Synopsis: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)
Synopis: 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.Features: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

, May 30, 2004Reviewer: cwo7141 - See all cwo7141's reviewsPros: 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 ...

Pros: Realistic scenery
Cons: Unexpected ending
The movie is a very good image of how the life on a Man-of-war during Napoleon must have been like. It follows Cpt. Jack Aubrey (Crowe) and his crew trying to intercept and destroy a superior French 44-gun ship.
