No Titans, Debatable 3D

Rating: 1/10 (3 April 2010)

It seems I've had a stream of bad luck of late with films such as 'Percy and the lightening thief' claiming to be the American 'Harry Potter' and turning out to be just another iteration of the 'Scary/Epic/Hero Movie' genre. However films like these at least stayed true to themselves once you got into them and played on the strengths of the teen comedy/spoof genre's.
'Clash of the Titans' doesn't seem to know what it is.
I'll first start by saying that there is NO WAY this film was made for 3D. The trailers before the film were far more impressive and interesting. Depth perception rapidly changed from scene to scene (painful on the eyes) as if each shot was not planned with 3D in mind. Other shots only had 3D elements or none at all, evident by 0 distortion when removing the 3D glasses; this was also straining on the eyes and far less vivid than a true 3D experience. The best existing example I can think of is the old 'Doom 3D' game where the levels were 3D but the monsters were just 2D sprites floating around in them. Clearly most 3D was done in post editing.
The story was rushed and given poor delivery, though given the quality of the content you may consider this a blessing. The film attempted to mix serious moments with comedy spontaneously transforming itself into a big lump of cheese. Actual CG was top notch but sparsely used until the last ten minutes, by which time you may have already left the room. Acting was generally on the mark but again let down by cheese oozing from the mouths of the Actors and Actresses.
The Director clearly had access to some great CG artists and some fairly decent Actors but his script and screen play would have worked just as well if he'd picked hobos up off the street and placed them in front of a green screen (though credit to him that he avoided the green screen wherever possible).
In short, this movie is terrible, it's mostly slow passed, boring and delivered poorly. Do not go to watch this in 3D, you will have higher expectations and will be sorely disappointed. I give it a 1/10, as I had the urge to leave consistently from the first 10 minutes, which I've never felt so strongly before; if you go to watch it in 2D, maybe you'll want to give it a 2 or a 3, but I seriously wish that you better spend your time on some of the other great movies currently showing.
