Title: Rivetting!
Review: A true must-see for any wartime & maritime action movie lover! Peter Weir has done an excellent job of bringing Patric O'Brian's masterieces on to the widescreen. Great acting, great special effects and outstanding soundtrack and music! Truth to tell, I watched the movie and then read the Books "Master and Commander" and "Far Side of the World" - plus I ordered 3 more books of the series from this site!In this movie one can trully experience life onboard a napoleonic period warship - all the hardships, malnutrition and injuries that the crew faced on a daily basis.Ok, it is true that many alterations have been made to the plot for the film version (which is of course an amalgamation of the two books mentioned above) but they are completely understandable for this purpose.The ending of the film left me wanting more though, and I am looking forward to a part II of this movie! It is without question the best thing after "Captain Horatio Hornblower" with Gregory Peck.
