Wrath of the Titans

Well after the pretty average remake of Clash of the Titans was I really expecting the sequel to be any better, probably not but I am an optimist! Anyhow, surprise surprise it is not very good, sure it looks quite good and there are some concepts that are done very well like the labyrinth, but the story is unbelievably boring.  With all of these fantastic fictional characters with a rich history they really deserved to be given a whole lot more story.

There were some bits which were frankly laughable, trying to stop fire demons with fire... yes really... and then Andromeda orders her men to attack, she runs off head first into the battle whilst her men form up a wall of shields behind her and start slowly advancing, utterly stupid.  I don't know how they managed to get so many of the original cast back! Also Rosamund Pike is no Alexa Davalos.

Film 302/365, Day 328/365 – Surrogates

Not completely unbelievable and very interesting.  What if like in games like Second Life and World of Warcraft where you can customise your avatar you could customise a robot and live your life through that?  You could appear however you wanted, it would quite literally change lives.  But is that really you?  Raise some very interesting ideas.

Synopsis:  In the future most of mankind no longer ventures outside of their homes, instead they use surrogates to go about their daily lives.  Surrogates are a customizable robot that they are able to control using only their minds.  But when two people and their surrogates are killed a cop must venture out into the world without his surrogate to get to the bottom of things.
