The film starts up pretty slowly but when they head up for sea... it's showtime! The CGI storm sequences are one of the best I've seen. Saw it the first time when it was released and now again, and I can say that in comparison to films of today, it stands tall.
But is the movie...( read more) -

Worst movie EVER! Omg it was horrible. The only thing that semi-redeemed it was Mark Wahlberg.

Based upon true events, The Perfect Storm is a well developed film. Is it perfect? No it is not. Considering much of the film takes place aboard the sword fishing boat, Andrea Gail, and there were no survivors to relate what transpired, much of the film is conjecture. The char...( read more)

Overall, I can't say that I didn't enjoy the film. It provided me with just the right amount of mindless entertainment that I needed...

There was potential here for a kinda good movie, but man, all the characters and dialogue are just so unremittingly formulaic and lame. The storm sequences just get kinda monotonous too.

August 3, 2006have you ever watched a movie that you could just watch over and over again and not get bored, this movie was that movie for me. i really enjoyed watching it, the beginning was great, but the ending was just spectacular, it was sad, but that is the truth about what actually happens and that why it is so sad. i have heard true sea stories, but the affect of actually seeing it in a movie puts it perspective. it tells people that if you are going to see, dont expect everything to be so great, its not always a life of pleasure to be at sea. alot of people dont always see that, and if you watch this movie you will see that, so that is why i recommend that everyone who wants to know the truth about the sea should sit through this visually spectacular movie
