Wrath Of The Titans 3D (with UltraViolet) (2 Discs) (Blu-ray)

This is a very entertaining sequel with a better story more action and quality effects, the cast was good and Worthington felt more comfortable and less wooden this time. If you were a little disappointed with the original then hopefully you will have more fun this time.

I'm surprised just how good this is. One of my top blu-ray films of the year! The subject matter lends itself to the great visuals which really are top notch, and the 3D is just brilliant, especially considering the gritty, action style of the film. And the audio is fantastic. Really immersive with all channels getting a workout and some deep, slamming bass. Perfect.
I've just used it to calibrate my sub, which i have struggled with for a long time. There are many different t levels of bass throughout the film which adds to the great action and style to make it one of my top Demo discs of the year!! I want more....

'perseus' ( half god/ half mortal, son of zeus ) has since killing the 'kraken' 10 years ago has chosen to live among mortals bringing up his son 'helius'
'zeus' asks for his son's support to fight off the evil threat posed by his other son, the powerful 'ares' along with zeus's brother 'hades' ( lord of the underworld )
'perseus' is reluctant to help, until, he hears that 'ares' and 'hades' have captured his father...........the evil pair intending to drain 'zeus' of his power to free the 'all powerfull' 'kronos' from his imprisoned state.
if 'kronos' is revived, the world would be under threat from his powers.
'perseus' with the help from 'agenor' ( son of poseidon ) and warrior princess 'andromeda' set out to find their way into the underworld, however they will need help unlocking the secrets of it's labyrinth.
great watch, great visuals, which more than makes up for the weak dialog.............for me---this is why we own 'HD' equipment and 3-D
a must see........enjoy

In reflection I seriously think my original review for 2010's mauled remake of Clash of the Titans was way too kind. I liked it in the cinema but when I re-watched it on DVD i was left wondering had I seen the same movie four months prior. This was probably due to spending quite some time in the Witherspoons bar at Xscape Castleford before I got my ticket, So the thought of the sequel being any good filled me with doubt as If studio sequels operate by the law of diminishing returns, then Wrath Of The Titans is the rule proving exception.
Of course, it helps that the 2010 remake of beloved 1981 fantasy adventure Clash Of The Titans set the bar lamentably low. Fortunately, its 493 million dollar gross allowed Sam Worthington and Co another go and this time, they don't disappoint.
Set 10 years after events of the original, demi god Perseus (Worthington and a Martin Riggs Mullet) is pressed into rescuing father Zeus (Liam Neeson), who's been kidnapped by brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes, this time without the rasping voice)
Making a pact with giant CG monster Kronos, the father they long ago incarcerated in Tartarus, "great prison of the Underworld" Hades has been promised immortality but only if he imprisons Zeus so the Titan leader can feed off his son's powers and escape his fiery jail. Underused in Clash, Neeson and Fiennes get far more face time here, with the added pleasure of Carlos star Edgar Ramirez (as Ares, Zeus' godly son, who sides with Hades and looks like Jesus gone bad!) chewing serious furniture with them.
Perseus, meanwhile, calls upon Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), no longer a Kraken fearing damsel in distress but a rock hard warrior queen, as they search for Tartarus. Newcomer Pike proves a gutsier Andromeda than previous actress Alexa Davalos was allowed to be. Toby Kebbell, along for the ride as Perseus' cousin, Agenor, adds a much needed light touch (even if he's saddled with lines like "I thought I'd give them an eyeful" when a Cyclops attacks). Only a misfiring Bill Nighy baffles as fallen god Hephaestus, his eh-oop accent and hirsute look making him appear like the love child of Brian Glover and Catweazle.
With Battle Los Angeles' Jonathan Liebesman replacing Clash Of The Titans' Louis Leterrier, Wrath learns from so many of the 2010 film's mistakes, not least beefing up the father son emotions (Perseus is now a father, while Ares suffers from serious daddy issues). As for the visuals, Tartarus looks great and from the early moment when the camera dives through the rocks and lava to take us there, the 3D has been vastly improved. Some of the set pieces are also breath snatching most notably the rotating labyrinth that Perseus and pals must navigate.
Liberated from having to release the Kraken, the film's parade of monsters also thrills (particularly Kronos). As Zeus says,"Let's have some fun." And Wrath certainly manages that.
Wrath of the Titans is a much leaner, meaner, and far superior to 2010's Clash cock up. From top grade 3D to a multitude of monsters and a welcome influx of acting talent, this is pure popcorn pleasure.
