My Review of the Clash of the Titans in 3D

Allie Bojko
The much anticipated film Clash of the Titans was certainly a film that I was really looking forward to watching especially in 3D and so I did. I did enjoy somewhat of the plot but it was a little far-fetched in some aspects of the movie. Several of the things I disliked about the movie was the way in which they created the mythical petrifying Medusa the women with the snake like hair. They made her appear as a women whose whole entire body was snake like including her hair. In Greek mythology this isn't true when in fact Medusa was a woman who only had snake hair that can turn you into stone just by gazing at her face.

I didn't like how they were screening this movie in their claims that it was a 3D movie when it fact it didn't turn out in that particular fashion when I saw it. It seems like they claimed that it was a 3D movie only so they can charge an additional 5 dollars to the overall ticket prices. When I saw the movie in 3D I did in fact fell like I was shammed out of the additional dollars a paid out to watch the movie. This movie did not work out as well as the other movies that were screened in 3D such as Alice and Wonderland, Avatar and How To Train Your Dragon which certainly were astounding in 3D fashion. If a movie like Clash of the Titans didn't take the necessary time and effort it possesses in order to do well in 3D, it would only detract from the movie. It appeared to me that they just decided to make it 3D in order to give it an extra "umph" to the movie at the very last second and that it feels very lazy and tacky on their part. Many scenes in the movie didn't seem to mesh well with the background and in many of the actual fighting scenes their were out of focus and or blurry, it felt to me as if I was going blind, so throughout the movie I had to actually take off the glasses to see if this was the case.

I was really interested to see this movie only for one particular reason and that was to see how the Australian actor Sam Worthington would fare in this movie. I became such a big fan of his ever since he did the movie The Avatar so I was expecting a lot from him especially in this movie so I paid to see this movie. I already see him doing well in his acting career but I was a little disappointed in his acting in this movie because he seemed a little unreal or unconvincing in this movie and at times seemed a little phony. His role in the movie is Perseus and his only true value in Greek mythology is that he was born to a god (Zeus) and a regular human being and that he eventually goes on to defeat Medusa his only heroics in mythology. In this movie Perseus is looked upon as the savior of the people as he defeated Medusa, the Kraken and Hades when in actual Greek mythology is false.

In my opinion don't watch this movie in 3D unless you'd like to see what I'm talking about and do the right thing and see it in 2D or better yet wait until it comes out on DVD.
