lewis s Looking at the ratings makes me question this whole RTs BS. This is a great movie, nominated for 2 Oscars, which should have been Best Picture. Oh, but wait, no one had to deal with inner turmoil over their relationship with their dad. Poor baby!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Gordo R Based on a true story and it could have been entertaining but instead it lacks depth in the characters especially Mark Wahlberg who once again sleepwalks through his role. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Jithin K The visual effects were probably the best part of the movie. You really feel like you are also trapped in that ocean during this storm. The initial setting up, albeit being cheesy worked really well and forms the emotional core of the movie. All the relationships really worked for me and that really carried the whole movie emotionally. Because considering the changes to the true story, this kind of makes the crew look like morons even when the music tells you otherwise. There are so many stupid decisions shown in the movie that are all fiction. Even with all that, the cast was very charming and all the relationship stuff worked really well to make it really enjoyable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Audience Member This was horrific..... Telling if a story that no one knows. This can't be called "based on a true story". There is no real connection with the characters, The end of the film made me feel unfulfilled. It's in the top of my list of worst movies of all time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Garrett B It has great VFX, music score, and emotional depth. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Audience Member This film, based on the true story and novel of the same name, follows Billy Tyne, the captain of the swordfishing boat Andrea Gail, and his crew. After a disappointing fishing trip and a streak of bad luck, they decide to leave their families behind once more and return to the open sea in search of a better haul. However, when a confluence of powerful weather fronts and a hurricane creates the "perfect storm," the crew must battle the raging seas to make it back home—an ordeal that will be anything but smooth sailing. Overall, due to an evocative score, immersive visual effects, a stellar cast with undeniable chemistry that exudes brotherhood and camaraderie every time they are on screen, and a tense, emotional atmosphere, this movie is quite good, and although I'm not particularly interested in or knowledgeable about fishing, and too much time is spent on side characters who are experiencing the storm rather than focusing on our leads, I still very much enjoyed my time with this disaster feature and It serves as a fitting tribute to the lives lost that day and the families they left behind.
