Short Film Review: THE LAST PIRATE. Directed by Christian Pavlik

festreviews Uncategorized , , , , , ,

Synopsis:

Prisoner to the mystical powers of the ancient Infernalius, Arius embarks on a journey to hunt the one marked by the ancient sword, in exchange for his freedom.

https://www.facebook.com/TheLastPirateOfficial?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://instagram.com/thelastpirateofficial/

Review by Andie Karvelis:

Swashbuckling swordsmen, those bad boys of the sea have always captured our imaginations. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow gave us a new pirate to fall in love with. The success of Pirates of the Caribbean renewed everyone’s love of a good pirate film! The Last Pirate doesn’t disappoint!


Written, Directed and Produced by Christian Pavlik, we are transported into a captivating story with sword fights, magic, an epic struggle with the forces of good and evil, and some clever twists! There are many things that stand out about The Last Pirate ( and these are in no particular order ). Antonio Medina plays Arius, our last pirate, and he did a wonderful job. You can feel his struggle and everything he did with the character was genuine. Micah Pilcher, who portrays Infernalius delivered a performance that will send shivers down your spine. Micah nailed that sinister, otherworldly tone and it was perfection. You do not want to hear that voice in a dark alley unless you wanna jump out of your skin.


The Florida coastline was perfect for this film. I imagine it was somewhere along Dismal Key or Chokoloskee Bay ( yes, it’s a real place ). The Cinematographer, William Cook knew how to bring out the beauty in the area where no tourist dares to wander. The aerial shots were breathtaking. William also handled the stunt choreography and sword fighting which was very impressive and believable.


You can have a spectacular script, great actors, a wonderful DP but if the music falls short it’s going to ruin a film. Thank heaven our Producers, Christian, William and Antonio knew this. They hired Filip Olejka and his score was absolutely stunning! It fit this film so well that Hans Zimmer himself would’ve been jealous.

Sensational job on creating a wonderful, adventurous film that makes the audience want to see more!
