Indeed it is...

...Outbreak this isnt. What a wretched movie that was. The technology alone was patently ridiculous and never mind the plot, script, casting and acting - a genuine loser all the way around.
The perfect storm is probably about as anti-Hollywood as we can hope to get in the here and now from a major studio. Yes, still a bit overly romantic in some character's motivations but the gritty realism of life on the boat is a reminiscent of Das Boot at its best and the storm is indeed awesome and believable. Clooney is acceptable and the rest of the cast is even better in the context of their roles. Not your usual artificial Hollywood happy ending either. It beats the pants off Patriot, which descends into typical Hollywood soppishness and sentimentality (Mel Gibson wins the war of independence - singlehanded!). Easily the best major US studio picture of the year so far...
