Pirates of the Caribbean is an Adventure/Action and Fantasy. Action is determined by the use of stunts, chases and pyrotechnics. It is adventure as well as it includes exciting stories, new experiences and exotic locations. Also, fantasy is also included as it includes mythical creatures and has stories which would not exist in real life, for example, Davy Jones Locker.
The narrative for these genres usually include an epic like hero who saves the Earth. Despite part of the genre being fantasy, no magic or wizards or witches are included within the narrative. This is a very unorthodox way of representing Fantasy. For example, the use of magic is used in Harry Potter.
The main sub genres are Adventure and Fantasy
Action films usually include high energy, big-budget physical stunts and chases, possibly with rescues, battles, fights, escapes, destructive crises (floods, explosions, natural disasters, fires, etc.), non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous, often two-dimensional 'good-guy' heroes (or recently, heroines) battling 'bad guys' - all designed for pure audience escapism. Includes the James Bond 'fantasy' spy/espionage series, martial arts films, and so-called 'blaxploitation' films.Fantasy films, usually considered a sub-genre, are most likely to overlap with the film genres of sci-fi and horror, although they are distinct. Fantasies take the audience to netherworld places (or another dimension) where events are unlikely to occur in real life - they transcend the bounds of human possibility and physical laws. They often have an element of magic, myth, wonder, and the extraordinary. They may appeal to both children and adults, depending upon the particular film.
