Great reviews for Pirates, with the reviewer stating that this sets a new standard for video in any hd format definitely says something.

There are three or so sequences here that are just a thrill to listen to -- namely the extended cannibal capture of Jack Sparrow, the two Kraken attacks on the Jolly Roger, and in particularly the now-famous climactic sword fight on the out-of-control windmill. The transparency of the channel imaging and pinpoint-accurate placement of discrete effects can only be described as the pinnacle of epic Hollywood sound design. The sheer force and effectiveness of the 360-degree soundfield replicated here is simply stunning.

I bought this pack and by golly it was a jaw-dropping and mesmerizing experience. Colors are so full of life and the sound was just fantastic. Rare footages of rare animals surviving and living in sometimes harsh environments. Superb!!!!
