10 Terrible CGI Movie Moments You Can’t Unsee
3. Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - Shark Attack
How the mighty have fallen.
There was a time when the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was home to some of the most convincing visual effects in modern cinema, with the motion capture work used to bring Bill Nighy's Davy Jones and the cursed skeleton form of many of the series' pirates to life being pretty much unmatched for a time.
However, here we are off the back of the most recent outing for Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow in 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales and it looks as though the CGI wheels have completely fallen off this once visually stunning world.
Depp's de-ageing in the flick wasn't actually half bad, but that's about as good as it got for the fifth Pirates film's visuals. The worst culprit came during a scene where Jack and Brenton Thwaites' (him again!) Henry Turner were being chased by ghost sharks.
The idea sounded scary enough, so it's just a shame that the execution failed to deliver on that promise.
Looking (ironically) like the sort of unpleasing visual effect you'd find in an immersive theme park ride, the moment where one of the sharks jumps out of the water and attempts to munch the two main characters felt about as believable as the thought of a decent fifth Pirates film did on paper.
