Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Two-Disc Limited Edition)

This is Shere Khan. Bringing you a review for Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End blu-ray/dvd package, recently I did one for the second film Dead Man's Chest, which as I said in that review, it was amazing and worthy sequel to the Pirates of the Caribbean series. This one, being the third installment, I have to say is also excellent, I would have to say right after the Curse of the Black Pearl, it is the fourth best in the series right before the fifth film that recently came out, that happens to be my last favorite of them all, though don't expect a review from me for that, because I have no plans to buy it cuz I'm not exactly a fan of that film. The plot is really hectic and requires audience members to pay extra close attention if they wish to follow what is going on. A basic summary of the film: Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), and the rest of Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp)'s crew with the aid of the recently resurrected Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) take a venture to Davy Jones' Locker after passing through Singapore and traveling to the World's End, basically the entrance to the land of the dead to rescue the fallen Captain Sparrow after his grim fate by the Kraken. Each has their own reason for doing so: Barbossa wants Jack back to assemble the legendary Bretheren Court of Pirate Lords with him, Will desires the Black Pearl to free his father Bootstrap Bill from the Dutchman's curse, and Elizabeth couldn't live with herself after she let Jack die at the end of the 2nd film. Afterwards, they all assemble with all the Pirate Lords throughout the sea to determine the fate of all pirates as the new threat of the East India Trading Company, who are in possession of the heart of Davy Jones therefore have control over Jones himself, seek to end Piracy once and for all. Pirates 3 is a worthy sequel to Dead Man's Chest in in of itself, that is if you don't let the film's habit of throwing in random plot point after the other bother you. Yes, apparently Jack Sparrow and Barbossa are Pirate Lords? Yeah there's a Bretheren Court of pirates apparently. The one scene in the film that is the silliest and most random part is the releasing of the sea goddess Calypso, who is revealed to be Tia Dalma, who is also the lover of Davy Jones. That scene is always weird to see, the way they did it was interesting but silly too. Throughout the film, there are constant deals happening from all sides, betrayals, and it's enough to make somebody wonder is there no end to the conflict. It can really be a tiring process to sit through. However, the film, just like the rest of them, is still an awesome, fun, swashbuckling adventure with many great action sequences. The highlight has got to be the epic maelstrom final battle with the Black Pearl vs. The Flying Dutchman, the crews of the Pearl and the Dutchman fighting agaisnt one another, Barbossa cackling for his own pleasure at the helm as the battle rages on, Will and Eliabeth of course getting married during the war, which is sweet but unrealistic as it happens. Jack's fight with Davy Jones is a phenomanal duel and final confrontation. The humor is always great and the characters are fun to watch over and over again, particularly all the scenes with Sparrow and Barbossa bickering with one another are the BEST. LET'S face it, those two are the faces of the series. That's all I really have to say about the film. I give it a five star rating because for what it is, it's amazing. And I'm not too difficult to please when it comes to Pirates of the Caribbean. If you're a fan of the films like me, Shere Khan, you'll enjoy it fully. If not, the minute the Locker scene with Jack Sparrow talking to hundreds of hallucinations of himself comes on, it will cause you to turn the TV off instantly. The delivery was successful and both the discs look great and work just the way I wanted them too :) This is it for now. Until next time. Happy shopping! .

