That *IS* the real ocean you're seeing on screen. It was the ship, not the sea, that was CGI'd. It was intended to be a typical storm off Cape Horn, so the producers filmed the ocean at Cape Horn from a ship retracing Captain Cook's original voyage.The storm in M&C wan't meant to be the storm of the century, like in Perfect Storm. It was meant to depict the typically treacherous weather encountered 'round the Horn.
BTW, I LOVED M&C. This film and ROTK may restore my faith in commercial filmmaking.
