Cutler Beckett, now in control of
Davy Jones, is taking over the seas, executing all pirates that he comes
across. Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must travel off the
edge of the world to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones’s locker so that they
can convene the Pirates Lords to wage a decisive battle against Beckett and
Jones.
Director Gore Verbinski
filmed At World’s End back-to-back with Dead Man’s Chest;
thus, he used the same creative department heads for both films, including:
composer Hans
Zimmer, cinematographer Dariusz Wolski
and production designer Rick Heinrichs.
The cast of Dead Man’s Chest all
return as well, including: stars Johnny Depp, Keira
Knightley and Orlando
Bloom as well as supporting cast members Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander, Stellan Skarsgard,
Naomie Harris,
Jack Davenport,
Jonathan Pryce,
Lee Arenberg, Mackenzie Crook,
and Kevin McNally.
Geoffrey Rush
returns from the dead as Captain Barbossa and Chow Yun-Fat
joins the cast.
At World’s End is a big mess. It
is as if the writers sat down and decided to not throw out any ideas, no matter
how bad they were; and not only that, they also took all these bad ideas and
forced them into the film, resulting in a movie that is over-long and bloated
with bad jokes, ideas and storylines. Somewhere, amongst all the mess, however,
is still a pretty good and entertaining film. At World’s End has its great
moments and still has its great characters and cast. Verbinski and his writing
team walked a fine line with Dead Man’s Chest, getting dangerously close to
going over the line with the action and jokes being too silly and ridiculous
(and for some, they did cross the line). With At World’s End, the line is
seemingly non-existent, as everything is a bit ridiculous and silly. Yet, the
film still has its charm and is ultimately still a fun conclusion to the
Pirates of the Caribbean’s initial trilogy.
