‘“Waterworld” Streaming

“Waterworld”, the $175 million-budgeted, 1995 post-apocalyptic action feature, directed by Kevin Reynolds, stars Kevin Costner, as a ‘Sub-Mariner’ -like mutant, called ‘Mariner’, with gills, webbed feet and wings on his ankles, living in the distant future, where the polar ice caps have melted, and the sea level has risen over 25,000 ft. covering nearly all land, now streaming on Prime Video:

“…in the year 2500, sea levels have put every continent on Earth underwater. 

“The remains of human civilization live on makeshift floating communities built out of scavenged materials known as ‘atolls’, having long forgotten about living on land. 

“Rumors of a ‘Dryland’  still exist, but it is considered a myth by most.

“The ‘Mariner,’, a lone drifter, arrives at an atoll on his trimaran to trade dirt, a rare commodity, for supplies. 

“When the locals see that the Mariner is a mutant, several accost him and he kills one in self-defense. 

“As a result, the Mariner is sentenced to be drowned in a tank of organic sludge. 

“While the Mariner is trapped in the tank, the atoll is attacked by the ‘Smokers’, a formidable pirate gang that has been systematically raiding and destroying atolls…”

Cast also includes Dennis Hopper and Jeanne Tripplehorn.
