		It's 1803, onboard the HMS Surprise, and Capt. Jack Aubrey (a manly Russell Crowe, in a blond ponytail) is awakened by a young officer who might have glimpsed a fearsome French frigate through a frogbank—I mean, fogbank.
		The frigate HMS Surprise is equally majestic, being the main setting of this classy, classic adventure, which is set in 1805 and takes its sailor warriors all the way from the coast of Brazil to the Galapagos Islands — the real ones.
		The H.M.S. is more of an orphanage at sea than a battleship, and Crowe does a great job of showing strength while still showing a weakness or two, namely jingoism and pride, to appear human.
