I thought it's good from recent viewing, no nostalgia involved because i never watched it back then. Wouldn't mind for another one in that setting though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 child) It was the most expensive movie ever made at the time, which attracted a lot of criticism. It made a profit though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baronvonj@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago For some reason some people thought "it's just Mad Max on water" would make other people not want to see it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago I think the movie is amazing, but it was generally panned as an expensive flop. I think the setting is really interesting and the practical effects were out of this world permalink fedilink source parent [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 months ago* Waterworld was a flop that got a reappraisal, and is now considered a pretty cool movie. It was really a victim of a critical wall that was against it from the start. That happens with some movies. Babylon is another. That's going to get a reappraisal at some point, and become a cult classic. Showgirls is going through a reappraisal, and people are starting to see it differently. It was a Paul Verhoeven movie, of course it was great. permalink fedilink source parent [–] electrotabby@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago Yes!
