WORK - Death is a day worth living
The golden age of piracy is coming to an end. Even the terrifying Dutch Volant and his cursed captain serve Lord Cutler Beckett. He now foams the seven seas, killing the pirates of all sides without mercy. One chance to resist his Armada: to bring together the Tribunal of the Brotherhood. But Captain Jack Sparrow is being held in Davy Jones's...
Closing the (many) stakes initiated by his elders, this exciting adventure with a certain epic breath knows well the recipe for the great show despite a scenario that is always as tarabiscoté (where alliances and betrayals come and go on deck). The casting is once again royal, the fragrant battles (cf. the gigantic final maelstrom), the precious self-deteriority, the irreproachable artistic direction, the huge SFX and the darker universe than before. One could fear the nausea of the overflow (the boat is really loaded), but finally nothing like this: this epic pirates treat!
IMAGE - The same world; less attractive!
4K restoration point worthy of this name but a scale made with the va-vite (the input in definition is in no way obvious) where the HDR obscures the places too much, the WCG reduces the vivacity of the shades and the DNR continues to give the estocade (some less violent than on the first two shutters).
So yes, the more ambient morosity of light sources (even if the flames and clouds reveal finer details) and colors (the primary ones are more discreet) lend themselves rather well to this more mature chapter, as well as the silver texture (a Super 35 capture) finally emerges from the waves (while being diminished); But no, it's not more beautiful than the 2007 HD transfer, the natural focus of which is.
SON - Gunshots and treasons
While the magnitude is still in decline (combativity is somewhat missing at call) compared to the former LPCM 5.1 runway, the VO « Dolby Atmouse » (think about riding the pottery) does not fail to deliver a space activity of a crazy richness (information abounds at the back and is timely in the heights) coupled with easy-to-understand dialogues and a memorable musical symphony (well mixed with the set).
With a slightly more pronounced dynamic momentum and only slightly more impacting (but with less shades), the VF Dolby Digital Plus 7.1, which picks up two surround speakers (from DTS 5.1 on the previous Blu-ray), is less afraid to get wet despite a tighter spatialization.
CONCLUSION - The end of the journey?
We don't change a winning team, and this third round of the Black Pearl saga respects the ingredients that made the franchise's success. But while Jack Sparrow holds alcohol, the present 4K Ultra HD (to the A/V 2nd class) takes water!
