In a futuristic world where the polar ice caps have melted and made Earth a liquid planet, a beautiful barmaid rescues a mutant seafarer from a floating island prison. They escape, along with her young charge, Enola, and sail off aboard his ship. But the trio soon becomes the target of a menacing pirate who covets the map to 'Dryland'—which is tattooed on Enola's back.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's a genuine vault at greatness that misses the mark -- but survives.

fresh:
A moderately successful guy's movie with both weak and strong elements where lots of things are brilliantly blown up and few things make any kind of sense.

rotten:
Waterworld isn't Fishtar, but Kevin Costner's pricey, post-apocalyptic sloshbuckler isn't a seafaring classic either.

fresh:
In the tradition of the old Westerns and Mel Gibson's Road Warrior flicks, this film provides good escapist fun.

rotten:
It's one of those marginal pictures you're not unhappy to have seen, but can't quite recommend.
