About this product

Product Information

Based on the engrossing nonfiction work by Sebastian Junger about the Andrea Gail--a commercial swordfishing boat that was lost at sea in October 1991--Wolfgang Petersen's THE PERFECT STORM brings the pages to life. The movie features a big-name cast (George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg) playing the gruff, edgy fishermen in the Gloucester, Massachusetts, port, as well as close-up camera shots of the boats moored on the wintry docks. Viewers are drawn into the closely knit New England community that is struck speechless by a fierce nor'easter made from three merging hurricanes. Meteorologists call it the Perfect Storm.Despite the weather forecast, skipper Billy Tyne (Clooney) insists that his crew go out on one more 30-day swordfishing trip before the winter sets in. At sea, a series of tragedies ensues, including a man dragged overboard by one of the 300-foot-long lines and a bloodthirsty shark that gets reeled onto the deck accidentally. What's worse, the skipper's right-hand man, Bobby Shatford (Wahlberg), is homesick for his girlfriend back onshore. But it is not until the storm finally hits and the special effects--mountainous dark digitized waves--take hold that the Andrea Gail is rendered helpless even to Coast Guard helicopters and THE PERFECT STORM's terrifying true-story tragedy becomes reality.

  • A Fhiserman's oppinion.....

    Having spent my life fishing for salmon up in Alaska ("Perfect Storms" up there rarely even make the news in the States) I have to say I thought the characters were pretty "life like". The pressure to make a living for boat and crew is ALWAYS a balancing act between need and risk. The weather, market price, all the things that a Skipper has to balance out to keep going, keep alive. Add the pressure of the necessary time away from home and trying to keep "home" alive and well and it defiantly gets tricky. I thought the actors did a great job with a tough story. Effects are state of the art also. By now we all know about the unexplained rouge waves, though still a mystery to the scientific community. But hey, they are still trying to figure out how 4.5 BILLION years ago, NOTHING exploded, now we have everything. (not 4.4, or 4.6, mind you) Anyway, make lots of popcorn, sit back and try not to throw anything at the jerk sail boat "captain" who's just trying to score with the two "passengers" on the way to the islands. Forgive him, he's probably a retired scientist who's brain exploded trying to sell intelligent people 4.5 BILLION years.

  • Terrifying adventure movie

    One of the best true-life adventure movies I've ever seen. It is based on an actual shipwreck, so maybe that's what makes the difference. The characters are well-drawn/acted; the special effects are just plain amazing.