With every argument, one person always states a film to be a success. Naturally, the opposer would say otherwise. With the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series, that aforementioned arrangement has dominated the perceptions that we moviegoers have been forced to face in watching these films. Now, having seen all three, I can honestly say, that anyone who takes the time to critique a film should at least know that no film, even if if is a "Godfather" or "Lord of the Rings," will ever go without receiving negative criticism. "At World's End" is no exception. Needless to say that "At World's End" most definitely is not "The Godfather" or "Lord of the Rings;" however, this film does possess what the other two examples claim. It is a film that entertains, a film that captures the imagination, and a flim that once seen compels any viewer to stay and watch it again. For those looking for masterpieces, venture to your local art musuem or library, for the producers and makers of this film are not trying to create a masterpiece, but simply, they are attempting to do what all other movie production companies do, entertain the masses. This film achieves those goals. With that said, now I will address the film. The third pirates movie starts with the comical and heavy-hearted pirates we have come to love deal with the fallout of the conclusion of "Dead Man's Chest." The charismatic Captain Jack Sparrow has fallen along with his infamous vessel the Black Pearl. The new villians who are out to destroy the pirate world have gained the upper hand, and our not quite heroic heroes are left with heavy burdens to bear and new problems to solve. Tia Dalma, the seer and guide that has steered Barbossa, Will and Elizabeth on their new quest to rescue Jack, has joined the crew, taking the story in new directions along with her. A new character emerges to add depth and persona to the film, especially giving that the heroes are no longer in the Caribbean. Chow Yun-Fat, a majestic and charismatic actor in his own right, joins the cast as the venerable and treacherous Captain Sao Feng, pirate leader of Singapore. Though his part in the film is not lengthy, his character commands the presence necessary to leave a permanent impression. The other stars, Depp, Rush, Knightley, and Bloom all reprise their characters with the same vigor and intention displayed in the earlier two and don't miss a beat in carrying their characters to the final outcome of the film. However, what truly takes center stage in this film is the backstory that involves Lord Cutler Beckett and the cause for his machinations, Davy Jones and what sent him on his quest for retribution, and Tia Dalma and the true history behind her presence. Those storylines intertwined with the others create a plethora of intrigue, Q & A, and new developments that could lead to a possible fourth film. Do not let the rants of outrage, negativity and hateful reviews keep you from watching a fun film. "At World's End" simply put, is what it seems, a film of great quality and entertainment.

There's plenty of plot summaries about, so I won't repeat those. If you haven't seen the movie, and are expecting another bubbly POTC1, or romping POTC2 (which I also love) - well, all I can say is that a group of us saw this opening day, and I left the theater (as a huge POTC fan) in shock - the kind you get from a roller coaster, and go back for more (which I did for AWE). I didn't expect the director to pull out all the stops the way he did, OR to pull out the rug from any number of amusingly outraged viewers who have sputtered in fury at the way things didn't turn out the way you thought they should. It's refreshing. This film IS epic, bittersweet, funny, fine performances by a perfectly chosen cast, superb set and costume details, wonderful camera work, and one of the best-scored films I have ever seen (first movie soundtrack I ever bought). Critics have complained re the length and the plot twists - for my part I admire the way the writers drew threads from the first Pirates and wove a rich, multi-faceted story, completing storylines opened in Pirates 2. (And oh, yeah, there isn't enough Jack, but there's never enough Jack, and Davy Jones' and Elizabeth/Will's story also needs to be told). This is a movie to sink into, and re-watch many times - I hope for more POTC but I don't know how some of the scenes in this movie can be topped. The director moves from sad/tense scenes to funny with a sure touch, much like the camera moves effectively from foreground shots to back, and from grand sweeping shots to close-ups - so the film never drags, with perfectly "matching" music. As far as the DVD set, I don't know technical details but I have no complaints about the sound/picture of the DVDs, except this is a movie that demands a big screen. The bonus features are interesting and enjoyable and give some taste of the stupendous amount of work involved in creating AWE (as does watching the end credits). Disney does a fine job with its DVD menus and menu graphics - only annoying thing is a Disney DVD commercial I can't find a way to menu out of, fortunately it's short. The bloopers still make me laugh - biggest complaint is only 2 deleted scenes (and POTC fans KNOW there was more footage, it even shows up in the trailers) but I am hoping for an extended edition of AWE eventually). Finally - this movie really is a completion of Dead Man's Chest - you really need to see Pirates 2 (and preferably Pirates 1 as well) to truly enjoy At World's End.

