While Waterworld isn't good by any stretch of the imagination, if you are playing a "location of the week" type game (say you were a Time Travelling Hobo type character), it's perfectly ok a background for that game, and provides plenty of material for it.

Quite a lot of not-great-but-visual films make for good "Time Travel Box Arrives and goodness the entire place is water..." adventures.

Actually "materialises, steps out and... arrrrrhhg the device suddenly sinks to the bottom of the sea"

Hilarity ensures.

Is quite an endearing pre-credits game start.
