Opening scene of 'Waterworld'

The Universal Studios logo slowly shows the Earth being consumed in water as the polar ice caps melt...

[thesnakeman]

I always loved this intro. It gave you a chance to actually look at the globe and the galaxy behind the universal logo

[Osric]

I thought it was very cool to use the Universal logo as the prologue to the movie!

I saw this in the theatre and I did not expect it!! It blew my mind and I never forgot.

"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does."

― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

[rashida]

That was the scariest intro I had ever seen.

[Redheadeddude]

Anytime a movie would come on tv, you would always try and figure out what it was based on the intro. And this, everytime as soon as it started to zoom in, youd go "oh, it's waterworld"

[NECKBRACEBRO]

According to GOOGLE.The waters in the movie had risen up to 25, 000 ft.Damn!

[kyleroberts]

A round of applause for the filmmakers doing their homework for this scene! They showed the water creeping up the Mississippi and the Amazon, the Appalachian Mountains lasting longer than the rest of the East Coast, and the Rockies going last.

Hollywood: the polar ice caps have melted covering all the land

Reality: the polar ice caps have melted raising the water level a few meters and only slightly covering a fraction of the land

It is known that the world fell, and that most people in it died.
The dead will not suffer the hardships of the terrible world which remains. Those born into this hell have no remembrance of anything else.
Those who survived... Those who are the truly broken. For they know what was before. - Griffa, Mad Max (2015)

world: *floods*

me: *drunken sailor intensifies*

[jasonfasthorse]

I like how they strategically started on the other side of the world with North America and South America, We can't spoil are own movie starting on the Asian contenient side. Oh Mt Everest became an island! Hey wait a minute!

[DefundTheFringes]

You cut it off before the epic drum music with real ocean shots.

[АлександрАдмаев-юл]

Somewhere in a parallel reality In the wasteland, people really do not have enough water

[DarkpawTheWolf]

This is one of the coolest intros ever.

[celeboria]

I´m still waiting for the "Kids in 2020 won´t know what snow is anymore" - movie.

[guntherthequizmaster]

Maybe we can rapidly evolve into water creatures. - Sid, Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

[Betis]

JAJAJAJA this is only possible if the fountains of the "great deep" opened up again

[theScotian]

There isnt too much thats more terrifying to me than a world without any land.

[anticringelegion]

I think must been predicting the future!
