Remember the woman who was killed on the bed and covered in oil? Yep, that’s her. Sure enough, I was right! The UK actress was a redhead in the most recent James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. I instantly turned my Droid on to figure out whom she was. It was like our minds were synchronously one and we both wanted to instantly comment on her beauty. When we saw this in the theater and the film ended both my friend Scott and I looked at each other. Wow! My wife will probably kill me for saying this if she is reading this, but again wow! She is breathtaking. I am talking about the very beautiful Gemma Arteron who plays the role of Io. If you read my columns, then you have probably grown sick of me putting her up on a pedestal these past several months. But what I would like to do is talk real briefly about a woman who caught my eye and never let go throughout the entire runtime of the feature film. The Louis Leterrier directed film stars boy wonder Sam Worthington (he came out of nowhere to star in not one, but three big movies in the past year), Liam Neeson (Zeus), Ralph Fiennes (Hades), Alexa Davalos (Andromeda), Izabella Miko (Athena), Danny Huston (Poseidon) and many more. One that instantly comes to mind involves a so-called robotic owl. There were some subtle references and inside jokes that fans of the original film will definitely get a kick out of. And best of all…they made it a black horse! The storyline was tweaked ever so slightly, but in very good ways. Medusa (although I’m in the minority here probably) and the Kraken were both kick-a$$! They even managed to make the Pegassus flying horse look natural and believable. Instead, let’s focus on all the positives first. I did have one minor problem, but I will bring that up in a few paragraphs. As mentioned before, any qualms with the primitive special effects invoked in the 1981 film are completely addressed and crushed here.
Since this is a remake I think everyone reading this is probably familiar with the plot so we can dispense with the formalities and get on to the good parts. Ready to clash with the Titans? In my head, a million people go “ooh… ah… ooh… ah.” Alright, that’s the spirit! Film So let’s skip the introductions, talk about the film a little more and see how this one fairs on Blu-ray. was kind enough to equip us with a review copy.
But now the time has come for its eventual release on the Blu-ray format and thankfully Warner Bros. I have been looking forward to this remake for a couple of years now, and thankfully, the wait was well worth it. A remake of this classic fantasy adventure film was definitely ripe for the picking. But c’mon… It’s 2010! Let’s get with the times people. I was pleasantly surprised, instantly enchanted and obsessively engrossed within the mythical fantasy world brought to life using the latest and greatest in CGI technology as opposed to that 1981 film I could now produce using miniatures in my garage. After recently suffering through the original 1981 Clash of the Titans on Blu-ray (see review here), my apprehension towards this 2010 remake was quickly relinquished after only the first ten minutes into my theatrical press screening.
