Set in 1805, as Britain fought to maintain naval supremacy in the early years of the Napoleonic Wars, Master and Commander is an impeccable adventure movie worth revisiting via its new 4K Ultra HD re-release. Inasmuch as it’s possible for an already well-regarded film to be re-appraised, Master and Commander has recently enjoyed an odd second act. Why Is Master and Commander Important to See Now? You’ll come for the naval battles, but you’ll stay because it’s satisfying to watch hard-working men take a fiddling break. Master and Commander is available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray now.
