Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

The Story: Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) returns, and this time he's trapped in Davy Jones' locker. In an increasingly shaky alliance, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) begin a desperate quest to find and rescue him. Captain Jack is the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court who must come together in one last stand to preserve the freedom-loving pirates' way of life. The action veers from Singapore to Shipwreck Island to World's End and beyond, all the time building towards the titanic battle that brings our heroes face to face with the cunning Captain Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). This episode isn't quite as much fun as the ones that have gone before, but for fans of Jack Sparrow and friends there's still plenty of swashbuckling entertainment.

The Disc: There are outtakes galore provided on disc one, while disc two has loads of special features among them the visit to the set by Keith Richards, the inspiration for Jack Sparrow's character. Also included are the short film "The Brethren Court", an interview with score composer Hans Zimmer, production decisions, insights into the map to World's End and the costume designs, deleted scenes with director's commentary, and Easter eggs. Subtitles are available in English, Chinese, Korean, Malay, Hindi, Bahasa and Thai.

For a two-disc package stuffed with special features, the cover price is a very reasonable Bt499. Expect to pay between Bt320 and Bt440 in shops.
