Storyline: Perseus braves the treacherous underworld to rescue his father, Zeus, captured by his son, Ares, and Brother Hades who unleash the ancient Titans upon the world.

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned... Written by Warner Bros. Pictures.

DVD Archive Review: Ten years have passed since the mighty Perseus defeated the Kraken, and now all that he yearns is the normal life with his son, Helius, who has no Demi-God powers. Elsewhere, however, bad blood is boiling in the Underworld, with Zeus having been betrayed by his Brothers Hades and Poseidon. It will take the power of them all to defeat the one God that threatens the entire world…Kronos.

This sequel to the original "Clash of the Titans” that was remade in 2011, has potential for being absolutely great. But, what the viewer has to realise is that this is a "Sequel” and not an "Original” conceptual idea, and so, with a more ensuing approach from the storyline, plot and special FX/CGi it brings together very good viewing. There is an essence that lingers with the "Titan” movies, and that essence usually plays out a good part in the "Saturday Matinee”, and even more so when they are released on DVD/BluRay. Let there be no mistakes, the film will make a gate crashing appearance when released on Home Entertainment Disc, and it may well attribute to a larger viewing base world-wide from those who didn’t go to the cinema, but it will dither in the  ratings should there be a third instalment of the franchise.

The solid collaboration between the entire cast is symmetrical, as is the action sequences that are breath taking and stunning. The sub-plot which involves Helius (John Bell) is needed more than just wanted because of his brief introduction at the end of the first film release, and one which was totally absent in the original "Clash of the Titans”.

Zeus (Liam Neeson), Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston), give this film one of the better side-step stories within a main story, which is most probably why the whole idea of a sequel was in order in the first place. Nonetheless, the feuding Godly Brother’s had to have some kind of personal exposure, due to the storyline in the first being about Perseus and the Gods that wished him only harm. What was not pointed out in the first film, and one point which we believe should have been inserted, was the matter of Kronos being the father of the three Brothers, and, as strange as it may seem and sound, that Kronos is the Grandfather of Perseus – so what strange DNA and Genes does Perseus proclaim?

As far as sharing this film with your girl, your wife, or even your sister…think of the actual Genre of the film first before you decide – and maybe make the wrong decision. It is an Epic Fantasy Adventure movie that rolls with the punches of several hundred variations of Myth and Legend combined, so imagine with great thought whether or not you’re GF or BW will forgive you for using the shared joint DVD Rental Card on renting a testosterone injected two hour extravaganza that will keep any red blooded man perfectly enthralled – as long as that is what the man is into, of course.
