Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Jonathan Liebesman's WRATH OF THE TITANS. While the first film was completely unworthy of a sequel from a critical standpoint, the box office tally ($493M) painted a very different picture for the studio. Not only was the first film disappointing, it also boasted atrocious post-conversion 3D. Sure, the process has improved significantly since last year, but I can't help but feel this is going to be yet another movie that doesn't warrant a premium ticket price. To be fair, I'm not a fan of 3-D whether it was filmed using the technology or converted in post. I thought that Avatar was the exception rather than the rule when it came to 3D films and I really hope the phase will pass in the near future. Sam Worthington has repeatedly acknowledged the many problems that plagued the first film and made it clear that they would try to avoid making the same mistakes in the sequel. It does look entertaining enough but I sincerely hope we're given a better story this time around.

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington) –the demigod son of Zeus (Neeson)–is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades (Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston). The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramirez), switch loyalties and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
