Released in 2007. Pirates of The Caribbean: At World’s End is an epic fantasy built around the early piracy of the 14th and 16th centuries. The story was created during an ongoing war led by an East Indian company, whose sole desire is to eliminate the pirates.
As the East India Company gains untold power and persecutes pirates en masse, Will, Elizabeth, and Captain Barbossa decide to bring Jack Sparrow back from the dead for one final battle. The Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea, Jack Sparrow, is trapped in Davy Jones’ Locker by the Kraken. He remains a prisoner until his former crew mounts a rescue party.
The Filming and Production of Pirates of The Caribbean: At Wold’s End
Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio wrote two sequels to the Pirates of The Caribbean Franchise in 2004. Directed by Gore Verbinski. As expected, the film had two shootings, one in 2005 and the other the following year. The latter was chosen for release in 2006 as Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, it would become the last to be directed by Verbinski.
As for this title, the shooting of the movie was conducted in the backlot of Universal Studios, Singapore, and in Utah, along the California coast.
At World’s End was released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2007, and cost an estimated US$300 million, making it the most expensive film ever made, until that date. The movie starred Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
Box Office, Fans, and Critics
The fans loved the movie, with Google fans showing a solid 74%, although Rotten Tomatoes only showed 44% favorable ratings. However, the critics had mixed reactions with most of them being positive. Audiences profiled by CinemaScore seemed to share the Google fans’ evaluation, giving the film an overall ‘A-‘.
“While other adventure movies of this fashion tend to settle slowly into well-trodden tracks and increasingly predictable plots, Pirates of the Caribbean is a contrarian and proud of it. At World’s End brings with it a plethora of new delights and surprises wrapped in the warm, familiar comic relief and idiosyncrasies of the preceding movies, reminding its ever-growing audience that ol’ witty Jack and his crew always deliver on their promises, pirate code, or not. Although eyebrows were raised at the unusual runtime of the movie, the viewer shall find that every second of the journey (for it is truly a wonderful journey) is worth it.”
According to The Numbers, the movie did well at the box office, going on to become the highest-grossing movie in 2007, with a worldwide intake of US$960 million.
It was nominated at the 80th Academy Awards for Best Makeup and Best Visual Effects and won Favorite Movie Actor for Johnny Depp at the 2008 Kids’ Choice Awards.
With continued success at the box office, the Pirates of the Caribbean created another sequel, On Stranger Tides, and was released in 2011.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End has proven to be both an excellent story with great action sequences and scenes that move away from the old pirate trends. Given its touch of bringing Captain Jack Sparrow back from the dead, or more so from the Locker, is unique and lends deserved merits for a job well done.
