The most expensive film ever made at the time of it's release, Waterword has thrilled audiences through the years with its awe-inspiring action scenes, gargatuan maritime sets and ground-breaking special effects.A definitive post-apocalyptic blockbuster, Waterworld stars Kevin Costner (The Untouchables) as The Mariner - a mutant trader, adrift in a dystopian future where Earth is sublerged under water and humankind struggles to survive on boats and ramshackle floating cities. The Mariner becomes embroiled with the Smoker, a gang of pirates who, let by villainous leader Deacon (Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet), are seeking Enola (Tina Moreno 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 new restoration, in three different cuts, and with a wealth of extra material, this high-water mark of high-concept Hollywood can now be enjoyed as never before.TWO DISC SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTSTwo cuts of the film newly restored from the original film elements by Arrow FilmsOriginal 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and 2.0 stereo audio optionsOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Paul ShipperDISC ONE - THE THEATRICAL CUTHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the original theatrical cutMaelstrom: The Odyssey of Waterworld, an all-new, feature length making-of documentary including extensive cast and crew interviews and behind the scenes footageDances With Waves, an original archival featurette capturing the film's production Global Warnings, film critic Glenn Kenny explores the subgenre of ecologically themed end-of-the-world filmsProduction and promotional stills gallery Visual effects stills galleryOriginal trailer and TV spotsDISC TWO - THE ""ULYSSES"" CUTHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation of the extended European ""Ulysses"" cut, which includes previously censored shots and dialogue
