Underused spectacular CGI.

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2014)

"Clash of the Titans" is one of the most anticipated films of my life. I was dazzled by the trailer involving awesome looking visuals that promised a fun theatrical experience. Little did I know director Louis Leterrier would use his ability to make a spectacular looking epic to a bare minimum. "Clash of the Titans" is a remake of the original involving Greek mythology. Perseus (Sam Worthington), mortal son of Zeus (Liam Neeseon), battles the minions of the underworld to stop them from conquering heaven and earth in this disappointment. We all remember in the trailer seeing Liam Neeson shout "release the Kraken" in electric energy. Honestly, some of us probably saw "Clash of the Titans" because of that line. This story has all the potential elements of a stupid, breathtakingly amazing looking CGI fest to dazzle audiences in 3D. Where do we begin? The 3D first of all was sued after the success of "Avatar" and has absolutely no ability to make the audience feel in the film itself b y visual means. It doesn't even have 3D potential. All the creatures seen in the trailer are all you see, and for about the same length of time. Scorpions, the Kraken, creepy bats, Madussa, and more are used minimally. They look spectacular, but are hardly used! More monster mashing please! The Kraken is especially remarkable. He's in it for about a minute. Instead of having a bunch of dazzling visuals thrown at us, we're forced to sit through some of the most pretentious, ludicrous, pathetic destiny-driven aspects that bore us to tears. With a huge budget, a studio known for producing blockbusters, and a plot that revolves around monsters and unique creatures, it sickens me that the remarkable visuals were not used enough.
