Waterworld at Revival House Perth
Dive into Kevin Costner's ambitious 1995 post-apocalyptic epic! In a future where polar ice caps have melted and Earth is completely covered by water, the mysterious Mariner (Costner) reluctantly helps Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and young Enola (Tina Majorino) escape from the floating atoll where they live. Enola bears a tattoo that may hold the key to finding "Dryland" - the mythical place where solid ground still exists.
Pursued across the endless ocean by the villainous Deacon (Dennis Hopper) and his army of "Smokers," the trio embarks on a perilous journey across this waterlogged world. What follows is a spectacular adventure featuring incredible practical effects, breathtaking stunt work, and some of the most ambitious action sequences ever filmed on water.
Despite its troubled production history, Waterworld stands as a remarkable achievement in practical filmmaking. The massive floating sets, real explosions, and death-defying stunts create an immersive experience that feels genuinely dangerous and exciting. Costner's gill-enhanced Mariner and the film's unique aquatic world-building make this unlike any other post-apocalyptic adventure.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
