Wrath of the Titans

Seen in Real-D rather than Arclight 3D, I’m pleased to say that the movie was not too dark and flying swords and chunks of lava jumped out of the screen at me appropriately, as they should. The cast is strong and bring the right amount of gravitas to the oblique tale of gods, demigods, and monsters at war for some reason. There were several effects I really enjoyed, including long-computer-aided tracking shots, an appearance by forest dwelling giants, a cool land of stone mazes, and a massive lava monster. The story and the drama don’t really resonate, it’s a forgettable movie, but I was pleased nonetheless to have seen it.
