The Perfect Storm

"Instant calamity (Just add water). (...) When in its final scenes the movie desperately tries to churn up some of the celestial schmaltz of "Titanic," it is too little too late and feels obligatory despite the abundance of heart and chemistry that Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane bring to their roles of a wildly-in-love young couple". 

"A well-crafted example of a film of pure sensation. (...) I do not mind admitting I was enthralled. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Much storm, little drang. (...) The discrepancy between the sophistication of the special effects and the rudimentary dramaturgy results in a $140 million film that may raise your blood pressure, but leaves the rest of you distinctly unengaged".
