Russell Crowe is Lucky Jack Aubrey, the Navy’s greatest fighting captain and Paul Bettany is ship's doctor Stephen Maturin. The ship, the Surprise, is suddenly attacked by a superior enemy. With the Surprise badly damaged and much of his crew injured, Aubrey – the "Master" of the Surprise and "Commander" of his men – is torn between duty and friendship as he sets sail in a high-stakes chase across two oceans, to the far side of the world, to intercept and capture their foe. It's a mission that can decide the fate of a nation – or destroy Lucky Jack and his crew. The film is based on the narrative outline of the tenth book in Patrick O'Brian's legendary "Aubrey/Maturin" series of high seas novels about the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars.

    Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

    By Michael  May 30, 2004

    Pros: Great swashbuckler, tall ship action, no women

    Cons: N/A

    Patrick O'Brian's tails of the high seas during the 19th century are alive with a very accurate story here. The realness here is that there is not one woman in the story, and yet I was glued to the action.I recently flew from Tokyo to Paris, ...then back to Tokyo and watched this film 6 times. I loved the new Hornblower series and see a great comparison here with C.F. Forrester in the making. This movie takes me back to the 1960’s when a movie took me with it, and into a realm which placed me in the story. Unlike modern day movies (1980 and earlier) with just another shoot'em up, beat'em up, the F word and sex filled screen plot which is predictable. This picture will inspire many to join the navy, learn sailing and seek out more knowledge to the history of that age and maybe a trip someday to the real Galapagos Islands. Watch it more than once, sail with Lucky Jack and HOLD FAST as we come about. Read more Less

    By David  May 2, 2004 | 1 out of 3 found this Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) review helpful

    Pros: the ships

    Cons: weak dialogue and acting

    An enjoyable romp through the early 19th Century, but without the depth or the attention to detail that made A&E's "Hornblower" series so successful. Still, it's better than most recent action films.
