Master and commander is an action pact film which follows a British naval ship on its travels around the American waters.
Always on the look out for French or Spanish fleets, the captain of the ship played by Russell Crow are stuck in a mist when they are suddenly attacked by a supremely larger naval vessel, just managing to escape the British crew want to seek revenge and lay plans to chase the vessel.

On an epic journey we see the British go to all cost to track down the ship, they face severe problems. Can they prevail?

The attention to detail used in this film is exceptional; the director has really done a great job on making the movie look authentic and very realistic. The special effects used bring the film to life. The acting is superb and certainly makes you believe the film is real.

The action scenes through out the movie are very realistic but not to gory! This means you can enjoy the film without cowering behind the sofa hiding from the blood! I believe that this is an excellent film that shows a true development of a crew and captain. Russell Crow is exceptional performing at his best we see how a captain struggles to do a duty for his country with such a high cost!

The emotion is built through the use of music it evokes the audience to feel desperate for the British ship and its crew. You feel desperate for the crew as some die or become seriously ill.
You are brought on an exceptional exciting journey through out the film.

This is one to watch!

Summary: This is very energetic film!
