Penginapan Murah - Greek mythology doesn’t translate well onto the big screen. Maybe it’s the melodrama of it all. In the new film “Clash of the Titans,” Perseus, mortal son of the god Zeus, embarks on a journey to save all of mankind from certain devastation as the gods clash with one another. Apparently Zeus has a big chip on his shoulder, and his brother Hades, god of the underworld, is going to put Zeus in his place once and for all.
Penginapan - Shunned as a “demigod” (part man, part god), Perseus doesn’t exactly have it easy. After Hades kills his adoptive family, he must trek over the perilous countryside on a giant scorpion (which has been tamed and domesticated, of course) to seek out Medusa, whose gaze will turn any living thing to stone. Once he finds her, he must cut off her head—a tricky task, considering he can’t look at her. But Medusa’s head is the only way Perseus can save mankind. Naturally, he needs it to defeat the Kraken, a monster sent by Hades to destroy the despi-cable humans.
None of this really makes sense, although it all seems to follow Greek mythology fairly closely. “Clash of the Titans” is a remake based upon the classic 1981 film starring Laurence Olivier. And while the special effects of the 2010 version are magnificent, the action is plentiful and the 3D is really cool, this film still leaves something to be desired.
In the new “Clash of the Titans,” Sam Worthington turns in a predictably over-the-top performance as Perseus, dropping lame one-liners throughout. It’d be nice to see Worthington out of his element for a change. So far his career has been marked by such films as “Terminator Salvation” and “Avatar,” neither giving Worthington a chance to show off any real acting chops. “Clash of the Titans” is no exception.
The rest of the cast is made up of minor players, with the exception of Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades. In some ways, Neeson and Fiennes seem perfect for the roles of the feuding gods. But it’s hard to take them seriously. Neeson spends most of his time onscreen glittering like a disco ball, and Fiennes spontaneously appears out of ominous black smoke, looking constipated with anger. It’s all fairly laughable. The two actors might feel more at home in a soap opera.
While “Clash of the Titans” may not be the spring pick of 2010, it’s nonetheless a watchable film. The special effects and choreographed combat sequences make for some entertaining moments. Just be prepared to leave your brain and any rational logic at the door. Enjoy the movie for what it is: mind-numbing, action-packed drivel.
