Clash of the Titans 3D

What: Clash of the titans 3D
Where: Nuneaton Odeon
Who: Me, Alex, Stu and Ash

First cinema trip of April and the film choice went to Alex. It has been almost a week now since this trip and it has taken me this long to decide what I actually thought of it. And here it is:

The story in itself is ok, the acting is poor and the 3D is absolutely atrocious.

Seriously the 3d conversion in this film is a disgrace and the people responsible should be ashamed of themselves. A 3d film at Nuneaton costs over £2 more than standard and it is for that reason that I will no longer choose to see films in 3D. I will state again that the current trend for everything to come out in 3d is a fad and will pass. 3D film definitely has a future but the money hungry studios are in with a real chance of saturating the market and destroying what when its done well is the greatest innovation in cinema since colour.

So what about the film. Well if you close your eyes to the glaring inaccuracies in the story (mainly that the Kraken is a Norse myth and definitely not Greek) the action is pretty good. The CGI at times is fantastic but at other times is very poor. Why they choose not to cast an actress as Madussa head is beyond me. The whole Madusa segment is laughable in its poor quality.

The acting is hit and miss as well. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fienes stand out where as Sam Worthington is poor and not a patch on what we know he is capable of.

I don’t really have a lot more to say about this film other than if you are going to see if DO NOT watch it in 3d and don’t expect it to change your life because it definitely wont.
