I didn't see this in 3D but I did see it on a huge screen equipped with something called "SXHD" (Super X-Tra High Definition?) Anyway it looked great. Much of the scenery looked amazing and there were some breathtaking backgrounds. I am a fan of the original "Clash" and this remake is relatively faithful to the original. There are a number of changes in the story but I can't say I disapproved of them. They actually made for a more cohesive plot than the original had. This movie features a nice cast. Sam Worthington is Perseus and I like his brave stubborn and humble play on the character. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes also star as Zeus and Hades and they are not surprisingly all sorts of fun to watch. One outstanding thing this movie does is establish a group of sidekicks that aren't just fodder for monsters to destroy. Even though they don't survive they all get their licks in and its satisfying. Now I knew I was going to get lots and lots of CGI and yes it was plentiful. The more action/adventure movies I see the less patience I have for it. But I was able to like a bit of what I was subjected to. The Kraken when we do get a look at something other than its tentacles is impressively massive. And although the scenes with Medusa are not as suspenseful as the original they are good and Medusa is a cool creation here. Now for the bad...Hades can morph into some kind of winged bat-vampire creatures that gave me violent Stephen Sommers "Van Helsing" flashbacks. This movie is also filled with quick cut action scenes that are at times frustrating to try to watch. That aside you could do worse on a Friday night at the movies than the new "Clash of the Titans".
