I don't want to spoil too much for those of you who have not seen this. This has my heart rate through the roof.  I thought the effects were incredible, especially for a 23-year-old movie... I felt like I was in the storm!! Enjoy!

[Full Reaction] The Perfect Storm (2000)

Comments

Terry Yelmene

...this time... it was Cassie throwing the down-on-their-luck fishermen of the Andrea Gail a kiss goodbye... that's all it took... an instant 'Perfect' PiB Classic Reaction!!! From there it... it became apparent Cassie had never even seen the effect of a hurricane before, not to mention one out at sea. Cassie didn't understand "the eye of the storm." And in the end, Cassie didn't understand the fishermen of Gloucester. Thank you for reacting to this one Cassie.

Love this movie so much, but really wish they stuck more to the facts. Thanks to radio contact with other boats in the fleet, we have a very good timeline of events they went through on their final trip and the film isn't entirely accurate to that. It's also not made explicitly clear, but these guys work 20hr days on the fishing grounds of the Grand Banks, where they spend about 20 to 30 days per trip. I think the biggest thing that irks me is that the film shows them all CHOOSING to steam through a storm they knew was dangerous, but this isn't what happened. They were halfway home, had an underreported forecast calling for "mild weather" and the three storms collided overtop of them. The real story was moreso tragic and really not their fault.

Just watched this one. I think I’ve seen it before, but never understood the appeal or point of it. I supposed Cassie’s natural reaction at the end is what they were going for, but it’s just not my cup of tea. (that’s a first for me!) 😧 Funniest Cassie Quote Ever: “I don’t eat fish, so I’m not part of the problem!” I think I blew mashed potatoes halfway across the room. LOL

Yea like I said. I missed seeing that was on the right side of the 3 movie pic. Then looked again latter, and was like, ohhh and that one to. Yea pretty good one.

Good movie and fun reaction, but having watched Deadliest Catch a lot over the years since I last saw the movie makes a lot of the action, storm, and rescue scenes seem a bit more over the top. (and yes I know the show is a somewhat dramatized reality show but they do show real footage of storms and coast guard rescues)

Richard Maurer

That's why they say "based on a true story". Movies that are fictionalized accounts of true stories will always change things to make them more dramatic. If they stuck strictly to the facts it would be a documentary.

Richard Maurer

That was funny, but also ironically true. I don't eat swordfish because they're a threatened species. So, like Cassie, I'm not a part of the problem either. At least not that particular problem.

Richard Maurer

And this is a completely dramatized movie, so naturally it's a little over the top. But then again, no one on Deadliest Catch ever faced a storm of that magnitude either.

“The Guardian” and “The Abyss”.

The Guardian is a good movie that highlights the Coastguard Rescue

This is one of my favorite movies. Something about that kinda ocean/fishing culture, towns right on the oceanfront, etc. This movie made me really want to go to Gloucester up in Massachusetts, someday.

Please just chuck Deep Water Horizon into the mix one day. That movie is criminally under rated. It completely changed the way I look at the oil and gas industry and put it all into perspective. It is a wild ride. I’ve never been so on edge in a film.

Joe vs the Volcano is my favorite Tom Hanks movie (followed closely by The Money Pit) and is so worth it for you to watch. I think you'd very much enjoy both it and St Elmo's Fire, which is a solid brat pack flick with and extremely well regarded soundtrack.
