Although AWE may seem to have a convoluted, intermittently inexplicable narrative, it's worth seeing for the jaw-dropping action, the doses of humor and special effects, swashbuckling adventure and of course the star power of Johnny Depp, Knightley, Rush, Orlando Bloom, Bill Nighy, Chow Yun-Fat and a host of other talented actors who utter their lines with great enthusiasm & gusto, even if they're dripping wet and pretending to do battle with computer-generated creatures.
Keira Knightley comes out with probably the strongest performance as her character, Elizabeth Swann reprises in its true element. Rest of the cast manages to hold their presence though tending to loose themselves in the clutter of too many characters (It is evident that the director-Gore Verbinski is not sure what to do with most of them). Chow Yun-Fat as the sneering Singapore pirate lord Sao Feng, Jack Davenport as Admiral Norrington are prominent ones. The plot weaved between Davy Jones (Bill Nighy, under a wriggling mass of Computer Generated tentacles) and Calypso (Naomie Harris) shreds off, Bloom as Will Turner is mostly in the background. Depp as Jack Sparrow is great as always and the scene involving multi-Jack Sparrow's are one of the best moments in the film. Depp and Geoffrey Rush as the rip-roaring Captain Barbossa are treat to watch.
The story may seem to frustrate, but the acting and the visual effects and the overall scene never tends to disappoint.
Great to watch movie, we enjoyed it. Word of advice, just enjoy the impressive blend of live action work and CGI wizardry, don't spend too much of effort in understanding the story.
