I'd forgotten how thoroughly ruthless and unlikeable the Atoll's inhabitants, along with #KevinCostner's Mariner, start off in this movie, but damn if #JamesNewtonHoward's pirate inspired soundtrack doesn't elevate this with a sense of high adventure.
Thankfully #DennisHopper's hillariously villainous Deacon brings an insane levity to the vicious world.
Is the #UlyssesCut better? It's got more worldbuilding, but sometimes less is more.

@kcarr2015@mstdn.social Thanks for the reminder. WATERWORLD is for me like GODFATHER III and Hawaiian pizza. Things that most people gleefully announce they dislike. I like all three, and wouldn't mind having all three again soon. :-) As for a "Ulysses Cut," amazingly, this is the very first time I've ever heard of the existence of such a thing. And now I definitely need to hunt for it and watch it. So thanks for mentioning it!
