Buy This Item Master and Commander - The Far Side of the World (Widescreen... by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $9.49  on 8-30-2008     When a sudden attack by a French warship inflicts casualities and severe damage upon his vessel, Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey (Crowe) of the British Royal Navy is torn between duty and friendship as he embarks on a thrilling, high-stakes chase across two oceans to intercept and capture the enemy at any cost. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture! Reader Reviews Where do I even begin? I LOVE this film. I found the acting to be superb, the script was well thought out and believable, the effects were incredible in that you believe them without thinking "Neat effect". I loved the claustrophobic feel of being on the ship with them, the pandemonium of the battle scenes, the touching friendships, and even the old sea tales and superstitions. The blood and battles were realistic without being over-the-top gore fests. And for the first time in a while... I truely cared what happened to these characters. I wanted so badly for the Doctor to get his creatures, and for Jack to catch his ship. The characters were protrayed as intelligent (which is rare in action and adventure films) and Jack and the French captain (whom you rarely see) play a tremendous game of mental chess throughout the film. A word to the wise... there are several instances where the dialogue was hard to hear... I turned up the surround sound and almost blew it out at the next cannon battle. The fight scenes will shake the walls if you have surround sound.
