The most expensive film ever made at the time of its release, Waterworld has thrilled audiences through the years with its awe-inspiring action scenes, gargantuan maritime sets and ground-breaking special effects.
A definitive post-apocalypse blockbuster, Waterworld stars Kevin Costner (The Untouchables) as The Mariner - a mutant trader, adrift in a dystopian future where Earth is submerged under water and humankind struggles to survive on boats and in ramshackle floating cities. The Mariner becomes embroiled with the Smokers, a gang of pirates who, led by villainous leader Deacon (Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet), are seeking Enola (Tina Majorino, Napoleon Dynamite), a girl with a map to the mythical realm of Dryland tattooed on her back.
Famous for both its epic scale and the controversy that swirled around its production, Waterworld is a key cult film of the 1990s, and an essential entry into the subgenre of ecologically-minded blockbusters. Presented here in an exclusive restoration of the theatrical cut in 4K Ultra HD, alongside a Blu-ray presentation of the Ulysses cut, and with a wealth of extra material, this high-water mark of high-concept Hollywood can now be enjoyed as never before.

Standard 4K Edition Review
Bummed I missed out on the LE set but still really pleased with the standard set. The fact the you get the long-sought after Ulysses' cut, plus the wealth of BTS features made this a must-have for me. Since I was a kid I loved this troubled movie. Its swashbuckling, apocalyptic, cheesy fun. And Arrow did a great job on this transfer. It still looks and feels like the same film I fell for in 1995, and the bold, explosive audio and adventurous James Newton Howard score are given new life and energy. Of course with most 4K upgrades early day FX can stand out a little more. But, I don't feel like they really stand out more than they always have. Waterworld's CG (especially during the ballon flights) have always been a bit wonky. That hasn't changed, but it's also part of it's charm imo
