There was a switch to CGI in the 1990s.
Were there any other multimillion dollar Hollywood epics filmed practically after
Waterworld
?

I think Waterworld might be the last one.
Titanic
came out in 1997 and used CGI.

Waterworld had terrible reviews, but I liked it a lot.

I like the movie, too.
It actually did pretty well financially worldwide, so it's not really accurate when people say that the movie flopped. I dunno why people dislike the movie so much, I guess it's because they had high expectations because Costner was in some great films back then, and then Waterworld ended up being not as good as his other movies.
