Starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg, The Perfect Storm follows a team of fishermen who get caught up in one of the worse storms to hit their boat in the North Atlantic. This is deeply sad and moving movie with some good performances from Clooney and Co. The cinematography is beautifully shot. The special effects are outstanding considering how difficult it is to recreate computer generated water on the computer for some shots. What’s great also about the effects is that it is not the main highlight in the film. It doesn’t detract away from what a good film this is. You get caught up in the drama of what these fishermen experience and their lives. It is precisely that element that gives this film its heart and emotion as they battle back to land and safety against the horrors of Mother Nature. You will them on at every opportunity. Well recommended if you haven’t seen it.
