Today you can watch a particularly crazy piece of film on TV that is still one of the ten most expensive films of all time. Piates of the Caribbean – At the End of the World cost over 300 million US dollars at the time and not only impressed with good entertainment, but also with a spectacular production.
That’s what Pirates of the Caribbean – At World’s End is all about
Things get complicated in the third part of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga. Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) must first be rescued from the underworldwhich Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) attempt together with Captain Barbossa.
They then have to deal with the East India Trading Company, its fleet and the ghost ship Flying Dutchman. The sea goddess Calypso is also still in a human body and ultimately the pirate princes get togetherin order to be able to stand together against the trading company.
In the course of this, various things arise Trials and tribulations, betrayal, a wedding and almost as an afterthought, a new pirate queen is crowned. The latently crude story does not detract from the viewing and entertainment value of the whole thing. On the contrary: it fits perfectly with the slightly chaotic spectacle.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 wasn’t just very expensive: the investments were worth it
For the sake of simplicity, Pirates of the Caribbean – At World’s End was actually shot at the same time as the second part of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. But because the weather repeatedly presented a challenge and reshoots were necessary, the production costs of this third part are estimated to increase 300 to 350 million dollars amount.

Things really get down to business in Pirates of the Caribbean 3: including this whirlpool.
You can see that in the film: The Wilde Sause doesn’t skimp on cool effects with the various fish and other mythical creatures. Above all, the huge whirlpool in the sea towards the end and the crazy sea battles repeatedly make your jaw drop.
Overall, part 3 was also a massive success grossed $961 million. Things have now become significantly quieter around the Pirates of the Caribbean series. This is not least due to the now very controversial Johnny Depp, who has attracted attention in recent years due to extremely negative headlines and an extremely unpleasant court hearing.
