Reminiscent of "Empire Strikes Back".

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2006)

Without giving away too much, this film consists of exactly what made The Empire Strikes Back the best of the Star Wars films: the main cast finds themselves split up by a difficult series of events and all embark on their own individual quests before finally reuniting. This allows character development for ALL of the characters before they finally reunite for the stunning conclusion in the last act.
It's a true film triumph. Don't believe the critics that are panning it. It's darkly humorous and filled with very entertaining characters. We are introduced to the darker elements of piracy: betrayal, jealousy, mutiny, and avarice. At the same time, we see heroism, loyalty, courage, and we see that every human comes to a point where they have to make a choice.
The final scene's grand surprise had everyone in my theater cheering and applauding -- chances are you will too! See it, and stay past the credits for one final scene!
