Product Description
Perseus, the mortal son of Zeus, battles magic, monsters and ancient gods to rescue beautiful Andromeda from a primeval sea monster.
Amazon.com
You have a classic tale full of drama, passion, and adventure. A tale of universal archetypes that speak to everyone. A tale that has remained unfailingly popular for thousands of years. Why not spice it up with a wacky mechanical owl? Such was the thinking behind Clash of the Titans. Maggie Smith, Laurence Olivier, and Harry Hamlin (one of these things is not like the others...) star in a toga-ripper about a valiant hero, capricious immortals, and lots and lots of giant stop-action monsters. Perseus (Hamlin) is the favored son of the god Zeus (Olivier), but he has unwittingly ticked off the sea goddess Thetis (Smith). Just to make things worse, Perseus falls in love with the lovely Princess Andromeda, who used to be engaged to Thetis's son. Soon Perseus is off on one quest after another, with Zeus helping, Thetis hindering, and lots of innocent bystanders getting stabbed, drowned, and squished. Of course, the whole thing is just an excuse to show as much of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation as possible, and good thing too. It's an old technique, but it still looks pretty darn cool, and it means the cast can just relax and do a bunch of reaction shots. Don't use this one to study for that big classical mythology exam, but if you just turn your brain off and enjoy the Kraken, it's pretty good fun. --Ali Davis

Better than the the new release. I like both movies but nothing will replace the original.
Decent DVD presentation when upscaled August 25, 2010

I have a Samsung BD-C5500 bluray player connected to a Sony 46" 1080i max resolution widescreen set. Placing the sharpness level on the player to medium and the noise reduction level to low, the upscaled DVD image at 1080i looks very nice and clear. I think I'll stick with this disc until the film is restored properly.

Clash of the Titans-"Original" August 15, 2010

This is a 'Classic" movie from the past that has captivated many young hearts. The ancient "Gods" of Greek mythology
are portrayed well. The Hero-Perceus, The Villian- Calibos, The Princess- Andromoder, Pegasus & Medusa are all there.
