Waterworld — Beyond the Ulysses Cut?
I recently took a look at the extended edition of Waterworld, which is apparently described as the “Ulysses Cut” in some circles. Despite about 40 minutes of additional footage, it was distinctly underwhelming; most of the additional scenes added virtually nothing, apart from a council meeting early on and a few more scenes on Dryland at the end.
I may have been expecting a little too much from the extended edition; but like the myth of Dryland itself, I keep hoping there’s something more just over the horizon. Are there any other deleted scenes beyond those included in the extended edition? Anything else that could elevate the movie even slightly?
I am aware the movie is gawdawful schlock, so no need to belabor that here. I love it anyway, despite the fact that Jeanne Tripplehorn is the only person actually doing any acting in it. But it could have been so much more, and I’d like to know if there’s another level of Waterworld beyond the so-called Ulysses Cut.

Re: Waterworld — Beyond the Ulysses Cut?
Haven't heard of any other deleted scenes outside the Ulysses Cut. not saying they don't exist, but haven't heard of any.
Biggest problem with the Ulysses cut is the same as with the Snyder cut of JL. It's really just more of the same. If you already enjoyed the movie then you'll probably enjoy the extra. if you didn't, then the extra isn't bringing anything to change your opinion."That's a horrible idea! What time?"

Re: Waterworld — Beyond the Ulysses Cut?
Well, I went to a live performance of it in Universal Studios in Singapore some ~10 years ago, which also was gawdawful schlock (I loved it anyway), but I'm guessing you are looking for something more like deleted scenes?

A live performance? How did they stage that, with all the boats?

With jetskis, mostly. And apparently the show is taking place after the events of the movie, so I guess it is kind of a sequel?

Yeah, the answer to "this thing was mediocre" is not "but what if there was more of it?" Originally Posted by tomandtish

Amusingly, I misread the title as "Waterworld — Beyond the Useless Cut?"... Originally Posted by GloatingSwine
