Wrath of the Titans is the sequel to Clash of the Titans remake from 2010
Wrath of the Titans is the sequel to Clash of the Titans remake from 2010. Despite the scale of the film and the return of a large part of the talented cast, the film offers even more entertainment than its predecessor. It has become the kind of end that some more artistic filmmakers and viewers like to imagine a movie audience: bloated but meaningless, action-packed but never really exciting.
The story of Wrath takes ten years off after the events of Clash of the Titans. Perseus (Sam Worthington), a demigod and son of Zeus, trying just as in the first part to build a quiet life as a fisherman. The thunder (again played by Liam Neeson) visits Perseus and warns him that the power of the gods to decelerate is. People no longer believe in them and therefore do not pray. That while the gods since the beginning of time have to protect humanity against the titan Cronos. Zeus wants to Titan once and for all destroy but needs the help of his brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes). The underworld god betrayed the people already in Clash but never really used against him. Actually, you do not even the first film to have seen, despite the returning cast. Sure, Zeus seems a bit backward when he is betrayed by Hades for a second time, but who has logic needed in a film about mythology ?!
Thus, the new adventure of Perseus sets off to rescue Zeus and the world once and for all to save Cronos. More by pastor Louis Leterrier chooses director Jonathan Lieberman for a realistic version of Greek mythology. In practice this means that Wrath of the Titans was shot as Saving Private Ryan. The camera runs during the action vigorously shaking behind the leading players. Greece is gray, dusty and almost completely stripped of color. You half expected the spacecraft from Ridley Scott's Prometheus lands in the middle of the battlefield, looking for alien life forms. Compared to film his impression is Greece in 2012, with all its financial problems, not that bad.
The action is in spite of the camera usually easy to follow, which is also partly because there is little room for maneuver during the greenscreen scenes. Battles follow rapidly with puzzle dungeons such as the notorious Labyrinth of the Minotaur. But really exciting will never be. The script do nothing to convey enough emotion between characters, that's why it ended but takes the simplest way: Perseus' abduct son. In that sense, the story of Wrath of the Titans barely more complicated than the average video game. However, God of War has the excuse that developers spend more time with the game mechanics and the viewer truly make the effort to progress the story. Moreover, those games dare to use color.
Extras:
The Blu-ray extras from Wrath of the Titans are sparse but Warner Bros. She has nice packed. The making-ofs (which, of course, especially the display of special effects exist) are cut into bite-sized chunks and can select your own. You can also simultaneously watch the movie by choosing the Path of Men of the Path of God. The first focuses on the special effects and the second on the underlying mythology. You can also find included a handful of additional scenes. It's okay but not nearly enough to recommend the film.
Rating: 4.5
After all these years Peter still does not know if he loves more games or movies. One thing is clear: that makes it perfect material for IGN Benelux! Read about his adventures in film, gaming and geek country on Twitter.
