Stream it now The Perfect Storm 2000

 

one of the worst movies ever made. i've seen this film hailed on television as a great achievement; however, nothing could be farther from the truth. for starters, the plot, despite exposition at the beginning, ends up as nothing more than this: some guys get on a boat and there's a bad storm and the boat sinks. the end. furthermore, the effects shots seem more like an effects SHOT (singular), in that the film seems to keep cutting to the same shot of the boat being tossed by waves. furthermore, in one of the WORST endings in film history, the movie wraps with our men deep under the ocean water. george clooney looks at mark wahlberg...under the water, george is able to communicate the message: "swim to the surface, mark; save yourself; i'm going down with the ship." what nobility! mark looks deep into george's eyes...he gets it. he nods...forget the fact that this makes no sense in the first place, and forget that it's beyond cheesy...what's most frustrating about this scene, what's most absurd, hilarious, and angering at the same time, is that these men are TWENTY FEET UNDER WATER. in the OCEAN. at NIGHT. in a STORM. in real life, they wouldn't be able to see their own hand in front of them, even if the waters were calm and it was a sunny day. i give this movie the award for the most preposterous last thought in the history of cinema. SUCKS.

A depressing melodrama that with fun thrills and visuals manages to entertain.

I liked this movie, it started out kind of boring in the beginning but as it progressed the action got better. The story wasn't as good as it could have been but it was still pretty good.

Not the best destruction with a touch of a love story type of movie, but definitely not the worst. George Clooney leads a great cast through the harsh ocean, and it's a great portrayal of those who were lost at sea. I enjoyed it a lot and I think if you go into it with an open mind it won't be a letdown.

It was ok, maybe sappy at times, but it stands as a tribute to the men who lost their lives during hurricane Grace - the acting was pretty good - clooney makes a good sea captain, and the rest were pretty good too! If you can get past the cliches it wasn't too bad - I like Maritime based movies...

I really loved this movie. I do not know why many people hated this movie. I thought it was a really fantastic adventure movie. The thing that is more intense in this film is that this actually happened. That it is based on a true story, and it is also a book. I loved the actors in this movie like Mark Walhberg, George Clooney, and John C. Reily. This is very adventorous and this is one of my favorite movies and I bet a lot of people disagree with me. So overall give this a shot. Come on. It is fantastic.

10 STARS!!!!!!

I am just sick and tired of movies that are made simply to show off how good the special effects are.

It should be good, but it's not. It's very cliche'. The extreme overacting reminds me of 'Twister'.

I'd much rather watch a couple episodes of 'Deadliest Catch'.

this movie should have been titled "Greed". the first time i've watched it i cried, but that's just because i'm retarded when it comes to movies where people die.

"Oh no! The boat is rocking!" That pretty much sums up the second half of the movie.
