      Is it a flop? I thought it’s good from recent viewing, no nostalgia involved because i never watched it back then. Wouldn’t mind for another one in that setting though.

          For some reason some people thought “it’s just Mad Max on water” would make other people not want to see it.

        I think the movie is amazing, but it was generally panned as an expensive flop. I think the setting is really interesting and the practical effects were out of this world

      Waterworld was a flop that got a reappraisal, and is now considered a pretty cool movie. It was really a victim of a critical wall that was against it from the start. That happens with some movies.

      Babylon is another. That’s going to get a reappraisal at some point, and become a cult classic.

      Showgirls is going through a reappraisal, and people are starting to see it differently. It was a Paul Verhoeven movie, of course it was great.
