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.

The Far From Perfect Storm
The storm could have been perfect had it only be 80 or 90 minutes instead of 130. I understand why the movie was made the way it was -- Basically a lot of real life family members got involved and in order to have their cooperation, they had to make it really mushy and emotional in many places. Way too much family was shown. You didn't need as much background as was given to appreciate the storm. I never bought or understood the love story between Diane Lane and Mark Wahlberg. They're really struggling for money and want to get her kids back, so what is the first thing she does when he leaves? Spends a bunch of money on buying a house!! And she's the one telling him not to go and that they'll work three jobs each, etc. Well, the poor guy HAS to go if she's spending money the way ...

And she's the one telling him not to go and that they'll work three jobs each, etc. Well, the poor guy HAS to go if she's spending money the way she appears to be. Also there was the business with the rescue mission. They really could have cut that entire story line. I'm sure the reason they didn't is that the family members of that rescuer got wind of the movie being made and jumped in with a, "Wait a minute! My guy died during that storm too! While you're making this movie, you BETTER put him in since he attempted to save the guys on the boat." He died in the line of duty, this happens every day. It's a chosen profession and no one forced him into it. Here's the other thing that bugs me and that's the theme of greed and respect. These guys could have waited out the storm but because they wanted to "set the market" and make tons of money, they decided to plow right through the storm. If they had waited, yes, maybe some of their fish would have spoiled. Maybe they would get laughed at in town. But maybe they would be ALIVE and have a chance to do it again and do it right next season. Because they were so eager to show everyone what they were made of, they showed everyone how arrogant and greedy they were to do something so foolish as to go between all those storms. Also letting Mark Wahlberg escape the boat so he can drown in the waves on top of the ocean rather than in the boat? So he could say goodbye in voiceover? That was terrible and cheesy. I'm grateful they didn't decide to talk separately about each person on the boat at the funeral, but the whole grieving and moving on sequence took entirely too long. It could have been accomplished in a teary, hearing the news in slow motion with music playing montage. Three minutes tops. Based on all these points, I give the movie a C.

To use an appropriate phrase - I was blown out of the water! If you've read nothing about this film, read no further - just see it. If you are familiar with the events that took place on the Grand Banks in October 1991 - all I'll say is that this film is a leap of the heart. We don't know exactly what happened onboard the Andrea Gail, but let this film take you along in its speculations. How easy it would have been to make a sensationalised, tacky film. But the prevailing feeling with this piece is one of respect for the crazy/brave working-class guys who risk everything for several months every year - giving up family, home, comfort, solid ground and a whole lot more - for the financial rewards that deep sea commercial fishing can once in a blue moon provide.

Dialogue is rich and realistic. Structure is intriguing and well paced. Technical work is of the highest standard. I have little bad to say about this film. A note on the visual effects - they are so good and there are so many of them, that you soon forget about them - isn't that how it should be? A Terrific addition to EVERY DVD collection - ENJOY!!

The perfect storm
It's Halloween, 1991. Near Gloucester, Massachusetts, the six members of the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat, head out to sea for their last trip of the season. Unbeknownst to them, a shockingly brutal storm is slowly gaining steam. Before the National Weather Bureau has a chance to inform the crew of the impending danger, it's too late. The resulting battle with three merging weather fronts--an unheralded natural disaster--is grueling and tragic. Based on the true-life best selling novel by Sebastian Junger, The Perfect Storm stars George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Diane Lane and is directed by Wolfgang Petersen.It's Halloween, 1991.

Storytelling, Acting, Special Effects - All Great!!!
I did not see this movie when it was out it theaters because the trailers for it did not excite me. I was very impressed with it, however, when I saw it on DVD. The acting and the special effects came together to bring this story, based on fact, to life. The special effects are excellent and I have been lucky enough to see this movie on a big screen tv one time. I thought all of the actors were very good and they made me want to know more about their characters. I am a fan of Mark Wahlberg, but I really think this is one of George Clooney's better parts. Maybe its because he isn't playing a larger than life persona, but an everyperson, working guy, that I found his acting so believeable and so earnest. The ending of this movie is not happily-ever-after, it is a reality check for ... I did not see this movie when it was out it theaters because the trailers for it did not excite me.

The ending of this movie is not happily-ever-after, it is a reality check for some of us as to the life of those who make their living off the ocean. And, yet, I did not find myself feeling depressed, but somewhat uplifted, by the cohesiveness and love the community had for each other. This is great storytelling!!!!!!!!!
