Amazon.co.uk Review
"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
DVD Description
In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, Perseus and his warriors will only survive if Perseus accepts his power as a god, defies fate and creates his own destiny.

Don't waste your money on this release. While the film itself isn't bad,the 3D effect is very poor. Many scenes are obviously 2D. Not one to show off your 3d Tv's capability. One to avoid!

Format:Blu-ray
I had already seen this movie before, so I knew what I was in for: an interesting story, lots of action and great special effects. Sure, the script and the acting will never win any Academy Awards (are these even relevant anymore?) I would rate this movie in regular 2D with 4 stars, but since the 3D is well done I gave it five! The 3D really helps to suck you into the action -- which there is lots of -- and it made the movie more enjoyable for me. Audio- and video quality are top notch. Just make sure that you watch it on a big tv (I have a 55" screen); I'm not sure that watching it on a smaller screen will have the same impact. My rule of thumb for determining which screen size to get: if you're switching from a regular def tv pick the size that you think you'l need and add two sizes. If you're upgrading an HD tv, pick one size bigger than what you think you'll need...

What a load of rubbish! I would not recommend this to anyone. computer effects i cant stand you are better using material objects as this is more realistic and it doesn't look like your watching a video game.

When this first came out in the cinema I thought, from the trailer, that it was just another high tech re-make of a classic. Read more

A must have 3D movie with full of action and thriller. Fantastic sound for this kind of action movie and off course good quality 3D production.

Better than I expected
This film was roundly slated at the time of release and I suspect a lot of people would have avoided it for that reason. Read more

Clash of the Titans
This film is OK, But if you have a Samsung 3D TV then the up scale to 3D does the same job.
Save your money and buy the 2D version and up scale.
