Trafalgar was a major naval engagement in the age of sail, between the alliance of French and Spanish sea power against British sea power. France at that time commanded an unequaled continental army under the command of military genius Napoleon Bonaparte, while the British navy was considered the supreme force on the worlds seas. British Admiral Nelson gained legendary status due to his participation in this battle. Some small artistic license is taken by allowing the main narrator / protagonist to be the French Sea Captain Pierre-Charles Villeneuve. I suppose some historians may thus feel that some parts of the film are biased towards Villenueve, due to the sympathetic treatment of his positions and giving his imagined viewpoint. Regardless, the film accurately tells the history of the battle, including related prior histories of previous experience between major players in this naval war. I found it always engaging, while learning a great amount of information. If you enjoy learning about the age of these great battles in the age of sail,Trafalgar is worth watching.
