    Arrow Clash of the Titans Blu-ray Review

    As far as remakes go, Clash of the Titans was a solid effort in my opinion but I am not sure I'd buy this disc. While not bad per se in any sense of the word, Clash of the Titans wasn’t quite reference material in the audio, video or plot departments. It is however a great night of family entertainment worthy of renting and giving your A/V system a good workout thanks to the DTS HD 5.1 soundtrack and HD 1080p video.

    Why have you posted this in a seperate thread when a thread already exists about this BluRay?

    I like the review, I didn't consider looking at this one until reading it. I was a big fan of the original.

    I bought the BluRay after seeing another add for it. I broke down.

    All in all, its not a bad movie. Once can certainly do a lost worse than this one. I just found that the actors didn't have enough meat to work with so it came across shallow if this makes sense. The video to the most part was very well done. There were some model like pictures that could have been made to look more real like the far away shot of the city and its temple. I also saw the softenesss that Pearl mentioned in his review like whenever they were at Mount Olympus looking at Zeus. It look like thay made that shot intentionally soft. The audio was Ok. Lots of subsonic stuff but not as much use of the surrounds as I would have expected. Would I buy it again? I think so. I give it a 7/10 .

    Great review Scott. Very well written.

    Makes me want to go back and read the books again!

    The Illiad and the Odyssey should be required reading IMO.

    Percy Jackson had a ton of LFE and great dynamics.

    I have to ask the reviewer why he didn't put the average audio bit rate (and sampling rate) of the movie into the review. Was this a typical Warner 48/16 or was it 48/24? I know it wasn't 96/24 or 192/24 'cause Hollywood doesn't do that.

    I'm just asking. I do appreciate the review.
