Humans live in the oceans, but with limbs in place of fins, they are not cut out for living in the water.
In the post-apocalyptic “Waterworld,” the polar ice caps have melted, and the sea levels have risen around 8200 meters, submerging most of the land underwater. Waterworld Ending: How Did the World Get Submerged? The ichthyic sapien is skeptical at first, but he comes to show his more humane side as the story trudges forward. Enola has a map drawn on her back leading to the dry land, and as the news spreads, the Deacon and his pack of Smokers want a piece of Enola. With some help from Helen and Enola, the Mariner flees the scene while accepting to take them to the mythical dry land. The following morning, when they are about to plunge the Mariner into a bog, the atoll faces a horde of Smokers from outside. Old Gregor comes to meet him near the cage, but he is not courageous enough to let him escape. They take the Mariner for a monster and lock him up. The Mariner is not looking forward to entertaining guests, and the people find out that he has gills for ears and feet like fins. After making the exchange, the Mariner goes to the seedy bar of Helen to get two glasses of hydro, but an enforcer wants a drink too. He reaches the atoll, looking to trade 3.2 kilos of pure dirt against 124 chits (the new world’s currency). According to the code, something needs to be exchanged, but the drifter has it all.Īt this juncture, a group of Smokers ambushes the Mariner’s ship while his sails are down, but the Mariner escapes the situation tactfully. Meanwhile, he meets a friendly drifter and learns about an atoll (a floating colony) eight days east. The Mariner is such a drifter, roaming the endless oceans – after some acrobatics, he finds a lighter that does not work. These groups primarily entail either Slavers or Smokers, while the lone sailors are called Drifters. The polar ice caps have melted far ahead into the future, and humans now live like sea nomads in scattered groups. If you need to brush up on the final moments of this retro-futuristic genre foray, let us take you to the troubled waters. A lavish budget and an outlandish ambiance make up for occasional glitches (a “waitress” in a world with no restaurants). Kevin Costner delivers a reticent performance against Jeanne Tripplehorn in the leading roles.
