Watched the U.S.A.'s 2012 Wrath of the Titans (1:39:03). After destroying the Kraken, Perseus decides to live as a normal man living on a fishing coast, but his father, Zeus, visits him and asks for his assistance in preventing Kronos from unleashing demons on earth and ultimately taking away the powers of the gods.
The advanced special effects in this movie are stunning, yet pale side by side with the albeit cruder matting and animation magic of the 1958 The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and the 1963 Jason and the Argonauts. The suspension of disbelief is further destroyed because of the attempt to cast stars as some of the characters for commercial purposes; for movies like this, however, there is more identification in watching a cast of nobodies in non-acting roles. As a result, the movie is best enjoyed merely as a hi-tech video game.
