I almost fell asleep. The plot is so depressing and the linking of the watch makes no sense at all. And then it also involves love which adds to the dullness. Just another IMDb movie with artificially bumped up ratings. Don't watch unless you want to feel down for one and half hours long.

The Admiral
(2015)
Been waiting for this historical setting for some time now
3 February 2015
I've always fantasized about this naval period. This movie gave me the chance to experience this strange deceptive era in theatrical form.
The young republic, striving to establish and maintain strong trading routes, are flawed by who they thought were their allies all along. Physically and mentally provoked and by three nations at once, it goes to show that a country can indeed establish itself through courage, determination and wit.
Long as the film was, I found it a wonderful experience to watch from start to finish. I didn't expect to see scenes in England, let alone ones containing the mad monarchist King James II. What a mentalist.
Many scenes featuring the Dutch King Willem II and admiral Tromp were simply captivating to the point that I felt I was actually living the moment in that era.
Michiel de Ruyter, has definitely won a place in my heart and I will definitely be watching this one again someday.
