Re: "The Unperfect Storm": A Potential Viewer's Dilemma.

I reviewed the film (see below) after seeing it before its theatrical release. I won't repeat those comments. However, your friend is right. There are some, IMHO, minor verisimilitude issues--

>Guys that float in the water pretty easily with rubber boots and foul weather suits on and no apparent flotation devices.

>People handling large sheets of plywood on deck in what are supposed to be Force 10 or Force 11 winds without getting blown away, literally.

>People climbing outriggers and things in the middle of the storm without getting thrown off.

>There being more apparent visibility than would actually exist in winds of this strength, which would blow so much spray as to create "white out" conditions near the sea surface.

These didn't bother me that much, and I've seen the movie a second time (with my wife, who couldn't attend the preview showing I saw on June 28). As they say, YMMV.
