Man no longer prays to the Gods. Their time is coming to an
end. What man doesn’t realize is that the power of the Gods has been keeping Kronos trapped within the Earth. As the Gods weaken, their prison for Titans
also weakens. Where are they going to go? Oops.
Perseus (Sam Worthington) doesn’t want any part of it. He’s
done doing the bidding of gods like his father Zeus (Liam Neeson), his
half-brother Ares (Edgar Ramirez), and Uncle Hades (Ralph Fiennes). He just
wants to raise his son. Unfortunately the titans will be released upon the
Earth and Kronos will destroy everything. Perseus has to break out the gear
and start being a hero again.
I’m a little rusty on my Greek mythology, but the movie
helps you figure out what you need to know to get the gist of the movie. I’m
not quite sold on Worthington as a good actor yet, but he’s growing on me. I can’t
complain about Liam Neeson at all. I did not get to see the first movie as of
yet (Clash of the Titans) but I am familiar with the version from the 80’s
which has always been a favorite of mine.
The animation is good. You do not have a problem with the blending of CG
and human actors. The Story line is a bit far-fetched but we are talking about
gods, titans, and cyclops, oh my.
Whenever there is a movie with small things in the same scene
with big this, it always seems to get a little hard to follow the action. Make the
action fast, and it’s REALLY hard. There are parts like that in Wrath. The scene
is happening so fast you don’t realize what you’re seeing until it’s done, but
it is not enough to make you give up on the movie.
Not many people liked the first one, and I’d suggest not
letting that limit your options to see this one. I saw it in 3D and it really
didn’t need to be. If you don’t have a movie you’ll holding out for, you might want
to consider it, but definitely see the rental.
Watch for the brief return of an old friend from the 80’s
movie. I won’t tell you who. (I said tell.)
