The theatrical cut was heavily cut down, they edited out a lot of the less actiony scenes to give it more of a blockbuster feel. But then when they were re-cutting it for TV they had to cut it down again, because a lot of the actiony scenes were too violent for the censors. So to pad out the runtime and compensate for those missing action scenes they edited back in a lot of what they'd edited out of the theatrical cut. The Ulysses Cut is a fancut consisting of the theatrical version, including all of the action scenes that didn't make the TV cut, but also including all of the extra stuff they put into the TV cut.
Nothing major, the story beats are mainly the same, it's the same story. Just a lot of scenes are longer, or interstitial scenes are included that flesh out the characters better, make the movie move more smoothly from one plot point to the next instead of jumping around.
All those years watching and enjoying it on tv I was really surprised to find out it got shit on so much on release
Main problem was that Costner released a shit cut into theaters that made it look much worse than it was. Any movie would look bad if it was butchered that way.

hating them is so dumb, tbh I would be jealous and worship them like gods. They are literal Ubermensch in that world
Probably written by someone who doesn't get racism. Then again the whole gill thing was written by someone who doesn't understand natural selection so yeah.
one of the most comfy actors to ever exist. 3 hours of pure comfy-ness and being able to completely forget a shitty real world exists outside the movie
The problem was the budget made expectations super high. They spent over $200 million at a time when it was still rare for movies to have a $100 million budget. Today it would all be done with green screens and cgi but looking back, I think we can all appreciate the practical effects today.
Because disney movies' budgets go like this: 200 million $ spent on marketing, 50 million $ to pay Robert Downey Jr., 100 million $ for everyone else's salaries, whatever is left is used for production costs.
Better than Mad Max by far
Shit, boring movie. The Postman was way better.
Havent seen it. Been to the Universal show though. It was fun
How much for the little one?
The price will be never being able to recommend or bring up this movie in polite conversation despite it being incredible
never deserved to be shit on as hard as it did.
waterworld is due a "redemption arc".
>waterworld is due a "redemption arc".
They acknowledged the Ulysses Cut by including it on the bluray. That's pretty big.

What are the changes that are noticeable? I know a ton was cut to make it shorter

costner is in my top 5 favorite actors and there is nothing you can say to stop me

Sauce? (even though we all know you made it up)
Isn't it in the opening text crawl thing?
>Isn't it in the opening text crawl thing?
There's no text crawl in Waterworld.
Its just a voice over that says in the future the ice caps melted covering the earth in water
>planet is literally covered in water
>some people evolve gills

success breeds jealousy
was this aquamensch superpower even exploited well in the movie? They still kept fighting on water skis.
No. He he uses it to dive down and get garbage from the cities, but the humans won't trade with him, so it's worth frickall.

Id make friends and try and fit my penis in their gill holes

Its unbelievable to think that this was his first films as a director. The main theme was Pope John Paul II's favourite piece of music.

It's so fricking boring frick off

Pic unrelated
embarassing libtard alarmism
Shit film, but it would make for a truly fantastic MMORPG
with Hollywood recyclying the impossible, how has this not been remake? it's just waiting for a modern adaptation
Telavivan executives have zero interest in promoting anything associated with Kevin Costner.
All those years watching and enjoying it on tv I was really surprised to find out it got shit on so much on release
Yeah, believe it or not, theatrical standards were higher back then.
They shit on "The Postman" too, release that today with literally any brown person in the lead role and it's guaranteed Oscar material.

Which boggles my mind. How can they make such trash like Disney with like a 400 mil budget

a bit larger
T-They killed Chuck by that mistake?
It was great, but the soundtrack was hot trash.
Dennis Hopper should have had more of a role. But he owned what he was given
the soundtrack is amazing you giganiger
Nah, easily the worst part. Sounds like John Williams but more generic.
