Waterworld. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is somewhat more complex than it seems. It is set some time in the future, where no one is really sure of how the world became covered in water. Most people do not even believe in dry land. They call it a myth, a legend. 
Some people are even mutating into something that is similar to a fish-person, with gills and webbed feet with the ability to breathe under water. 
During this film, you learn that there is a girl who was found floating in a basket full of dirt, who has a tattoo on her back that is believed to be something like a compass that points to dry land, if you can figure out the code. I am not certain, but I'm pretty sure the tattoo is in Chinese or some other language that uses symbols. It's actually a pretty cool tattoo, in my opinion. Kevin Costner is protecting the girl and the woman who is basically her adoptive mother. 
One of my favorite parts of this movie is when Kevin Costner's character goes in the water as bait for a giant fish. He gets swallowed by it, then kills the creature from the inside out. I don't know exactly what creature it is, although I always assumed it was a type of fish that grew a lot larger due to the massive amounts of water covering the planet. 
The way they dress, you can tell that the clothes are rather old. The way they look also shows that people have some creativity in what they use to make them. I find the whole world look seems worn down, and very nomadic which could probably happen if the ice caps really did melt without an ice age following.
