This weekend, the highly anticipated, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, is heading to the theaters! I got a sneak peek of this 5th installment of the Pirate series at a recent advance screening. Want to know more? Here’s a quick review with no spoilers!

There are quite a few new characters in the film but don’t worry, all of your favorites from the past are still there such as Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly. I loved how they introduced these new characters and how the tied them into the story lines of the past.

I was happy to see that this film has a new female character that is a strong, smart and independent women. Oh, and did I mention that she’s also an astronomer? This character along with the others adds a great dynamic to the storyline. They along with our favorite characters of the past Pirate movies, bring along the action that we all love!

Dead Men Tell No Tales, which takes place 20 years after the previous movie, gets off to a strong start and introduces the new male lead (Brenton Thwaites), as the son of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). We quickly we learn that it’s his quest to save his dad by using the Trident of Poseidon. We also see that others are after this medalion, in hopes that it will help their purposes also.

This movie throws in some amazing special effects! Seriously, I was blown away by a few of them and a few parts even made me jump clear out of my seat! There was one particular part where in digital remastering, we get to see a “young Jack Sparrow” in his prime. It was fun to see everyones favorite character as a smart and ruthless pirate instead of a bumbling drunk (although that’s pretty funny too). The digital work on this particular part was simply amazing!

The film, which is a little under two hours long, ends on a beautifully touching scene. In fact, an unexpected turn of events means you may want to bring along a tissue or two. With such an elegant ending, if this is the end of the Pirate franchise, I’d say it’s a fitting finale.
