Gore Verbinski (director). Movie, US, 168 mins.

I’m not one of those people who like to pile in on a film. For me, films aren’t just bad or good, you either enjoy them or you don’t. And you don’t even have to take a film as a whole, in this age of DVD. A lot of people can’t stand The Matrix Reloaded, but if you start with the burly brawl it’s arguably one of the greatest movies of all time.

So I’m not here to slate At World’s End, dull though it was. I’m here to comment on the fact that throughout the entire film the audio description for the deaf was playing over the main speakers, and the post-credits sequence was not shown (until complaints were made). Cinemas really must do better if they want to continue tempting us out of our homes. – SWT
