Especially since it is in 3D!!!.-).The story line is quite entertaining, hinging on a threat made by Hades (played by Ralph Fiennes)to send the Kraken to destroy the island of Argos if the beautiful princess is not sacrificed.Perseus, a demi-god (half god, half human) son of Zeus swears to kill the Kraken.This oath takes him into the wilderness to find 3 witches that will let him know how to kill the nearly invincible monster.On the road to see the witches, he and his group of men run into enormous scorpions, a race of.Things that are humanoid, but not quite human, and also a henchman of Hades, who happened to be his mother's husband.Not his father.Confused yet?.-).After their run in with the witches, they find that the key to kill the Kraken in to decapitate Medusa and turn the Kraken into stone with her fateful gaze.Needless to say, Perseus is the lone survivor of the encounter with Medusa and he takes the head of Medusa back to Argos, just in time to stop the Kraken from killing the Princess, and destroying Argos.The movie is very good.I give it, out of ten stars, I give it a 7.But overall.A good movie.It's not on DVD yet but if you like science fiction thrillers, you may also like Sam Worthington's other big film "Avatar.".
