In this tale of ancient Greece, Zeus (Liam Neeson) tells
the story of deception and lack of faith that lead up to the end of the age of
gods.
In the beginning; Zeus and his brothers Hades (Ralph Fiennes)
and Poseidon (Danny Huston) defeated their evil father Kronos and locked him
and the other Titans away deep under Tartarus. Zeus became the supreme god,
lord of the heavens; Poseidon became lord of the seas and Hades became lord of
the underworld. Zeus proclaimed as law that, no god shall intervene with the
fates of man unless the Titans escaped or were released; and from that point on
together with their great powers they ruled the world. But centuries later, the
once praised and adulated gods grow weak as humans have lost faith through
unanswered prayers.
Now Zeus calls upon his demigod son Perseus (Sam
Worthington) to help him save the world and all mankind. He explains the coming
of calamity and that it will affect both gods and man alike; without prayer the
gods will lose their powers and all their work will come undone. The damage has
already begun as demons seep through the walls of Tartarus. If the gods lose
all their powers they become mortal and can die, and then Kronos himself will
escape and make chaos to bring about the end of the world. Perseus is
unconvinced of his worth and more concerned about the safety of his own son Helius,
so he sends Zeus away to find other gods for this war. Zeus leaves to meet with
his brothers and son Ares (Edgar Ramirez), he wants to unite so they can
rebuild the walls of Tartarus to keep Kronos and the other Titans contained. A
brief scuffle breaks and more demons escape, this time attacking Perseus’s
village; when the threat is gone, he takes his son with him to pray to Zeus.
But Poseidon shows up battered instead and explains how he and Zeus have been
deceived by Ares and Hades and that Perseus is the world’s only hope now; Zeus
has been captured and is a prisoner of the underworld. Poseidon mumbles on for
Perseus to find his demigod son Agenor (Toby Kebbell) who is
with Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Agenor will take him to The Fallen One,
(Hephaestus). The Fallen One will take them to the underworld where together
Perseus and Agenor; two half gods can use all of their powers to free Zeus,
save humanity and try to defeat Kronos.
This movie relates and is a distant offshoot from Clash of
the Titans. Although it’s not quite as creative, still with thrilling action,
adventure, drama and fantasy there isn't much more you could ask for.
