It was a disappointment in relation to cost, a cautionary tale, and one of the last purely practical. Some viewers may be grossed out by the introduction of the Kevin Costner character, urinating and then distilling/drinking his own urine. Waterworld remains a pretty good movie that couldn’t carry the burden of its infamous budget. The flamboyant lead villain, at one point, is made to look like a Christian evangelical preacher. Much cigarette smoking, and some drinking-carousing happens among the bad guys. Swearing includes one use of the F-word, multiple S-bombs. A little girl is occasionally threatened with danger/death, usually via drowning.
There's a gruesome threat of execution by drowning in some sort of sludge made from human decomposition, and a mutilated main villain demonstrates graphically that he's lost an eye. Frequent violence includes death by machine guns, spears guns, bombs, crashes, knife slashes, drownings, and fireballs. The heroine is glimpsed naked from the rear as she tries to use her body to bribe the hero (he declines the offer), and there's a near-rape of her by another man in a similar "business" arrangement.
Parents need to know that this post-apocalyptic epic postulates a semi-barbarous future where everything is traded and bartered - including sex.
