C4 Film

Master & Commander - just been on C4 tonight.

The best naval battle scenes ever filmed. Hugely impressive.

(The DVD is even better).

I’ll second that Simon, it’s just a pity he’s names not Hornblower! Lol

All these Napoleonic/naval authors nicked the idea from Hornblower but this film is near perfect.

It's bang on for ship detail & accuracy and those battle scenes would have taken a massive effort to shoot. They even got the flying splinters down to a T. An awesome piece of filming.

Got it on DVD, excellent. First saw it on a Virgin atlantic flight to Barbados, made the flight seem quicker!:lol:
