The Short: There are tons of great extras to check out and the feature is outstanding. They couldn’t have done a better job with a remake than they did with Clash of the Titans.

Clash of the Titans has made it’s way on Blu-Ray with an exclusive alternate ending, Maximum Movie Mode and really more bonus features than you’ll know what to do with. It’s a great movie that looks amazing on the Blu-Ray format and WB delivered this disc with a ton of extra material that makes it a must for people who enjoyed this updated classic.

Director Louis Leterrier did an amazing job with this film. You really couldn’t ask for a better job with a remake. He paid homage to the original classic and he did a tremendous job incorporating all of the new special effects and capabilities. He’s teamed up here with Sam Worthington who is pretty much the ultimate badass and is perfect as Perseus. From Worthington as Perseus to Liam Neeson as Zeus, Clash of the Titans is perfectly casted and directed supremely.

If you don’t know the story of Clash of Titans, it’s pretty simple. Man is tired of the Gods being so fickle. They control everything and take away everything for stupid reasons, and mankind has grown tired of the routine. So finally, they take a stand. Only… they might not being giving the Gods enough credit. ‘Let’s take down Zeus! Wait… he controls everything and can punish us severely with Hates and the other Gods… we might not have thought this through!’ When Hates crashes a party and reveals Perseus as a demigod and sets an ultimatum for releasing the Kraken and laying waste to the city, the people begin to panic. With the aid of a few good soldiers, Perseus sets out on the impossible task to find a way to destroy the Kraken.

The movie is amazing. As noted before Louis Leterrier did an incredible job with direction. You really couldn’t have had somebody do a better job with the exception of possibly Peter Jackson. The way he depicted the Greek mythology with all of his characters and the different locations was awesome. All of the actors are well casted as well, but this is Leterrier’s movie and he did an incredible job with it.

This Blu-Ray is full of extras. The alternate ending is here and the good news is it’s a polished ending and not a rough cut. It does give you an alternate ending, albeit a weird one. Clearly they made the correct choice with the ending they chose- I will say that without spoiling the feature. The Maximum Movie Mode on the film isn’t as cool as some of the other’s that I’ve seen but it is decent and it does a good job of providing you with all of the ins and outs of making the movie, and it is incredibly detailed. All of the focus ins other than the Maximum Movie Mode are cool too, including a good look at making Medusa that we’ve seen on the bonus features of Ninja’s Assassin.

Clash of the Titans is definitely worth picking up if you liked the movie. There are tons of great extras to check out and the feature is outstanding. They couldn’t have done a better job with a remake than they did with Clash of the Titans. It puts some of the other more recent remakes to shame and it ends up being a fun two hour jaunt with some pissed off mortals.
