Still, it's not simply the world's mythology that feels much too underdeveloped, because if I'm to start discussing the traditional storytelling issues with this film, allow me to start with what this film should have started with: development, for the film, while not devoid of exposition, seems too interested in its general concepts to contribute a considerable amount of care into fleshing out the story, or at least telling it in a consistently engaging fashion. Still, the obscure aspects of this futuristic world don't simply end on a scientific level, as many of the film's interpretation of society, whether it be its behavior or vocabulary, feel so very in-tune with their own mythology to where they, while still reasonably easy to figure out, remain rather esoteric in their attempt to place us deeper into this world, when really, they simply come off as silly to the point of disconnecting us further. Much of the science seems overly fantastic, while some of your more plausible pieces of science are rather obscure, yet treated with such casualness that they too come off as entirely hard to buy into. The film hits a fair couple of cheesy points, whether it be in the cornball dialogue or some cheesy concepts, yet what is more consistent in its being so hard to buy, if not completely far-fetched is the science behind this film, which is hardly tight. That's pretty much right on the money, something that this film is no stranger to, or at least in terms of spending it, yet make no mistake, this film does get goofy. Okay, I actually came up with most of the puns and my dad's actually pretty awesome certainly cool enough to tell that this film is a little bit lame, but still pretty enjoyable. Sorry for all of these somewhat wishy-washy puns, but that's what happens when you go to your dad for suggestions for a joke. Wow, Costner really can't catch a break with this film, because that suit doesn't appear to hold too much water. At that moment, Costner must have thought that this film finally paid off, up until Stephen Baldwin sued him for cheating him out of a business deal with BP. Well, at least Costner did just fine on the home market and during the BP oil spill incident, because this film pretty much helped them come up with that filtering water centrifuge that got quite a bit of money. I'm not saying that this $175 million box office disaster of a post-disaster film flopped like a fish, but the world wasn't the only thing pertaining to this film that sank.
