Review: "Wrath of the Titans 3D movie review"

The sequel to the 2009 Clash of the Titans. Clash of the Titans 3D was the worst 3D movie experience I ever had as it was post-converted. So when I heard that they were shooting the sequel in 3D, I was excited. Clash of the Titans could have been great if not for the shoddy 3D effects. This is what Clash of the Titans should been. This has bigger and epic action and the 3D is a million times better than the first one.

The story: It is pretty straight-forward. The action starts soon enough when the movie opens. The action scenes involving some creatures are few but are great. But it is the climax which is almost the third act that stands out from the whole movie. It is filled with special effects and brawls between gods and demigods. Another scene that is noteworthy is the maze scene. The whole scene is intense as the maze is constantly changing its path to confuse the characters. The maze scene almost take up the second act of the movie. The movie is worth a watch just for these scenes. The music is alright, it can get epic at times but on the whole, Clash of the Titans' music is better than this. Acting is alright. Special effects are good.

3D: It seemed that the director changed his mind about shooting it in 3D and opted for post-conversion later on. And my hopes were dashed. Fortunately, I gave this a try as there are reviews saying that the 3D is definitely better than the first one. To my surprise, it is pretty good. It can be the best 3D post-converted movie I have seen. It even tops Alice in the Wonderland which was the best 3D post-converted movie before this. There are scenes which things like flying debris pop out from the screen. But most importantly, the characters never felt flat. They felt like 3D dimensional.

Overall: It is a cool epic movie. This is what Clash of the Titans could not be. It has the 3D to immense the audience into the world of gods and monsters. People should give the 3D version a chance and forget about how horrible Clash of the Titans'3D was. I hope there will be a third movie and this time I pray hope they will shoot it in 3D.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...
Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...
Quick DVD reviews Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Batman: Gotham Knight DVD review" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2D animated movie has six different stories which are interesting on their own. The stories are fast-paced and some of them are action-packed due to the short runtime. The whole movie is only 1 hour and 16 minutes. Some of the famous villians are featured like Scarecrow and the Lizard. The six different stories also have their different styles, Batman seems like a fat monster in one of the story and he is a sleak man in black in another. Overall: It is a good watch even for those who are not a Batman fan but are into the recent live-action Batman movies. DVD special features-3.7/5 The second disc features two good and informative featurettes. One is about the villans of Batman (36 minutes). The writers and producers explain some of the famous villians like Joker and Scarecrow. The interesting facts are that they even ...
