Clash of the Titans

The original Clash of the Titans had spectacular moments, the most memorable one being Medusa’s lair, but it was mostly a campy mess, and a modern remake seemed like an inviting proposition. Had producers decided to make the picture in 3-D before Avatar’s mega-success, we might’ve had something that was at least visually fun with this remake. Instead, filmmakers decided late in the game to convert Titans to 3-D in post-production. The result is a poorly executed story coupled with the very worst excuse for 3-D effects I’ve seen yet. Sam Worthington, of Avatar fame, grunts his way through the role of Perseus; he actually made me miss Harry Hamlin, star of the original. The 3-D is awkward, unimpressive and unfortunate.
