Catch Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge On Imax Screens

Avast ye shipmates! The biggest stars be not found among the night sky!

It’s been six long years, but the wait is finally over… Captain Jack Sparrow is back! When you watch the fifth instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise sail exclusively onto the IMAX screen, you will agree that it’s been worth the wait!

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge swashbuckles its way into Ster-Kinekor cinemas and onto its immersive IMAX 3D screens from Friday, 26 May, where you will be treated to even more of the action. Presented in an expanded aspect ratio, the movie will fill more of the IMAX screen and fans will see 26% more of the image.

Curse of the Black Pearl gave us undead pirates. Dead Man’s Chest introduced the squiddy Davey Jones. At World’s End saw the return of an ancient goddess. On Stranger Tides gave us that awkward mermaid romance we’d all like to forget. And now, Salazar’s Revenge introduces Ghost Sharks – and moviegoers watching the film in IMAX will be in for a special visual treat, with that extra 26% being an important part of witnessing a slo-mo flying skeletal shark mid-flight… you have been warned!

Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Captain Jack Sparrow in the all-new Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge. The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when an army of deadly ghost sailors, led by the villainous Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escapes from the Devil’s Triangle bent on killing every living pirate at sea – most notably Jack.

Jack’s only hope of survival lies in finding the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artefact that gives its possessor complete control over the seas. But, to find it, he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the ‘Dying Gull’, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge also stars Kevin R. McNally as Joshamee Gibbs, Golshifteh Farahani as the sea-witch Shansa, David Wenham as Scarfield, Stephen Graham as Scrum and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa. After a ten-year absence, Orlando Bloom returns to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise in his role as Will Turner.

Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg direct the film, with Jerry Bruckheimer producing. The executive producers are Mike Stenson, Chad Oman, Joe Caracciolo, Jr., Terry Rossio and Brigham Taylor. The story is by Jeff Nathanson and Terry Rossio, and Jeff Nathanson wrote the screenplay.

Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge has been specially formatted in its entirety exclusively for IMAX® theatres. The expanded 1.9:1 aspect ratio presented in IMAX will fill more of the screen to show up to 26% more of the image than in standard theatres, to thrill audiences with a truly action-packed, immersive cinema experience.

The film has been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX 3D Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX’s customised theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are riding the waves of the seven seas with Captain Jack and his merry band of pirates.
