This movie is highly underrated and I do not know why. The acting is superb; the friendship between Russell Crowe's Captain Aubrey and Paul Bettany's Doctor Maturin is fantastic. The cinematography is eye-popping; the ocean never looked so great and inviting. The direction is great; is Peter Weir just as underrated as this movie? The story is engaging; the exciting open sea battles, intriguing oceanic pursuit, and what I assume is realistic and entertaining crew dynamics draw you in. Never have I wanted more to be a 18th/19th century sea voyager, yet at the same time glad I'm not. This movie is strong in every aspect and I have no idea why more people don't like. You like it! You better like it! I'm telling you to like it now! You'll like it and like liking it! Like it!

Scott has been trying to get me to watch this movie for years, but I've never been interested. Maybe I'll watch it now.
