Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World: Review

No, they don't make 'em like they used to — sometimes they're even better. Take Peter Weir's splendid adaptation of Patrick O'Brian's literary adventure novels: It's not only as good as the high-seas movies of yore, but expert special effects bring 19th-century naval warfare to the screen like never before. In what we can only hope is the first in a long series, British sea captain Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe), his old friend Dr. Maturin (Paul Bettany) and the crew of the HMS Surprise are in hot pursuit of a French man o' war intent of bringing Napoleon's rampage to the South Seas.
