Great movie with outstanding performances from all concerned and awesome production values. The sound effects are top notch.

This film was made to fully utilize the possibilities of 5.1 surround sound. Unlike most films, where the surround sound is almost an afterthought, Master and Commander Far Side of the World is as much an audible as a visual extravaganza! They spent almost as much on perfecting the 'sound immersion' as on the fabulous filming. You hear what's going on on the deck above your head as other activities play out around you. Especially during the action scenes, it's worth playing through twice: once with your eyes open, then replay with your eyes closed, to fully appreciate how well crafted are the three-dimensional sound effects of this film. I highly recommend it.

Aubrey Maturin transferred beautifully to the wide screen. Jack is probably not as rotund as he's supposed to be, but the characters are superb. The books from which this movie is made are absolutely the best seafaring novels ever, and this movie captures the hardships, adventure and excitement of them. I wonder if any more will ensue, as there is a wealth of really good material in the books. The landscapes are breathtaking and the sound superb. The entire cast are a delight, and could easily have done a "Hornblower" in terms of a series, although no doubt at horrendous cost. Totally recommended.

Didn't think i would rate this film, thought it was a proper man type film, but once I took the time to sit down & watch it in full I really enjoyed it, & got completely involved in feeling for the characters
