My AP European History teacher offered us extra credit if we went to see Master and Commander this weekend, I went, and it was far worse than it’s ratings would lead you to believe (it got 5 stars). Anyway, it hardly has a plot except for an English ship vs. a French ship. They fight 3 times, each battle lasts for 20 minutes, and then they heal their wounded and have funerals, it was _kind of_ interesting after the first battle, but was just plain boring by the end of the movie. It kind of had the same effect as the Perfect Storm- wave after wave after wave. Apparently it was historically accurate, but I guess real history isn’t that entertaining, would have been better if they strayed from the facts a bit to make the overall plot better and make it seem more thought out. Overall- the good special effects and historical accuracy don’t make up for the lack of a plot. Just to give you an idea, there were people snoring during the second battle scene, 40 minutes into the movie…
