    I watched it at release time. And the scene where Kevin Kostner run through his boat activating various sail and gadget to escape the bad guy is still engraved in my memory as the most badass thing ever. Was obsessed about the revelation of him having gills too.

    All that because it was heavily inspired of one of my favorite Sci-fi series: The Pandora Sequence by F. Herbert (where the 2 last book are on a water planet, where human evolved for this world)

    NB: the second book in the series was the source material for a more successful movie “Avatar” by Cameron. In the “Jesus incident” the planet is hostile to human, and there is a magical plant controlling it named “avata”… just to name a few similarity … they are endless
