Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End(2007)Action | Adventure | Fantasy Heroes Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are allied with Captain Barbossa in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow from his mind-blowing trap in Davy Jones Locker; meanwhile, the terrorizing ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones — under the control of the East India Trading Company — wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, they must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Chinese pirate Sao Feng. Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final, titanic battle as their lives and fortunes — and the entire future of the freedom-loving pirate way — hang in the balance. For more details about Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End on Blu-ray, see the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Blu-ray Review Starring: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Jack Davenport Director: Gore Verbinski Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Blu-ray, Video Quality Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is presented on this high definition Blu-ray Disc release in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1 in a 1080p AVC/MPEG-4 video encoding. The transfer is remarkable in that it displays a fine amount of grain and detail throughout the entire presentation. Grain-haters may not like this at all, but this is film, ladies and gentlemen, and this high definition release from Disney looks even better than what you are likely to see being projected in most theaters today. Flesh tones, black levels and contrast are all accurate with a marvelous amount of shadow detail. This is a film that does tend to favor dark, shadowy scenes. Also of note, are the many shots of ocean and water in general. Videophiles will be very familiar with the fact that water can and usually will expose weaknesses in even the best encodings. If an artifact (usually macroblocking) is going to show up, it’s going to be in shots featuring flowing water. There are none to be found anywhere in this excellent encoding and the vast majority of the film takes place on water, in water andaround water. Foreground detail is exceptional. The one tiny quibble I have with the detail of this transfer is the tendency for background detail to occasionally soften ever so slightly. This is a very minor exception to an otherwise perfect transfer and doesn’t even warrant being marked down. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Blu-ray, Audio QualityDisney has provided English 5.1 uncompressed PCM (48kHz/24-bit) and English, French, and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtracks for this release. Listening to the uncompressed PCM soundtrack was sheer joy. I have to applaud Disney’s sound engineers once again for a job well done. All six channels were well used and the mix had an all encompassing, cohesive sound and feel to it that worked well with the film's technically challenging visual materal. The ambient effects were so realistic that there were several times upon hearing the creaking sounds of the wooden ships or distant footsteps in my rear speakers that I actually looked around to see if someone was walking into the room or knocking on my door. Overall, the sound of the mix is one of great balance and warmth with easy high frequencies and just enough bottom end. Even in the most effects- laden passages, everything seemed well placed in the soundstage.
