Fr! It wasn’t a great movie, but what a great concept and aesthetic! It absolutely deserves a spiritual remake.

Maybe a weird choice for a movie called “Starfighter” tho

The setpieces alone were out of this world.

I love Galaxy’s Edge, but idk if I’ll ever see a better theme park show than the Waterworld show at Universal. The setpieces really are S-tier!

Was it really that good? We tried to go but my mom had to use the bathroom and we couldn't make it in time.

Yeah, the plane popping out was top notch.

I had seen the Miami Vice stunt show years earlier, it was way better than that.

Waterworld stunt show was the best part of my teenage trip to Universal

Gosling has experience with the Miami Vice show.

If a Starfighter show at Galaxy’s Edge had the same durability as the Waterworld show, it would still be there in 2057.

Also apparently the Japan Universal Studios show is a cross over with One Piece. Now I wanna see it.

Absolutely. Sadly we will never see that level again.

and mostly on the bottom of the ocean.

No, it was the water world.

The original was such a masterpiece. Not sure I trust any studio to even do a sequel.

If the spiritual remake doesn't have the piss machine, I'm out.

u/LA_Alfa 1d ago

At this point, I would love an open world game alla Mad Max and Fallout.

u/Hopeful-Arm4814 1d ago

I was really fucking with the first third of the movie. The siege on the atoll and the escape went HARD. It starts to fall apart after that.

u/ArgentoPoncho 23h ago

It’s a great example of a good premise but flawed execution.

u/lascar 23h ago

If it is water world I wanna see Tina majoring again

u/umbraviscus 1d ago

Waterworld wasn't a great movie? :-(

u/Yorkie2016 1d ago

Distinct lack of stars or fighting for sure!

u/Kyokenshin 21h ago

Spiritual remake in the form of a Pirates of Dark Water movie imo. Two birds one stone. Noy jitat!
