You might be wondering if there’s a good movie on Netflix to watch while you work out Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga on the streamer. Luckily, there’s a little movie next door called Mad Max Water world is now streaming on Netflix, and you can add it to your queue to play right after you see George Miller’s visions of the wasteland. Although Water world may have been an understated box office disappointment in 1995, time has been kind to this delightfully odd and budget-bloated dystopian epic from director Kevin Reynolds.
If you want to see what $175 million looks like in 1995 money, Water world must be your next watch on Netflix.
Mad Max with boats
Best way to describe Water world before streaming on Netflix is ”Road warrior with ships.” There is a gilled man known as the Sailor (Kevin Costner) lives on the coolest modified trimaran you’ve ever seen and trades dirt—the hottest commodity of the future—for supplies on various atolls since the land has been long gone. Although there are rumors out there of a mythical place called “The Dry Land”, no one can find it in the year 2500.
The sailor is a loner, but when he is captured after a violent altercation with a local, he is rescued by a woman named Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn), who agrees to help him escape if he brings her and a girl named Enola (Tina Majorino) along with him on his ornate trimaran .
Smokers will smoke
You may not be fully ready to watch Water world on Netflix because we haven’t even addressed Smokers yet. This gang of post-apocalyptic pirates led by The Deacon (Dennis Hopper) is about as stupid as it sounds, but their willingness to antagonize the Mariner and his new friends is commendable, and you have to respect Deacon’s guts for being so proudly out. out of pocket. To say the least, I’m impressed with Deacon’s ability to keep his composure during the intense action sequences despite the fact that he chain smokes about 1,000 cigarettes over the course of it. Water world if I had to make an educated guess.
So what is the conflict?
Enola is revealed to have a tattoo on the back of her neck, and this tattoo is said to be a map to the still elusive Dry Land. Both Deacon and Helen know this, and the Mariner eventually finds out, which ticks him off because he’s sure there’s no dry land anywhere on Earth and has the underwater receipts to prove it.
If you need more compelling streaming Water world on Netflix, I don’t know what to tell you. There’s drama, action, and a vaguely steampunk aesthetic that grabs your attention, and by the time you get to the third act, it can get a little emotional.
Water World Streaming
Water world it may have been the most ambitious (and expensive) flop of its time, but now that it is streaming on Netflix.
Misunderstood? Absolutely. Grapes? Your mileage may vary.
just remember Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga it didn’t do too well in theaters either, and most die-hard fans of George Miller’s post-apocalyptic series will call it a cinematic masterpiece of the highest order.
Eventually, home movie sales became a profitable film, Water world so ahead of its time that the world just needed to catch up.
Now that Water world is readily available to stream on Netflix, you can experience for yourself the vast expanses of water, the relentless war journey of the Smokers, and the desire to put your feet on solid ground after being dragged into the narrative for 135 minutes.
Water world it doesn’t reinvent the wheel with its themes and message by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, there are almost no wheels Water world at all! But if you’re tired of watching the world burn and prefer your end times to involve a massive flood, then this is the movie for you.
As of this writing, you can stream Water world on Netflix.
