Multi-Modal - Review of Clash of the Titans

Hello Everybody,

So last week I took my girlfriend to see Clash of the Titans. Unfortunately, it was not in 3D, but it still rocked! I am continually impressed with things that they are able to do with special effects these days. It was really cool to see how in the movie the Gods sat upon thrones that hovered above the worlds, yet it is as if the world of man is just a game board on which the Gods just sit and observe. Also, having seen the original 1981 version of Clash of the Titans it was really cool to watch for the differences and similarities in the two versions. I thought that the new movie followed the story line of the 1981 version pretty well. The only major differences that I noticed, besides a more developed explanation of the motivations of the Gods' actions, was the equipment that Perseus has at his disposal in the film. In the new film Perseus' shield was made of Scorpian armor instead of Gold, and he did not take the mechanical owl with him on his journey in the new version of the film.

It was easy to see the things that would have really popped out if the film were shown in 3D, so I've got plans of going back and seeing it again in 3D. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good action/adventure film. The special effects were amazing and the story line explaining the motivations of the Gods' for their actions was very in-depth and interesting. If you haven't already, go see this movie!
