Review of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) by Mike T — 06 Jan 2015
Peter Weir handles this material masterfully, gracing us with an old-fashioned epic that is as entertaining as it is well-made. Not only is it enhanced by the highest production value possible, but it is emotionally rich and full of powerful subtext.
Russell Crowe headlines a cast of superb performances, giving this lavishly directed piece a human foundation. Top-notch photography, sound editing/mixing, art direction, costume design, etc. A beautiful, absorbing movie.
