Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The Far Side of the World, the Center of My Heart
This is probably my favorite movie of all time. I've had the DVD and Vudu version of it since it came out. I saw it opening week in theatres. I have the novels and so on...I love it. I never had the Bluray until recently though, and I must say, it's quite an upgrade. Even compared to the Vudu version, the bluray is a great transfer and for the price Best Buy so generously offers it, it's a steal. Please, support not only the films of Russell Crowe, but media about the Age of Exploration. Thank you.
This didn't get the love Gladiator got and that's because it's not without flaws but, the opening scene may be one of the best in movie history. Visuals and sound especially make this a strong consideration for any fan of action/adventure movies. At 5 bucks or whatever there's virtually no risk to owning this overlooked if flawed gem.
One of the best adventure/war movies of all time. Russell Crowe is superb as the Commander of a British frigate during the Napoleonic Wars. A distinctly different take on the British Navy from a similar period piece, Mutiny on the Bounty. This Blu-ray edition comes with a digital copy for an unbeatable price.
