Yahoo! I love this one...When I was making my voting ballot for the top 2000s decade movies, Master and Commander was the first movie I thought of. I've seen this twice now and it holds up well.
I liked the confined microcosm of an early 19th century British war ship. The chain of command, the duties to one's ship and country, the protocols and camaraderie were all very much something I enjoyed seeing as it reminded of Star Trek, especially STTNG.
The stormy seas which were filmed for real off the horn of South America sure looked furious and the sea battles were some of the best I've seen. My favorite part was on the Galapagos island. Master and Commander was the first movie to film there too. Yup this one is right towards the top of my voting list.
