Waterworld Extended Edition (2008)


Waterworld is one of my favorite movies, even though it was one of the biggest box office flops in history. Now with the extended edition, fans get 40 more minutes of deleted scenes not seen in the original version. Does the extra material help? I say absolutely. The extra footage gives a greater insight into the world and culture of Waterworld.

When people first see this movie, many are drawn to the central story and action scenes. However, it is the atmosphere and struggle of the everyday people are that is really fleshed out in the Extended Edition. The extended scenes gives more haunting details of Waterworld society and how much time has passed since true civilization existed. The viewer really gets a sense of the desolation and despair of living in Waterworld, which comes from the scarcity and death that pervades every scene.

Also, I made this video of Kevin Costner being the biggest asshole ever in Waterworld:
