Waterworld – 2-Disc Extended Edition By Brian Orndorf 10-28-08 Excerpt: Regardless of faults, I embrace "Waterworld" as the pure matinee escapism it was intended to be, readily devouring the sci-fi excitement both Reynolds and Costner are happy to dish up. The new extended cut only accentuates the film's positives, broadening the material to dramatic satisfaction that was never available before. In either incarnation, "Waterworld" is a gas. However, in longer form, the picture is finally the full meal it was meant to be.

Waterworld Posted by Alan Bacchus 11-01-08 Excerpt: “Waterworld” is a guilty pleasure of mine….. With most of its $175million actually on the screen, Reynolds’ production team were allowed to surmount the production nightmare of shooting action on water and craft some visually stunning action set pieces.

Waterworld: 2-Disc Extended Edition by ED JOHNSON-OTT Nov 4, 2008 Excerpt: Though the holes in logic are huge, “Waterworld” isn't bad at all. Costner is fine as a mutant outcast, the action scenes are tres cool and the relationships work well enough. This DVD release showcases Reynolds' original version of the film, before it got chopped down from 177 minutes to 136 by the powers-that-be.

This Week in DVD By Adam Quigley WATERWORLD (2-DISC EXTENDED EDITION) I have a soft spot in my heart for Waterworld. I’m fully aware of what an awful movie it is, and yet I still find it enjoyable. That’s all the justification I have for being psyched to see the extended edition of the film, which I never caught when it aired on network television.
