Waterworld [SteelBook] [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy] [1995]

If you're a fan of the original theatrical cut and own a 4K TV w/HDR and a sound bar capable of encoding DTS-X, then for the price, I can't recommend this UHD Blu-ray enough, the movie was mostly shot using practical effects and it's due to this that the 4K transfer still holds up, the sound is fantastic and full.. My only grip is the "Extended edition" is the TV Cut NOT the famous Ulysses Cut that is available from Arrow... ( This is proven by the lack of adult content cut from the extended edition) such as the opening scene of the Mariner peeing ( you don't see the stream) and the nudity is completely cut in addition to swearing) .. That being said,if you enjoyed the film as it originally released then you should have a blast revisiting Waterworld.

Okay, you either like Waterworld or you don't (me, it's a guilty pleasure), but one can't deny this package is terrific. It gives all 3 versions of the film in HD and it has lots of extras to boot. Nothing is left off from previous editions (I don't think), and having an uncensored version of the long TV version is a great addition. The previous DVD special edition did not have that. Waterworld is not Shakespeare, and it's definitely not a a great film, but it delivers the action and some spectacular set pieces to go with the exciting action. It's long at times, but the premise is interesting and putting together the back story of what happened to the world is nice-makes you fill in the blanks too with speculation. The added pieces to in the long version build story, character and some are just plain fun (Mount Everest). You sure get your money's worth with 3 movies if nothing else.

First things first, this steelbook is beautiful. 2. It is going to be extremely rare, as each store received 3 copies of the film in Steelbooks, so expect prices to skyrocket if you did not secure a copy in-store at MSRP. Why the steelbook is cheaper than the regular 4k copy, I have no idea. The Ulysses Cut is on the 4k disc, which extends the movie from 2 hours, to 2 hours and 40 minutes, adding a lot more depth to the story, and what you remember seeing in theatres or on TV. The only other time that the extended version was released, was in a special version that you had to order online in order to get. Seriously, do yourself a favor, and pick this up if you can. If you don;t like it, hold it for a little while and sell it for a profit.

From Amazon: "A few years after Waterworld was released on video ABC aired an extended cut on public television. I have been waiting for a long time for the extended edition to be released and now it finally has been. While watching it I relied something that shocked me that is the ABC version, the cussing is gone, the violence is soften and some scenes have been cut out, and no Helen bare back shot. Even some of the sound effects and music has been changed. After doing more research I found this to be true. Instead of revising a 'true' extended edition Universal just put the ABC version on here (without commercials of course) and just added a 5.1 soundtrack to it. What a waste of money this was/is. I guess that's why it is only 15 bucks, I would have gladly spent 50 bucks for an unedited extended cut. If you have the DVD, google "The Ulysses Cut" to get the full, unedited (or rather, edited to fullness) version that they couldn't manage to put together for this release. A kind soul has done for free on his home computer what the studio couldn't seem to do with a budget." Your decision. Personally, I'd hold off for the extended release--if they decide to listen to the fans.

I loved this movie when it came out. It was the most expensive movie in history at the time, $235 million in 1995. This collector's edition blu ray comes with three cuts of the film including the European cut which is over 43 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, and the television cut which was over 41 minutes longer than the theatrical cut. I love all the extra footage that gives you a deeper connection with the film. If you want to have an action packed extravaganza and lots of fun, check this movie out and enjoy all the cuts.

I actually bought the movie because I have it on HD-DVD in my movie collection and the disc won't play anymore. The movie came out back in 1995 and was famous for going way over budget, from $100 million to approximately $175 million, making it the most expensive movie made at that time. The polar ice caps melt in the future and cover the Earth in water. The Mariner (Kevin Costner) is a loner who comes across an atoll and rescues a couple who tell him they know the way to Dry Land, which the Mariner believes is a myth. The best part of the movie is the Mariner's boat, which says a lot about the movie. Not exactly a classic.

I bought this blu-ray yesterday and just watched it 3 hrs ago. the movie is beautiful. all the swearing is there and so is helens bare backside which you see all of so i don't know what the other guy was talking about the only parts that were cut was at the very end where helen is talking to the mariner and gives him a free gift something he'll need and the part where they uncover the sir edmund hillary stone. for some reason those parts are not in this version. my biggest problem with this blu-ray ? no special features except for one trailer. other than that it's a great movie and great looking on blu-ray!

This movie was given a bad wrap from the media when it released in theatres. Those that were fortunate enough to grab the Laserdisc version, or see the "whole" movie know what i am going to say about the movie. This movie had everything a blockbuster needed, but some people thought that they didn't need the 45 mins worth of movie that they cut. When you see the full movie, it's like watching a different movie. The whole plot is revealed in those 45 mins of restored movie. Everyone who has seen this version loves the movie. I would recommend this movie to everyone.
