Quality

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is a beautiful film. It features different locations from around the world. There are some absolutely stunning locations. Throughout this film the beauty of the sea is showcased. However, sometimes this is done in a way that is digital. The downside is that it shows too much digital and not enough nature. The result is a fantastic looking film with a few blemishes. Other than these digital gaffs, this is an awesome looking film. The sound quality is definitely a winner. The sound design coupled with the iconic Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack makes for an incredible listening experience.

Extras

The extras included with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales were very enjoyable to watch. In some ways, they were more enjoyable than the movie itself. There is a solid set of extras and each of them should be watched. Here is what is included with the bonus features:

While I enjoyed all of these extras, my favorite was probably the one with Paul McCartney talking about Uncle Jack. I really enjoyed this part of the movie and the extra was even more awesome. It was amazing to hear the backstory behind this scene and see how it came to be. Javier Bardem’s extras were also pretty incredible. After watching these extras it made me want to watch the movie over again!

Final Thoughts

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is far from being a perfect movie. In fact, some of it is just downright disappointing after the stellar moments that have come before it in the franchise. Despite that, it is a fun film. Despite its imperfections, this is a film that still is enjoyable to watch. Add a fun collection of extras and this makes for a wonderful evening of movie-watching. This is definitely worth getting for your Disney library. It is a fun flick, even if it is flawed.
