. You can't tear him out of that context and put in him the middle of some weird steampunk apocalyptic ocean future with dreads and gills and shit. Wtf. Shit I'm getting angry just thinking about that betrayal of American innocence.

    Outside of the most obvious additions to the Ulysses cut, the one that stood out to me the most was seeing children in the Deez, I don't remember that in the theatrical. Probably a sensitive choice considering how the mariner blew up the entire thing.

        Serious question do black people not have good builds for swimming? Seems weird they dominate the running Olympics but they're never in the swim running.

          I've heard explanations and all of them are "systemic racism" as to why they can't swim. Aren't public pools a thing in bad parts of town?

              Yeah, I guess you're right. I watch Survivor with the missus and we're consistently surprised when a black contestant can't swim well/at all. I always thought it was just a funny joke.

          Blacks mostly have little tissue body fat, they are all muscle and bone, no natural buoyancy. I am white but was extremely skinny as a kid, I had the same problem, never "learned" to swim.

    Basically got dogpiled by the press because not liking Kevin Costner was in at the time. At worst it's a mid-tier blockbuster with some impressive sets and stunt work. Doesn't deserve to be considered "bad" at all.
