Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
After an abrupt and violent encounter with a French warship inflicts severe damage upon his ship, a captain of the British Royal Navy begins a chase over two oceans to capture or destroy the enemy, though he must weigh his commitment to duty and ferocious pursuit of glory against the safety of his devoted crew, including the ship's thoughtful surgeon, his best friend.

The number one, most anticipated movie in 4K for years, this is a colossus that did not receive the proper response when it hit the movie theatres but immediately garnered a loyal following among the more discerning public. With a perfect music score, excellent casting, unforgettable characters and a story that sea-changes from escape to pursuit, framed by beautiful vistas and artful cinematography in a historical fantasy, this is an example of what movies should be like. Disbelief is suspended and for a space of hours, we sail for country, victory and the prize.
