It's less that people didn't like it. It's more that the movie had an insanely high budget which the boxoffice couldn't match at the time, even if people loved it, hence it was called a flop, then people steered away from it and VHS sales couldn't save it either. The movie was fine for sure. Not perfect, but good fun.
When you listen to the model makers talking they are so modest in their achievements but it takes great imagination and skill together with experience to produce these models so realistically.
It is sad that the submerged cities had so little screen time. They did a good job. Like always. This is an underrated film. Despite the scientific inaccuracy of the excess water coming from the melting of the poles. Other films have worse scientific inaccuracy and no one complains.
@@Pdalow Its much more symbolic than RW. Its the ocean coming up. The earth is speaking. I love the movie. The horses at the end were from a barn on my land, in the same valley (Waipio). I think it is a movie only mariners understand....
I lived on the Big Island when they were filming that off of Kawaihai. When I was transferred to the Mainland, my going away party was on a Red Sail catamaran and we circled the atoll while they filmed the atoll battle scene. I could tell stories for days about the talent and the crap that happened during the filming.
I am absolutely loving this seemingly never ending series of interviews - I'm sure I am re-watching some without realising, but it didn't matter, they bear repeating! It would be great to see some snippets of the actual film scenes alongside the stories, but I guess there are copyright considerations...
Thank you for uploading another great segment! Just stunning craftsmanship all around. And the detail about the Orca in the submerged Denver reveal is just priceless.
Waterworld is one of the most underrated movies out there. Of course it's not perfect. I mean...where DID he get all those cigarettes from? As a post apocalyptic movie, I love it.
0:41 That shot of the wrecked submarine was so good! ... it's really one of the scenes I remember the MOST So it was a good idea to keep that shot I think
these are just incredible to watch. thank you so much for sharing. I almost landed a job at BOSS and was so upset when I lost it. My goodness man, these were the times. there was so much amazing things going on. Im not done with this series but I hope Cameron and escape from New York is in here.. that was an amazing crew with incredible FX work.
Interesting if you look at that barnacle texture, it does repeat. And they mentioned the Benthic Explorer from The Abyss.. another of my all-time favourite films.
Looks like a FA18, but cant tell if its a Hornet or Super Hornet. I assume the panel in the middle is not supposed to be a speed brake, the original one is longer but thinner.
@6:31 ...thou shall not drive, standing behind the forklift. it is dangerous. Was the piece this heavy, that you needed additional weight, or because of the view, or just for fun?
@@piercefilm Oh, hey, THANKS! Sense of Scale was what I was interested in. I didn't know you where uploading all of it. Absolutely fascinating stuff you filmed with those guys! I'll share it out on our model building Instagram @pva_knights
now THERES a Movie that just SCREAMS OUT for a REMAKE !!! kevin costner was so wrong for that movie, Jason Momoa would be so much better but he's already Aquaman. John Boyega Michael B Jordan David Oyelowo somebody NEW !!!
Apparently not many people like this movie but it's one of my favorites. I love coming back to it from time to time.
Yeah same here. I don't get why people don't like it.
plus it had a great score
I saw it in the theater with my grandparents. I actually said.."WOW!" When they brought out the quad barrel .50.
Great film, sorely underated

They are way too modest! That underwater city of Denver was incredible!
I would never imagine the water was CGI in the Tanker shots, incredible!
Best of all: done with off-the-shelf tools and plugins(by Arete), not some proprietary stuff like it was so common with VFX houses at the time.
yeah the good old 90` movies
It is sad that the submerged cities had so little screen time. They did a good job. Like always.
This is an underrated film.
Despite the scientific inaccuracy of the excess water coming from the melting of the poles. Other films have worse scientific inaccuracy and no one complains.
I agree with you, grat job at miniature.
That's not why people don't like this film. It's just a lower quality Road Warrior.

@Scott Robinson well what?
@Scott Robinson Yes, we want them!
Graham we're BEGGING you please . . .
Do tell my bro, do tell.

