The Admiral
The case is about a naval battle in late October 1597 in Myeongryang, Korea. In that period, the Japanese army was invading the Joseon Dynasty and the Jazun Ara, which was defeated on all fronts. Admiral Yi Sanxin is being recruited for a real battle to boost the morale of the soldiers in an unprecedented battle against 330 warships from Japan. This is the battle in which Joson Castle was at risk of falling into the hands of the dangerous Japanese at the time.

A huge box-office success overseas, this epic-in-every-way impresses through its sheer mass and volume.August 15, 2014
The sea battles are absolutely epic, more realistic and thrilling than John Woo's 2008 "Red Cliff" or even Peter Weir's 2003 "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World."July 30, 2015
There's a commanding sense of scale and heft on screen; one achieved without sacrificing coherency or personal stakes.August 14, 2014
The film is already a hit in South Korea, but it lacks the character interest that might make it connect elsewhere.
