Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is available on Blu-ray and DVD today. I saw the film in the theater, and I absolutely loved it. It was crazy and funny, and at times incredibly sad, but overall it was a fantastic addition to the series.
Caution: There Be Spoilers Ahead. Ye Be Warned.

Dead Men Tell No Tales starts where
At World's End left off, with the love story between Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Their young son, Henry, is determined to break his father's curse, with help, of course, from Captain Jack Sparrow, whether anyone likes it or not.
While seeking Jack, a grown-up Henry meets Capitan Salazar, who wants revenge on Jack, and Carina Smyth, an astronomer accused of witchcraft, who is about to be executed alongside Jack. On the way to the execution scene, keep an eye out for Uncle Jack, a cameo by Paul McCartney, who is hilarious.

Eventually, everyone's journeys collide as they all seek Poseidon's Trident. It's a race to see who will find it first: Henry and Carina with Jack and his ragtag crew, Barbossa and his crew of miscreants, Capitan Salazar and his ghosts, or the British Royal Navy.
I won't reveal any more, but if you liked the first three films, you should definitely see Dead Men Tell No Tales. It is supposed to be the final film in the series and it provides a good stopping point for all the different characters' stories. And while I did cry through much of the end, I can't wait to see it again. Oh, and make sure to watch for the post credit scene. It made me wonder if there are more tales to tell afterall.
