Clash Of The Titans

Sam Worthington is fast proving himself to be the action hero for the 21st Century is Clash Of The Titans is any indication. Sam stars as Perseus, the bastard son of leader of the gods: Zeus, played by Liam Neeson, who rejects his godhood after his human parents and sibling are killed by Hades.
Picked up as the sole survivor of a shipwreck caused by Hades, Perseus joins forces with a small group of warriors in the quest to retrieve the head of Medusa to use as weapon against the horrific Kraken.



Within a short period, unless Perseus is successful in his quest, the king's daughter will be sacrificed to the Kraken in order to save all of humanity from a literal hell on earth. Mankind has angered the gods in its refusal to worship them. Zeus allows Hades free reign to stop Perseus and his men. Unbeknownst to Zeus he's falling into Hades hands in his plans to become the leader of the gods.



On their quest Perseus and his men encounter giant Scorpions, magic, demons and other underworld creatures and ultimately meet up with Medusa. The final confrontation with the Kraken is a masterpiece of special effects. The entire film incorporates cutting edge computer generated graphics. Look for a playful wink of the eye to the original Clash Of The Titans film effects master Ray Harryhausen and see if you can spot the actor that played the chief villain in the James Bond film: Casino Royale.



Clash Of The Titans from Warner Bros. delivers on all fronts: lots of action and effects and an impressive cast.

The special Blu-ray triple pack DVD set comes with Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy. The Blu-ray version contains tons of featurettes and commentaries and a special alternate ending to the film.