Yeah, I don't want to get sued by the studios. But you can find most of the film scenes here on TH-cam. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for uploading another great segment! Just stunning craftsmanship all around. And the detail about the Orca in the submerged Denver reveal is just priceless.
You're welcome! Many more segments coming up!
Did anyone else watch a show called Movie Magic on the Discovery channel in the early to mid 1990's? I loved it.
Yes sir
First thing I thought of when I started watching this vid haha
Watched it too. There's some episodes on youtube. I know The Rock Criterion DVD has an episode about it.
Yes!
I loved that show.
Waterworld is one of the most underrated movies out there. Of course it's not perfect. I mean...where DID he get all those cigarettes from? As a post apocalyptic movie, I love it.
Why did he piss in the water purifier when sea water would have been better? We'll never know.
@@rexmundi3108 I guess removing salt from pee is easier than sea water.
The main problem was a very weak story line and as already stated some parts were badly flawed. It could have been so much better
Tobacco plants in pots grown near the right part of the equator and it goes from there my dude!
0:41
That shot of the wrecked submarine was so good!
... it's really one of the scenes I remember the MOST
So it was a good idea to keep that shot I think
Thats a big a$$ minuture. Great movie. Thanks for sharing. Coolest diorama ever. Thanks for putting in these great throwback details.
You really need that scale for all the pyro effects to look right.
these are just incredible to watch. thank you so much for sharing. I almost landed a job at BOSS and was so upset when I lost it. My goodness man, these were the times. there was so much amazing things going on. Im not done with this series but I hope Cameron and escape from New York is in here.. that was an amazing crew with incredible FX work.
Yes, I have a segment with Robert Skotak talking about the effects for EFNY.
@@piercefilm I love you.. and I dont say that lightly.
Thank you for sharing this.
I was in WATERWORLD as a SMOKER
First became interested in miniatures after watching LOTR making of. Great content and even greater artists
Interesting if you look at that barnacle texture, it does repeat.
And they mentioned the Benthic Explorer from The Abyss.. another of my all-time favourite films.
One off the most underrated movies. I don't understand why people don't like it :P
Great film that doesn't get enough love!
This covered everything good about the movie.
I really enjoyed this movie tonight on Netflix.
I've honestly always thought that the oil tanker was a full sized ship they got second hand and really blew up.
Me too lol!
The future ,the polar ice caps have melted covering the Earth with water , those who survived , have adapted to a new world
There should have been more underwater shots, they were incredible
I love this movie
in my opinion movies looked 100000x better with these guys work in them. CGI never looks as good as practical effects.
CGI ages bad too. Seen lots of movies made with CGI that look like crap after being out for awhile.
@@stevenwestfall7638
Everything ages poorly. Especially styles and taste.
Uh... Scorpion King? Woof!
So daam cool
If only the story was as good as these models.
Jack Black got his start with the bit part as the Smokers spotter plane pilot.
I think he was in Neverending Story 3 before this film.
"BOAT RENTAL", when you look quickly,
looks like "BOAT HENTAI"... I wonder
what would they show there, if so...
What is the name of the aircraft, at the wall @5:55?
If anyone knows (even if it is fictional) please write...
Looks like a FA18, but cant tell if its a Hornet or Super Hornet. I assume the panel in the middle is not supposed to be a speed brake, the original one is longer but thinner.
good stuff
When are we going to see number 2 ??
brillant
@6:31 ...thou shall not drive, standing behind the forklift.
it is dangerous. Was the piece this heavy, that you needed
additional weight, or because of the view, or just for fun?
weight
The mask?
Is there no way to actually see this film?? Can't find it anywhere...
Do you mean Waterworld, or Sense of Scale? I am uploading the entire extended doc here on TH-cam. FREE! A new segment every couple weeks.
If it’s Waterworld you are referring to it’s currently streaming on STARZ.
@@piercefilm Oh, hey, THANKS! Sense of Scale was what I was interested in. I didn't know you where uploading all of it. Absolutely fascinating stuff you filmed with those guys!
I'll share it out on our model building Instagram @pva_knights
@@afarwiththedawning4495 Thanks for helping to spread the word around! Lots more coming up soon.
@@piercefilm No problem!
Is there a specific reason why this film got such bad reviews / rep - Why all the hate ? 🤔
I think it was a good watch anyways ✌️
old movies looks tons better than the 3d stuff.
Miniature ???.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
now THERES a Movie that just SCREAMS OUT for a REMAKE !!!
kevin costner was so wrong for that movie, Jason Momoa would be so much better but he's already Aquaman. John Boyega Michael B Jordan David Oyelowo somebody NEW !!!
Sad they didn't make it a 3D movie.
So much great creativity and artistry...wasted on such a garbage movie.
There's a ridiculously funny review of this stupid movie on the FART PARTY youtube channel!
