If there's ever been a film I've been more mad at myself for not watching until now it's this one. First off being about naval warfare during the Napoleonic Wars already made this incredible unique as I had never really seen many films taking place during this time. The basically involves Captain Jack Aubrey (played by Russell Crowe) being assigned to take out a large French ship called the Acheron. The other main character is the ships doctor Stephen Maturin (played by Paul Bettany.) Throughout the film I was completely engaged to the crews stuggle of chasing after this ship and the toles it took on everyone. After watching it and noticing that it was based on some books I really wish we got a sequel as there is certainly a lot of potential there. If you haven't seen this film I'd highly recommend it especially if you like the time period and epic war-drama films in general. If you have seen it what did you think of it? For anyone interested I put a fully detailed review on letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/predator467/film/master-and-commander-the-far-side-of-the-world/

Edit: Wow I did not expect this to receive such wonderful discussion I've had a great time looking through all your comments! Nice to know there's a lot of people out there who also love this film!
