Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End Blu-ray Review Disney Blu-ray MSRP: $35.99 Released: December 4, 2007
The final film in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy took fans back to the world of Pirates, allowing them to spend 3 more hours with the likes of Captain Jack Sparrow and others in what made for one amazingly entertaining film. Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End has left the box office now and is about to release in high-definition on Blu-ray. The first two films had tremendous releases on the Blu-ray format and we are happy to say that the third film is no different!
The third film in the trilogy has all of the infamous characters back an in action. For those who do not remember, in the second film, Dead Man’s Chest, Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, was killed and sent to Davy Jones’ Locker.
The film starts with Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom, Elizabeth Swan, played by Keira Knightley, and Captain Barbossa played by Geoffrey Rush, setting out to try and rescue Jack. Jack is so important because he is the last of nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren needed so that they can unite and defeat the evil swelling up against them.
Lord Cutler Beckett played by Tom Hollander an Davy Jones, played by Bill Nighy are your two villains here. Beckett holds all the power as he has control of Jones’ heart, and is using the power to wipe out whatever is left of the pirates.
For those who saw the second film, Dead Man’s Chest, and thought that not much of the story was filled in, get ready for At World’s End. You are brought to many amazing locations and will witness some truly stunning action sequences throughout the film, all while this 3-hour epic wraps up the series as best as possible. Needless to say, Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End does not disappoint in any manner as Depp and company are all spectacular once again. This is, in my opinion, the best out of the three films in the trilogy.
The audio and video presentation of this release on the Blu-ray format, are done extremely well. The video specifically is incredibly impressive. The video is encoded in AVC in 1080p making for an amazingly clear picture throughout. The solid black levels, flesh tones, color depth, etc make this one of the most impressive Blu-ray releases to date. You can go from the opening scene in a very dark location where there are amazing black levels and such to a location out on the high seas where the ocean appears to be popping off the screen due to the vibrant colors. The film comes alive on the Blu-ray format and Captain Jack has never looked so good!
The audio is no different as it is presented in 5.1 48 kHz, 24-bit uncompressed sound. There are also 5.1 Dolby Digital mixes in English, Spanish, and French. The audio is tremendous as the dialogue is extremely clear and crisp in the front channels. The special effects are also extremely impressive as they fill up the surround channels nicely. The subwoofer has a great deal of power behind it as well. The Maelstrom scene sounds incredible to say the least thanks to Blu-ray. Also, the musical score sounds superb.
