sad ending, quelle surprise.

I would have said "Pretty good movie" until everyone died at the end. Excuse me, but if this is a true story, WHO is telling the story if everyone died???

Excuse me, but if this is a true story, WHO is telling the story if everyone died??? Don't you think that's a bit too much fictional story telling there. I mean, when the guys were on the boat, who knew that Sully and Murphy had a fight? Who knew that everyone wanted to risk going home to save all the fish? Who knew that they tried to turn back??

However, I can't really give it the 4 stars I want to give it because it's just too damn sad. I mean, I've seen and loved some extremely sad movies, such as The Road, Schindler's List, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. But for some reason I found this movie nearly unbearably tragic and almost too heartbreaking to endure more than once. Kudos to George Clooney on a terrific and genuinely heartbreaking performance, but the movie just wrecks me.

A sense of reality is essential, and it's sorely lacking.

A well-crafted example of a film of pure sensation

The Perfect Storm shook me, and the feeling lingered.
