Synopsis

Sebastian Junger's phenomenal best seller hits the screen starring George Clooney as the veteran skipper of a fishing boat on a collision course with fate in the suspense-filled true story of The Perfect Storm.

Just days after returning from a disappointing fishing trip, Andrea Gail captain Billy Tyne (Clooney) decides to return to the sea to trawl for swordfish one last time before the season ends. From the port of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Tyne and a five-man crew that includes seaman Bobby Shatford (Mark Wahlberg) set sail for the Flemish Cap, rich fishing grounds far beyond the vessel's normal range. Out at sea, Tyne learns of an impending storm but thinks he can outrun it. Little does he know that he's contending with not one but three weather fronts that unite to create the fiercest, most destructive storm of the 20th century!

    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.
