Movie: Waterworld
Basic Plot: I don't know, something about the polar ice caps melting and now everyone lives on the ocean and Kevin Costner is somehow half-fish/half-man.
I'm Okay With: The fact that the bad guys (called Smokers) seem to have an endless supply of cigarettes even though they seem to all chain smoke and have no way to make more. The fact that Kevin Costner's character has evolved to the point that he has fully functional gills in (I'm guessing) only a couple generations of humans living on the ocean. The fact that Kevin Costner is swallowed by a giant fish and is able to kill it from the inside with only a spear and no breathable air (or water). The fact that there is still enough gas to use on the bad guy's jet skis, let alone enough resources to keep those things in running condition.
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that everyone is so dirty despite living literally on top of water every day of their lives. (I have to give this one credit to the short-lived show Mr. Sunshine.) Seriously, every person they show is covered in grim and considering their isn't any dirt laying around (hence the name Waterworld), how did they get so dirty? And on top of that, they live on the water. So how hard is to jump in, wash yourself off, jump back out, and dry off in the sun? I know there are giant man-eating fish in this fictional world, but they have their homes protected by underwater nets, so those killer fish shouldn't be a problem. Why can't they clean themselves off every once in awhile? Hell, they could take multiple baths a day, but instead they live their lives covered in filth. I am not okay with that.
