Show me the Kraken

Rating: 5/10 (1 April 2010)

(Synopsis) "The Clash of the Titans" is set in the Greek city of Argos where a war is about to explode between man and the gods. Persesus (Sam Worthington) raised as a fisherman, but is actually a demi-god, because he is the bastard son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) is about to take on the gods after the death of his family at the hands of Hades (Ralph Fiennes). It is Persesus' destiny to rescue the city of Argos from the ruthless rage of Hades and his Kraken monster. With nothing to lose, Persesus leads a band of soldiers on a quest to defeat the Kraken, which in turn prevents Hades from overthrowing his brother Zeus and destroying mankind.
(My Comment) This movie is the ultimate struggle for power that pits man against creatures (giant scorpions, snake-haired Medusa, and the Kraken), a king against gods, and gods against themselves, and the victor wins the earth. The film was not shot using 3D technology, but converted to the 3D format at the last minute to be trendy, and it really shows. The 3D creatures are not improved at all, and the background scenery only looks like it is in HD format. I did not see anything that came flying out from the screen as a real 3D movie would have, except for the credits. Now I did like the CGI special effects, especially, the scene with Medusa. There are some good fight scenes with Sam Worthington playing Persesus. The other actors were just so so. You can wait to see this movie, and better yet, see it in HD on TV.
