Well...that final scene with Clooney looking up from the wheelhouse whilst underwater was just too much for me, just like parts of Titanic. I guess in hindsight my distaste for this movie was not so much accuracy, but execution. They got a lot of things right, such as baiting the lines, and the general going on's of a longhauler catching swordfish in the Atlantic. But it could have been so much better. The directors want heroes, so they have to make a scene with someone trying to lock the boom in place look like an epic LOTR battle sequence. The book was fascinating, but this was an example of what I talked about in my previous post-for this movie, I could not suspend belief and just enjoy-the story was to real for me to do that personally. Independence Day was just a very basic storyline that a lot of people could have written, but was done in a way that was just fun, a movie I would still watch while relaxing at home. The Perfect Storm was one where they had all the tools in place to make a real event come to life again, but which had an open ending. No one really knows what happened, so when they showed that enormous wave, I was expecting, that's it, that's how they will end it, by just showing this enormous wave. Instead they had to show Wahlberg floating to the surface and Clooney somehow whilst drowning watching him go, in the big dramatic moment that felt completely tacked on, and completely unnecessary.
