Wrath of the Titans

PG-13; running time 1 hour 39 minutes

Cast: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes

I saw this in IMAX 3D. It was loud, no, it was very loud. The 3D effects were pretty good. The movie is a sequel to 2010’s Clash of the Titans. Sam Worthington reprises his role has Perseus, son of Zeus (once again played by Liam Neeson). Hades (Ralph Fiennes, with his nose) is at it again trying to take over the world. 

It’s been about 10 years since the last time we’ve seen the demi-god Perseus. Once again he is trying to live as a normal human with his son. Thing go awry from there, when Hades and Ares kidnap Zeus so they can release Kronos (father to Zeus, Poseidon and Hades). Kronos is one pissed off pappy, let me tell you. I guess I would be too, if I’d been locked up for eons. It's up to Perseus and company to save the day, again.

This flick had plenty of action. With that said, I would personally like to kick the person’s butt that decided it cool to use a handheld camera and bounce it around to make the action look faster or whatever in the hell they’re trying to accomplish. Whatever happened to watching a movie and being able to tell what is going on in a given scene? Maybe it saves money on special effects, I don’t know. It was used to excessiveness in this movie. To the point that it was hard to tell not only who was winning a fight, but sometimes who was even in the fight. Except for that, this was a pretty good movie. The movie had some light moments supplied by the character Agenor (son of Poseidon) as played by Toby Kebbell.

In spite of the shaky camera work, most people will probably enjoy Wrath of the Titans. If you can, see it in IMAX 3D, failing that at least see it in 3D the effects are worth it.
