Popcorn amusement at its worst

Rating: 2/10 (13 April 2010)

Two things first: one, I'm none too big on myths so I didn't know the backing story. And two, I've never seen the original Clash of the Titans (or cannot remember seeing it) so I'm not going into comparisons.
The film starts when a kid is found at sea gets rescued from drifting. A small bit of film later and he's all grown up and a skilled fisherman who sails the sea together with his family to get some food and fish to sell. During one of these fishing trips they witness an event that can best be expressed as an act of war against the Gods and so this war starts.
What follows is an endless string of battles, explosions of pent up anger and overly predictable near misses, rescues and what else. Added to this is an awfully thin layer of 3D effects which makes the film look and feel like these old school 3D toys where you insert a disc with pictures into a device that looks like a binocular to give them some depth.
Added up you get a thin and broken up story line, somewhat more than OK 2D effects and very very bad 3D effects. Add to that the effect that most of the events are boring and you get what is best described as "one huge waste of tape".
2 out of 10 very irritating hours spent in the cinema
