YMMV: Waterworld
  • Awesome Music: The SNES Waterworld game is known as a pretty bad game. However its OST by Dean Evans has a lot of awesome tracks.
  • Critical Backlash: Some people don't find the movie to be that bad.
  • Designated Hero: The Mariner. Though it's more Anti-Hero with shades of trying to avoid The Call through most of the movie.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Dennis Hopper seems to be having a great time playing the villainous Deacon. As such, he's one of the most enjoyable parts of the movie.
  • Funny Moments: "Maybe he doesn't like to be called Chuck. Maybe we should call him Charles. Charles!"
    • The Exxon Valdez's oil reserve tankman's reaction when he sees the flare the Mariner dropped down a pipe fall into a pool of oil in the reserve.
      Oil Reserve Tankman: "Oh thank god."
    • When Helen asks about FOOD!!!
    • This:
    Enola: Don't call him that. He doesn't like it.
    Deacon: I don't give a shit what he likes! He took out my eye!
    Enola: "He'll come for me, he will."
    Deacon: "Well, I hope so. 'Cuz if he does, I'm gonna cut open his head, and I'm gonna EAT HIS BRAIN!" ...You think he'd like that?
  • Narm: The scene where Kevin Costner blows up at the kid over the crayons
  • Older Than They Think: The setting has more than a few similiarities to the French comic series Aquablue.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Hey, that's a pre-fame Jack Black as the Smoker plane pilot!
    • Deb has the map to dry land!
  • The Scrappy: Enola is really annoying.
    • Which makes the scene where she gets punched in the face really satisfying.
  • So Okay, It's Average: Despite being a box office flop in the U.S., the film has gotten mixed or average reviews from many film critics, who gave it an average score of 56 out of 100 according to Metacritic.
  • Special Effect Failure
  • Take That, Scrappy!: The Deacon slaps Enola.
    • Kevin Costner throws her in the ocean and she can't swim. Please, oh God, leave her...
