While the flick certainly doesn't look like a $200 million film on the screen, WATERWORLD delivers precisely what it promised: a loner meets girl, girl falls in love, loner performs some heroics, and girl stays on dry land because the loner can't stand the feeling of solid earth under his webbed feet.
It's popcorn film time, people. Don't take anything in WATERWORLD seriously, and you'll have a whale of a time!
