The Perfect Storm

The storm is coming and it is coming on strong. This is the story of The Perfect Storm. The movie is based on a true story of what happened in 1991 to a group of Gloucester fishermen.

The fishermen went out for a final fishing trip before the end of the season. Led by Captain Skipper, who seemed to be caught in a streak of bad luck. He and his crew were desperate to get a good harvest.

Lady luck wasn't really smiling at them till they got to the Flemish Cap. They started to get a lot of catch. Sadly ill fate had befallen on them. The ice maker broke down, they had no other choice but to head home instead of wasting their catch. As they headed home, they were caught between to two strong brewing storms which became a hurricane. The boat capsized and along with her, she took all the men.

The movie is rather well filmed with great special effects. You can't help but find yourself grabbing the edge of the seat as the movie rightly timed the treacherous encounters with giant waves! It is amazing and scary at the same time. Deep inside your heart, you wish the fishermen will ride through this storm safely while bearing your teeth as they surfed through the waves in the horrendous storm.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 fairy clouds. A movie worth watching.
