MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (Theatrical Release USA 2003)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World—notable camera work—plagues itself with obscurity. The storyline, while well-acted by outstanding actors, needs a Wikipedia plot read before watching to optimize enjoyment of the movie. Otherwise, one may find the story difficult to follow.
