I can see why this one was so highly reviewed. Peter Weir, (The Mosquito Coast, Dead Poets Society, The Year of Living Dangerously) puts you on the "Surprise" in a way few movies do. The only 'sea movie cliche', the doctor's operation, has an interesting twist. You can smell the smoke and feel the recoil of the cannon.
The soundtrack is the best 5.1 I've ever heard. Use of the rear channels shows a deft touch by the engineer. Gonna watch it again tonight.
