Similarly, the movement of the precariously balanced boat in Chapter 19 makes great play of the full 7.1-channel soundfield as each tilt of the vessel is accompanied by its cargo falling from right to left and then back again. A particular favourite is the mermaid attack in Chapter 14, which makes excellent use of the surrounds to position you on the boat with the pirates being attacked from all angles. Naturally, it’s the action set pieces that really excel, and thankfully there’s no shortage of those.

Speaking of which, when the action shits to the jungle in Chapters 16 to 18, the encode steps up yet another gear, delivering the most spectacularly verdant greens as part of its impressively rendered colour palette.Īudio: On Stranger Tides’ DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 is an absolute joy from start to finish. The clarity and detailing evident in the hi-def visuals ensures that even the dingiest candle-lit sequences manage to impress in a purely technical sense and make these parts of the film just as easy to follow as the brightly lit island exteriors.

Picture: This latest Pirates… outing can be a surprisingly dark and drab looking film at times, so it’s a damn good job that the disc’s AVC 2.40:1 1080p is up to the task at hand. Instead it simply settles for introducing another needlessly convoluted plot and a boatload of new characters for him to bounce off – some fun (Penelope Cruz’s Angelica and Ian McShane’s Blackbeard) but most utterly forgettable. This mind-numbing two-hour-fifteen-minute series of chases, double-crosses and action set-pieces casts Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow as the main protagonist, but disappointingly finds little new for the character to do.

While it’s a long way from the abject disaster that was At World’s End, this fourth Pirates of the Caribbean flick proves that the franchise still has a long way to go before it can re-capture the spirit of the original film. Can the sea-faring franchise bounce back from the brink? Don't bet on it.
