Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales is now available on Digital in HD and 4K Ultra HD™ as of Sept. 19 and on 4K Ultra HD™/Blu-ray™ Combo Pack Oct. 3! I got to review a copy early and here are a few of my thoughts on the movie!
I did not see this title in the theater! I was excited to see what all of the hype was about! In this Pirate movie you learn of the back story of Jack Sparrow. There is a lot going on throughout this movie and I think it could stand alone. You definitely can piece a lot of things together from the first movie. This movie has some twists and turns as Jack tries to stop the curses on the sea. I won’t give it away but there are some “edge of your seat” moments in this thriller!
Bonus material includes a collection of behind-the-scenes, making-of stories, including a conversation with directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg; a sit-down with the two young newcomers who play Henry and Carina; the secrets behind the menacing new villain, Salazar, and his ferocious ghost sharks; an on-set visit with Jack’s first mate from all five films; a chat with Sir Paul McCartney who appears as Uncle Jack; and a discussion about the franchise’s legacy; along with hilarious bloopers, deleted scenes and memories from producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s photo diary.
