Well, we also have Master and Commander from Netflix and we plan to watch it tonight. Sounds like we have a consensus on the movie's sound effects, if not on the movie itself. I really hope the movie suits me and that metalaaron's negative review is just a matter of taste. :-) I'm a BIG fan of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series of books that is the basis for the movie (they somehow melded together the stories from first and tenth books of the 20-book series) and I sure hope they haven't screwed it up. Sometimes they do screw it up (have you ever watched Dune?) and sometimes they don't (the Lord of the Rings trilogy, for instance). We'll see.
