Movie Reviews of The Perfect Storm
Movie Review: Worth owning for sure.
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing this in the theater when it was first released, I hesitated to see it again because I was afraid it might not hold up on a second viewing. Well, not only is it worth seeing a second time; it's definitely worth owning. George Clooney plays his role perfectly, and the rest of the cast does a fine job, too.
Of course no one knows what actually happened aboard the Andrea Gail. This film's script speculates because that is all it can do, but the result is a riveting adventure. I was especially pleased to come away feeling that those responsible for getting the technical details right did their jobs. I know how to turn a boat in heavy seas. That's how you do it, yes! I also know how a man who makes his living on the sea reacts to getting hit in the face with salt spray as he holds his course. He laughs. He's having a ball. Of course that part's from before things get frightening, but it's spot on. I know because my dad followed the sea, and I've watched him do just what George Clooney was doing in portraying his character.
A few weak spots? I'm sure they are there. But for me they flew straight past. Five stars and glad to give them!
