The Postman

Yes, the Kevin Costner movie that nobody saw. This movie had possibly the worst trailers I’ve ever seen. They made it out to be this epic story… I remember turning to the guy next to me in the theater and asking “is this a joke?”. I was serious, but… so was Kevin Costner. I’ve seen a lot of worse movies, I think ‘The Postman’ just got a bad vibe and was doomed before it ever came out. Some people have called this “waterworld without the water”. That’s actually a pretty good description. It’s about a loner in a post-apocalyptic world who accidentally finds something to believe in, and rises up against a tyrant (oh, he falls in love with a strong, independent woman too). Except in this one, Kevin is trying to get to the water (some ocean-side village) instead of land. The story & writing in this movie is a little better than waterworld, but the special effects weren’t as numerous. Remember how you felt about waterworld because you’ll probably feel the same way about this movie. If you haven’t seen either movie, you didn’t miss that much.
