At World’s End is on set with Keith Richards (despite the fact that he was in the film for all of six minutes or so), how they created the “many Jacks” for Johnny Depp’s hallucinatory scene, and how they created the maelstrom scene. The maelstrom scene is the biggest that the crew has ever filmed, and the behind-the-scenes is interactive. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer narrates time-lapse footage of the set being built in a Palmdale, California sound stage. Pop-ups throughout the piece can be clicked on for a more in-depth featurette on, for example, the rain system or the stunt men or how the graphics were composited together. Frankly, many of these special features are so detailed and convoluted it makes navigation difficult.
My husband swears that the first two films are remastered so that all three in the box set are now at 1080ip (whereas individually, only the third film is 1080p; the other two are 1080i). He is a television editor, so he knows his stuff when it comes to technical specs. Personally, I don’t see the difference. And unless you are a tech-nut like my husband, you won’t either. If you haven’t purchased the trilogy, than grab this box set. If you already have them, don’t waste the money.
