Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

POFTC: At World's End, I went to go see this on its first weekend at the cinema and it was one of those rare occasions when the cinema is really FULL.

I try my best to get out and see the big "blockbusters" films at the cinema (because, thats the only way you can see them), and its nice to see it packed. This doesn't happen very often these days. Over the last few years the only films that spring to mind that have pulled the big crowds were Spiderman 3 and Charlie and the chocolate factory.

Anyway, big POFTC fan and I bought the third one the days it came out on DVD (£9 from morrisons, double disc edition). Its been shrink wrapped in my collection for about half a year now. I've been waiting to watch the trilogy back to back, i'm really sad like that. You get a feel for the story much better. BUT, last night i couldn't sleep and wanted to watch something visually spectacular, so i put it on.

AND, WOW, It is really special. The three films as a whole are great, and this is a BOLD statement, but i don't think i've ever seen anything as visually pleasing as these films. Granted, the CGI in the first one looks a little dated now and i could pick faults out that i don't think look as good as others, but why point out the bad when there is SO MUCH good.

I'm not going to go on about all the best parts, because nobody will want to read that much (if anyone besides Mike and Anna Beth does (for none college readers, if any, they are my tutors). BUT, i beg you to stick in the DVD, turn up the volume and embrace one of the modern day classics.

The sound and visuals are perfect, they capture every moment brilliantly.
