Let me first say that this movie was done very well. The acting was great, I really believed that the cast was out at sea a long time ago on these huge ships propelled by the wind. Russel Crowe was great and there was a real conflict that was depicted. I have talked to friends that really like this movie. For me it was very slow and boring. I was in the Navy for 10 years and let me tell you watching sailors at sea is not very enjoyable or interesting to watch. Like I said the movie was done well and the acting was great. If history is your thing and you are into boating or Naval history then check it out. For the rest of us, skip it. I was begging my wife to leave, she wanted to see the end. There is not much action, its in the end and beginning of the movie.
