Waterworld(1995)
Centuries of global warming have caused the polar ice caps to melt, flooding the earth as civilization is left adrift. The inhabitants of this once-flourishing planet cling to life on incredible floating cities, their existence constantly threatened by Smokers--bands of marauding pirates who roam the featureless surface of Waterworld. For the survivors, one chance remains: a solitary hero, known only as the Mariner. Battling the Smokers and their ruthless leader, the Deacon, the Mariner sets out with a beautiful woman and a mysterious little girl on a search for a new beginning.

You'll see that in the screenshots in this review, where fleshtones routinely are on the brown side and water color tends to be a sort of tepid gray rather than blue, and skies frequently a sort of wispy white color. The good news is there is next to no artifacting. Items like the closely woven nets which show up throughout the film resolve perfectly, with excellent fine line detail. Closeups are especially impressive throughout this presentation, with the crags of Costner's face fully on display. Grain is evident throughout the film, but is completely natural looking, actually helping the film to maintain its gritty post-apocalyptic presence. Waterworld Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe DTS HD-MA 5.1 mix is where this Blu-ray truly shines. This is a remarkably fluid (sorry, couldn't resist) soundtrack, completely immersive when it needs to be, and not only in the louder action-adventure segments. I was consistently impressed with surround channel utilization throughout the film, perhaps especially in the quieter moments. Long sequences out on the open water offer beautiful splashing effects mixed with ambient environmental effects like bird calls that make for a very enjoyable experience. Dialogue is smartly directional and always easy to hear. LFE utilization also has some great moments, including the roar of the jet-skis the "smokers" (bad guys) ride, not to mention one or two massive explosions which fire up the story.
