Clash Of The Titans / Wrath Of The Titans Double Pack Blu-ray
Clash of the Titans "Release the Kraken!" Ah it could only be Clash of the Titans the 2010 remake that retains the instruction to unleash the great beastie from the sea The 1981 original boasted Ray Harryhausen&s legendary stop-motion technique of animating various mythological creatures--it was his final feature project--and given the cornball approach of the movie in general that was the main draw The remake supplies new state-of-the-art special effects (released theatrically in 3-D) and a nicely muscular sense of momentum Sam Worthington (the Avatar guy) plays Perseus a demigod who doesn&t know that Zeus (Liam Neeson) is his father Perseus is selected to lead an expedition to find and slay the Medusa lest Zeus&s evil brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes in fine slinking mode) rain
down misery upon a seaport--and you just know that means the Kraken is coming Ye gods it&s a mess and we haven&t even mentioned the witches and the harpies and the giant scorpions But if we did it would be clear that Clash of the Titans is a perfectly dandy popcorn epic unpretentious and punchy Director Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2) gets a fine rhythm going during Perseus&s trek and you can even forgive the hokey shafts-of-light-through-clouds look of Olympus Leterrier also had the good sense to import the marvelous Danish star Mads Mikkelsen to provide mentoring duties to Perseus; Gemma Arterton and Alexa Davalos fulfill the eye-candy roles It&s up to individual viewers to choose which they prefer--Harryhausen&s magically hand-wrought creations (his Medusa sequence is an absolute
killer) or the 21st century&s slick computer-generated variations But nostalgia aside it would be hard to deny that this is one case where the remake tops the original --Robert Horton Wrath of the Titans A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken Perseus (Worthington)--the demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)--is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son Helius Meanwhile a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans Dangerously weakened by humanity&s lack of devotion the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader Kronos
