I randomly showed this movie in my World History class a few years ago after my students did two full days of state testing. They were exhausted and we were wrapping up our Napoleonic Wars unit. I put it on thinking none of them would watch it, but it would at least be some background noise while they worked on missing assignments and it was relevent to our unit. ALL of my students were glued to the screen, not a phone in sight, just fully invested in the story of Jack Aubrey and the HMS Surprise. I was happy to learn that one of my students picked up the first two books while out shopping at Barnes & Noble with his mom and by the time he graduated last year he read the entire series.

This movie deserved so many awards. It’s a masterpiece

Someday and mark my words: I’m going come back to this comment and say it finally happened… Somebody is going to have a Hollywood budget and make a Trafalgar movie with this quality. Hopefully in my lifetime!

[mansah]

there wont be another masterpiece like this one. words arent enough to praise the camera work, sound and the naval battle accuracy. always amazed and in awe. hats off to Peter Wier.

Not only does this sequence show an understanding of age of sail naval combat, but it also demonstrates its understanding of French and British firing tactics. French crews aimed high to kill officers and take down the masts reducing maneuverability, British crews aimed close to the waterline to cause flooding and dwindle return fire.

Most underrated and unawarded movie in my cinematic experience of 41 years. Deserved and still deserves a sequel

“Straight at them Mr. Moet”
“Straight at them sir”
Sends chills down your back

[steelhammer]

I love the opening sequence of how the light of the cannon barrage is shown though the fog, and then followed up by the rumbles of the cannons, and then the momentary pause before cannonballs hit ship. I can watch that sequence over and over again.

2:13 I could watch that scene forever. It’s like an old oil painting. Amazing period in human existence. Such a beautiful and deadly way to make war.

20 years old and still looks fresh as a daisy.. Such an underrated movie

[kelleymcbride]

This movie gets better every time I watch it. Great Sunday afternoon rainy day movie. Adventure, loyalty, honor, discipline, hard work, friendship and sacrifice this movie has it all!

[wulfheort]

A movie with a wonderful storyline, character arcs and even historical accuracy. My heart is satisfied.

[kjgoebel]

Astounding! A filmmaker who understands that sound doesn't travel instantaneously. I've seen that in maybe one other movie ever.

[deadreckoning]

This opening scene in the theater was one of the most impressive Ive ever experienced.

[matthewishunting]

The sound design in this movie is a character in itself. Bravo work

[bbd]

Such an Incredible Movie! Damn shame it didn't get the recognition it deserves.

[TesGon]

Haven't watched this movie for about 5 years....damn. I started to tear up a little just from this scene. How bloddy good it was.

[briantaylor]

Love this movie. Had it on DVD and watched it at least 6 times lol.

Most accurate Age of Sail movie to date.

[niklasdanielson]

Watched this movie more times than I could count, same thing with this scene and yet it was only now I noticed there's a cow in the background at 2:09. The attention to detail in this film is incredible...
