"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is an action adventure fantasy film directed by Gore Verbinski. That's the third installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series which follows Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Hector Barbossa, and the crew of the Black Pearl rescuing Captain Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker, and then preparing to fight the East India Trading Company, led by Cutler Beckett and Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), who plan to extinguish piracy forever.

I must mention I don't think this part is worse than two first ones. There's enough action, adventures, fights, twists, special effects, the atmosphere stay the same - so why I have to complain?
As it's the final chapter of the original trilogy directed by Gore Verbinski, I want to say more words about my impression. Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow is absolutely incredible - totally one of the well-known characters in cinematography. Orlando Bloom's Will Turner isn't as simple as he may seem in the first part: a good guy who hates pirates at first, but then becomes one of them, even a captain. Elizabeth Swann performed by Keira Knightley gets better with every part and her uncertain love stories with different characters do its bit. And surprisingly James Norrington (Jack Davenport) isn't an annoying Admiral - he's just a man who cares about Elizabeth. And how I can say nothing about Bill Nighy's Davy Jones - yes, visual effects are great but his acting is even more amazing.

I suppose it's important to get to know who is Calypso. Calypso is remembered most for her role in Homer's Odyssey, in which she keeps the fabled Greek hero Odysseus on her island to make him her immortal husband. According to Homer, Calypso kept Odysseus prisoner at Ogygia for seven years, while Pseudo-Apollodorus says five years and Hyginus says one. Calypso enchants Odysseus with her singing as she moves to and fro, weaving on her loom with a golden shuttle. During this time they sleep together, although Odysseus soon comes to wish for circumstances to change.
Odysseus can no longer bear being separated from his wife Penelope and wants to go to Calypso to tell her. His patron goddess Athena asks Zeus to order the release of Odysseus from the island, and Zeus orders the messenger Hermes, to tell Calypso to set Odysseus free, for it was not his destiny to live with her forever. She angrily comments on how the gods hate goddesses having affairs with mortals, but eventually concedes, sending Odysseus on his way after providing him with wine, bread, and the materials for a raft.
