Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)
Movie
Released
Shipboard work and the friendship between Aubrey and Maturin can sustain conflict without inventing a world-ending enemy. Another voyage could make scientific curiosity and naval duty compete under different conditions. That is a story engine worth revisiting, while a new cast or an earlier period would have to earn the same lived-in relationships.

About Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
After an abrupt and violent encounter with a French warship inflicts severe damage upon his ship, a captain of the British Royal Navy begins a chase over two oceans to capture or destroy the enemy, though he must weigh his commitment to duty and ferocious pursuit of glory against the safety of his devoted crew, including the ship's thoughtful surgeon, his best friend.
