‘The perfect storm’ is a disaster film based on a true story. It is an
adaptation of Sebastien Junger’s book by the same name, published in 1997.
The story takes place in October
1991 in Gloucester, Massachusset. After several deceiving fishing seasons,
Captain Bobby, portrayed by George Clooney, convinces his crew to head out far
in the cold Atlantic Ocean on board of a ship called the Andrea Gail. They go on a mission to find fish and be able to make
some money to support their families.
This is where the special effects
start. The digital images are so outstanding and realistic that they carry us
into this disaster, swamp us with fear, and root us to the spot. We can hardly
know what is real or not. It is as if you are facing those big waves with the
actors.
The film is at time slow moving but
the acting and special effects are so great that they make the film exciting. The
choice of the music is in perfect concordance with the subject. It gives the film suspense and makes it really worth-watching.
