After a break of 4 years, Capt Jack Sparrow returns in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. This time Jack (played with swagger by Johnny Depp) and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) are on a quest to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. But on his trail are the infamous pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and his Beautiful daughter Angelica (Penelope Cruz). Add to this, Zombies, Mermaids and even a priest who has lost his faith and you have an epic swashbuckling adventure. Also returning is Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa and Kevin McNally as Jacks first mate Mr Gibbs.

On Stranger tides was filmed in 3D and its evident , unlike some recent 3D Blu Ray releases, the night time scenes are very good with great depth, glistening Mermaids rise out of the water and drag seamen to their doom. However it's the daylight scenes that really show the quality of this Blu Ray. The 3D is eye popping with foliage, snakes and even undead zombies poking out of the screen and the golden beaches seeming to stretch on forever.
As with all Disney Blu Rays the picture quality is impressive, the colours are vibrant with the black's dark and deep.

With the Hans Zimmer music score thundering from the speakers and the clash of pirate swords reverberating round the room, the DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround track is dazzling.

In conclusion On Stranger Tides is a welcome edition to the pirate's saga; I am looking forward to the next one.
