Tukang Nggame Android - The plundering of ancient mythology continues. First Percy Jackson and now Clash of the Titans. The latter is notable for having been accompanied by one of the best trailers I’ve seen for a while. Cutting action shots to music gave the film a sense of epic gravitas, and also appealed to the testosterone-fuelled part of me. It’s a remake of a 1981 film, and apparently it’s faithful in its way. But I’ve not seen it and I don’t intend to. I’ve got a stack of DVDs to check out, including The Littlest Hobo, and a lot of accumulated chocolate to get through. Nostalgia can be fattening.
Clash of the Titans is a completely pointless film that turns out to have had the 3D effect slapped on in post production. At least this is my understanding of things. It was set to be released in March, but the director or some studio types took the decision to postpone the launch until early April so that they could retrospectively apply 3D, and milk even more money from the general public. Much of the time you could lift up your 3D glasses and never really see any appreciable difference between the two images, other than the fact that the non-polarised image was brighter and with more vivid colours, which is the case for every 3D film I’ve ever seen. So if you can, save the money and go and see the 2D version. You will be missing nothing.
Having said that, you could miss Clash of the Titans altogether and no one would think badly of you. The script is pointless, the action is only occasionally stimulating and the characters are shallow as a pool of kitten vomit. I hate to mention the recent Percy Jackson movie again, but despite criticising it in my review, I thought the Medusa scene with Uma Thurman was better than the equivalent effort in Clash of the Titans. The tongue is only occasionally in Sam Worthington’s cheek, which means the seriousness is often silly. But I fear that Sam Worthingtons tongue, cheek, head and body are made of antique mahogany. That’s me calling him wooden. He’s a nice bloke, as far as I can tell, but as an action star he is no Bruce Willis. Who I love, by the way.
Gore could have saved this movie. I’d urge the makers to look to the God of War series to see how Greek mythology should be tackled, but it’s too late for that now. And no one in Hollywood takes video games seriously anyway. Just look at the trailers for the forthcoming Prince of Persia movie.
