From the opening scene of this movie, the costumes, make-up and music enhance every scene. In fact, the opening scene gave me chills (you'll see what I mean). Other than that, number three in this trilogy of Pirate tales is basically more of the same. So if you enjoyed the first two movies, just sit back, get comfy and prepare to be entertained yet again.

From intricately choreographed sword fights, to pirate ship racing over stormy seas and even waterfalls, the film is full of non-stop action and visual effects that will amaze the entire audience.

Of course, Johnny Depp is back as the seemingly dim-witted yet handsomely charming rum guzzling pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow. And once again he steals the spotlight in every single scene with his drunken swagger, cunning betrayals and clever play on words and twisting of well known phrases.

In fact, most of the crew from the first two movies has returned in this final stand against the evil British lord Cutler Beckett in order to lend some closure to all of the dub-plots that began in the first two "Pirates" films. This may be the one drawback of flaw to this movie, or at least the only one that I encountered. "At World's End" had far too many characters. All of which, I might add, were pirates whose main course of action was to enter into secret pacts with each other in order to betray the others and satisfy their individual desires.

Confused yet? I was.

Now throw in the fact that there are too many ships to keep track of... "The Black Pearl", "The Flying Dutchman", "The Endeavour", not to mention a fleet of British ships which all of the characters feel compelled to jump, swim or climb on to and off of repeatedly throughout the movie.

On my first viewing, I spent most of my time trying to decipher who was back-stabbing whom, which pirates were in cahoots with one another, and which ship each character was on from one scene to the next.

However, despite the complexity of characters and plot twists, I have to admit that "At World's End" was so enjoyable that even these minor confusions did not ruin the rest of the cinematic experience, making this movie an excellent addition to any home theatre collection.

And I highly recommend that you do yourself the favour that I did and watch it a second time. Once I figured out all of the key players and their location during each scene, it made the second viewing much more entertaining.
