In this recurring feature we look at movies not for how good they are or how worthwhile they are of your money, but simply at how well the 3D works. Find out if the 3D makes a difference for Jack and company by reading below, as we help you make sure to buy the right Pirates ticket. It depends on why you go to see a Pirates movie. If you want to see the sunny Caribbean locations jump out at a you, swords swing across the head of the audience and Johnny Depp's kohl-lined eyes staring directly into your soul, sure, that part works.
But if you also remember that much of the Pirates movies, and especially On Stranger Tides take place at night, and that fast-cut swashbuckling action is kind of hard to follow when you're wearing 3D glasses. Think of it this way: when you were watching the previous three Pirates films, did you ever actually wish for a third dimension? Yeah, I didn't think so. Give Disney this much credit: when they decided both to continue a franchise that had wrapped up and make it the first in the series to be 3D, they planned for the 3D from the very beginning, equipping director Rob Marshall with 3D cameras and generally avoiding the post-conversion disaster of Alice in Wonderland.
As a result they do get some great moments planned specifically for 3D, many of them involving swords or that monkey Jack Sparrow hates so much. Still, for all the planning they did they still fell into a lot of the same 3D traps, so in this case thinking ahead doesn't necessarily mean thinking smart. The effect works really well in animated films, which is part of why 3D works better in that format, and has almost no impact in live-action films, which On Stranger Tides most definitely is.

Pirate's Life. Did you know Edit. Trivia While filming in London in October , Johnny Depp received a letter from a local nine-year old schoolgirl, telling him her classmates needed help to "mutiny" against her teachers. He turned up with almost no warning at the school in full Captain Jack Sparrow outfit, but advised against mutiny.
And yet, the film isn't marred by this fact, as I was still able to see the film clearly at all times. What's more, my eyes weren't strained one bit by the darkness, so the problem clearly isn't with the film. This is a good time to remind you that your mileage may vary in this department, as theaters don't always properly calibrate their rigs after switching from a 2D presentation to one of a 3D nature.
Color me impressed. You'll swear you've been drinking some of the finest rum in the realm if you take your glasses off, as even the closest of images is minutely blurred for your pleasure. Facial detail shows up rather well because of this, but when it comes to the heavy stuff, there's blur to go around throughout the picture. This goes a long way towards the depth the picture is trying to convey, as the blurrier an image is, it usually means that there's more depth being conveyed.
Mark my words: Legend 3D deserves tons of credit for providing the audience with a stable, clean 3D picture that doesn't take the usual adjustment period to enjoy. The images are larger than life, but they don't confuse the eye or strain the vision of the audience.
While Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is getting beaten up by the press, the 3D version of the film is certainly the way to go if you're even the slightest bit curious.
Then again, I'd expect nothing less from the folks that brought Ghostbusters , Jupiter Ascending , and Hugo to brilliant 3D life. Tweet Share Email. Was this page helpful? Thanks for letting us know!
