They never deliver quite as much as their titles promise – arguably no film entitled Mega Python v Gatoroid possibly could – but they're still a cavalcade of low-fi sci-fi thrills, which is exactly what Waterworld should have been.
Waterworld movie full cast series#
If all goes well, we'll get either a Waterworld TV series or a brand new movie remake – done the SyFy way, ie made on the cheap, starring a minor pop singer from the 80s and filmed entirely in a rented office that's been lit to look like variously a submarine, a criminal's hideout and the middle of the Pacific Ocean. After protracted contract negotiations, SyFy – the company behind Sharktopus, Arachnoquake and Piranhaconda – is reportedly closing in on Waterworld. Its soundtrack should have been performed on a kazoo and a rubber band stretched over a tissue box, not composed by James Newton Howard.īut now, finally, a version of Waterworld as it should have been made looks set to become a reality. At heart, Waterworld was inherently a B-movie, the sort of film people end up watching drunkenly at 3am. It's not that the film shouldn't have been made more that it shouldn't have been made as a po-faced prospective Oscar contender that cost more to produce than any other film in all of history. It was an ecological parable about a messianic mutant fish-man who drinks his own wee and sells dirt for a living, for crying out loud. With the benefit of hindsight, only an idiot could have expected 1995's Waterworld to be a blockbuster movie.