Video arrived in a timely manner. Great condition and great movie! 😊

The Pirates of the Caribbean series has been enjoyable from the very beginning. With the incredible non-stop action and good acting. The third in the series is an epic of a movie running over two and a half hours long. If you have not watched the previous two in the series don't bother watching this movie until you have seen those. The movie starts off with a rather grim intro. Just when you think a hero will get involved they don't. It seems as though the world is doing everything to get rid of pirates. As the journey begins we are then reintroduced to all the wonderful actors that have been involved in this series. For the pirates to continue on they need their ultimate hero, Captain Jack Sparrow. Although this movie is filled with an all star cast that can't just rely on the heroic antics of Sparrow. I would have to say this movie is filled with action and a lot of violence although not a lot of gore. The movie probably would not be good for small children. So saying this movie is for families is probably a misnomer. What sets this version apart from the DVD version is the beautiful picture quality and wonderful sound. I was totally impressed with the breath taking picture in this film. Watching it on a big screen t.v. makes it very worthwhile. The movie also comes with uncompressed sound which helps create a lifelike environment that you can only find in the theatres. In the end I would have to say this movie is not for everyone. The action is non-stop and the violence is continuous. If you haven't watched the other two movies you probably shouldn't view this first since there are a lot of details in the story you wouldn't know otherwise. This is a great film that should be viewed by everyone who has enjoyed the series.

You've got to hand it to Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. They are a winning team of writers with a pretty good resume of flicks that they've combined on. They did the first two Pirates movies and are together again for 2007's Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. And all of the key characters from Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and Dead Man's Chest (2006) are back in At World's End played by the same actors...with the same director (Gore Verbinski). Those are usually the most important ingredients to a successful sequel. The special effects are great. The movies are visually spectacular from ghosts to sea monsters to at-sea adventure...I'd say the amazing effects actually contribute a full star to all of the Pirates movies in this series. There's lots of silliness in the Pirates movies, but it's deliberate. There's slapstick. There are death-defying feats. There's Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow) doing his best imitation of Keith Richards (true factoid, he has publicly commented that Richards is his Jack Sparrow character inspiration...anyone notice who played Captain Teague?). And all the silliness mostly works. After all, this is indeed supposed to be a movie for kids too, no? It's must be tough to make a PG movie these days; it's hard to believe that this Disney theme park ride turned billion dollar movie franchise is getting PG-13 treatment. Kids 13 and under can see more violence and hear more profanity at school recess and at the local playground than they do in Pirates. How is it that a movie like National Treasure (2004) gets PG and Pirates doesn't? Ludicrous. But I won't get started on how neurotically insane the pressure is from certain groups on the MPAA to "protect" our youngsters. I will indeed finish by saying that the Pirates series will gross over $1,000,000,000 (that's a BILLION dollars) because they're good movies that kids can watch too. They're certainly not the best two movies in the world; in fact, At World's End and Dead Man's Chest are probably more between a 3 and 4 star rating than the solid 4 star that Curse of the Black Pearl would earn alone. But numbers don't lie. People are drawn to this franchise. I am drawn to this franchise. As Davy Jones says, "One soul is not equal to another." So describes my view of the MPAA rating system to the next guy's, and so analogizes my opinion of Curse of the Black Pearl versus Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. Bottom line: all three movies offer like 7 hours of time that can be spent nuzzling up with your kids. Hence, my recommendation: add the Pirates series to your cart.

The movie itself is fantastic, but it's truly annoying that Prime doesn't show the stinger after the credits.

Such a great movie and somethings happened that even I couldn't perdict!

Superb film all of them are shame they haven't made any more

Great Adventure Movie quality picture and sound on blu-ray

En Blu Ray parece que todas la pelis se ven mejor. Sólo me faltaba esta tercer parte, me costo mucho conseguirla y también fue por la que pague más. Me gusto, sobre todo la imagen y que el doblaje es en español latino. Lo único que no me gusto mucho es que el Dvd es región 1

Good DVD. I used it for private home watching.

I've always liked Johnny Depps acting. And in Pirates of the Caribbean, he does a great job.
