Re: Clash of the Titian's
I greatly enjoyed the original "Clash of the Titans". This could be very enjoyable.
Perseus was a bad ass!

Thanks, viav13. Besides I had not even had my first cup of coffee when I made that post.
I think I spelled that right,lol.

Re: Clash of the Titian's
I didn't like the movie at all. Wife seemed to like it, she likes that kinda stuff though.

You can tell that it was done like that. I mean some of the graphics in 3D were done well, but others not so well and it was real hard to focus on some parts..

Re: Clash of the Titian's
Here's the problem with dimensionalization - when doing CG elements (creatures, environments, etc) you more or less get the 3D for free because the geometry used to create the imagery still exists in mathematical 3d space. However, taking film that was shot in 2D and trying to make it match in 3D space requires a lot of voodoo.
Essentially you have 24 frames per second, but a slightly different image for each eye. Objects that are closer to the camera display more parallax between frames and what compositors have to do in post-production is create "the missing eye." The way we did it on "Alice in Wonderland" was VERY tedious but thankfully almost all of the environments were CG to begin with. There was an army of artists that animated proxy geometry to match Alice, for example - the way her dress moved, hair, arms, etc. This was placed into the 3D environment so that it was in the proper spatial location compared to everything else. Then the original 2D filmed plate was projected onto the proxy geometry. This had to be done for all of the actors and what little set they shot.
"Clash of the Titans" didn't have such luck, so the entire scene had to be recreated and match moved. It was all done in 2 months by an Indian company (as well as artists here in Hollywood). The results were pretty ugly.
A safe bet for a good 3D experience is going to be all CG animated features like "How to Train Your Dragon". Like I said before, you get the 3D aspect more or less for free (but there's still a LOT of work to do). Another one is a movie like "Avatar" that's been shot with stereo cameras, however Hollywood doesn't like the price tag for such things so expect this post-3D to be more the norm.
Right now the studio is fighting with Michael Bay to make "Transformers 3" in 3D.

Re: Clash of the Titian's
Absolute garbage in comparison to the original. This one sucks badly. Ridiculous scenes and characters. Directing and acting is so bad I laughed out loud at supposedly intense scenes. Horrendous waste of time and money.

Re: Clash of the Titian's
I didn't think it was too bad. We saw it in 2D and the only part I thought would look cool in 3D was the intro to the movie zooming through the universe. My wife really enjoyed it. Not enough of the kraken wrecking up the place. Where's Jason and the Argonauts?

Re: Clash of the Titian's
For what it's worth, the guy behind the stop-motion animated creatures in both original films, is still around and quite involved in the industry...

I've had the honor of chatting with him from time to time at VES events - very approachable and while he's a living legends, he's still so floored but what we do nowadays with computers.

Re: Clash of the Titian's
Wow that guy has done a lot of stuff. I laughed out loud that he was one of the surgeons in the tent in Spies like us. Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor. HAHAHA!!

Re: Clash of the Titian's
sucked, original was better.
Was amusing however to see they pulled out the Archimedes Owl prop from the old film for a brief moment..but yeah the recurring theme here is remake hopes to capitalize off reputation of original movie, using visual special effects as a crutch for poor casting, bad acting, terrible screenplay, and campy dialogue...

Re: Clash of the Titian's
Heard a review that summed it up well. Basically no plot and rushes from one cg special effect to the next, simply trying to jam all the graphics into the final cut.

Looks so cool in 3D IMax. Very nice modernized version of the original.

It was entertaining especially in 3D, but its definitely not going to win any Oscars.
