Nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture!System Requirements:Running Time: 137 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/SWASHBUCKLERS Rating: PG-13 UPC: 024543435501 Manufacturer No: 2243552 Amazon.com essential video: In the capable hands of director Peter Weir, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a seafaring adventure like no other, impeccably authentic, dynamically cast, and thrilling enough to give any classic swashbuckler a run for its money. In adapting two of Patrick O'Brian's enormously popular novels about British naval hero Capt. Jack Aubrey, Weir and cowriter John Collee have changed the timeframe from the British/American war of 1812 to the British/French opposition of 1805, where the HMS Surprise, under Aubrey's confident command, is patrolling the South Atlantic in pursuit of the Acheron, a French warship with the strategic advantage of greater size, speed, and artillery. Russell Crowe is outstanding as Aubrey, firm and fiercely loyal, focused on his prey even if it means locking horns with his friend and ship's surgeon, played by Crowe's A Beautiful Mind costar Paul Bettany. Employing a seamless combination of carefully matched ocean footage, detailed models, full-scale ships, and CGI enhancements, Weir pays exacting attention to every nautical detail, while maintaining a very human story of honor, warfare, and survival under wretched conditions. Raging storms and hull-shattering battles provide pulse-pounding action, and a visit to the Galapagos Islands lends a note of otherworldly wonder, adding yet another layer of historical perspective to this splendidly epic adventure. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:

Rating: - Commanding PerformancePeter Weir is amazing. Utterly and absolutely amazing. In the first 2 or 3 minutes of the movie, the only sound is the ocean. No music. No dialogue. Nothing loud. Simply the gentle susurration of the water. And yet, such an amazing amount of information is conveyed in that short period of time. The opening volley - in the quite literal sense - was shocking. Completely shocking in its violence, its comprehensiveness. Even watching it tonight, for the n-th time, I am jolted from ... Read More Rating: - VERY GOOD!BASED ON A NOVEL (EXCELLENT) THIS IS A GREAT ACTION/ADVENTURE MOVIE. EVEN BETTER IF YOU LIKE SAILING OR HISTORY. Rating: - A strong Blu Ray transfer for "Master and Commander" a highlight of the set which is a bit light on extrasPeter Weir's "Master and Commander" manages to compress two marvelous novels into one marvelous film. Captain "Jack" Aubrey (Russell Crowe in a marvelous performance) and the crew of the Surprise pursue a French warship in Atlantic waters. Out gunned and out classed by a heavier, faster ship, Aubrey is determined to take down the French raider before it takes down another of Her Majesty's Ships. This pursuit will cost his crew, his ship but must be done to keep the waters safe for other vessels. ... Read More |
