Clash of the Titans - 3D english movie review
The super heroes have had their say. The wizards and hobbits have done it too. the ordinary mortal has flexed his muscles. The man-machine has also tried to bend the matrix. Now, it seems to be the turn of a new kind of hero who must save the world from impending doom: the demi-god.

After Percy Jackson, we have Perseus (Sam Worthington), the messiah who, as the film insists, combines the best of man and god and has a responsibility that seems to be even greater than the gods. He must save the entire human race from the wrath of renegade gods, like Hades (Ralph Fiennes), without succumbing to the allurements of super gods -- and super dads -- like Zeus (Liam Neeson). In the midst of his arduous battles, Zeus offers Perseus the opportunity to leave it all behind and cross over, to become the ruler of Olympus. Apna Perseus politely refuses. He prefers to be a man and serve mankind, he confesses. Clap, clap!

The film maybe a re-make of the 1980s film. But it actually doesn't feel dated. Firstly because it is so much like playstation push-button fantasies. And secondly because the entire drama is an explosion of special effects and digital exuberance which bring to life larger-than-life monsters and creatures cavorting in an exotic landscape. The core of the film is essentially the three battles which Perseus and his ragtag army of bedraggled men fight for survival. The first is with a giant scorpion, which seems indestructible, the second, with the slithery Medusa in her secret lair and the third with Kraken, the gangster god's last weapon which seems to be a strange mix of T-Rex and Godzilla. Needless to say, all this is nail-biting, popcorn- gobbling stuff.

A word about the 3D effects however. This time, it seems to be an after thought, which means, there's hardly anything that reaches out to you threateningly, as it did in Avatar. In fact, the only thing common with the SFX super storm, Avatar, is the presence of Sam Worthington. So, don't go looking for a similar blitzkreig and you might get the requisite bang for your buck.
