The Clash of the Titans 2-Movie Blu-ray Collection — A Long View
Two takes on the Perseus myth — four decades apart — collected on Blu-ray at a price that makes the decision easy. A solid double-feature for anyone who wants the full arc of the franchise.
When people search for 'Clash of the Titans 2,' they're usually looking for one of two things: the 2010 Sam Worthington remake, or some way to own both films without paying twice. This two-movie Blu-ray collection answers the second question directly, and it's worth understanding what you're actually getting before you add it to cart.
The original 1981 Clash of the Titans is, in many ways, the end of an era. Ray Harryhausen completed his career with this film, and his stop-motion creatures — Medusa, the Kraken, Calibos — represent the apex of a practical effects tradition that stretched back to King Kong. Watching it on Blu-ray next to the 2010 version is almost an accidental film school lesson in how visual effects philosophy shifted over thirty years.
The 2010 remake, for its part, was designed as a franchise launcher. It succeeded well enough to generate a sequel — Wrath of the Titans — though the critical reception was mixed. What it does well is scale. The creature designs are enormous, the action is relentless, and the Blu-ray format captures the film's visual ambitions more faithfully than a standard DVD ever could. If you came to the mythology through this version first, the disc holds up.
For collectors, the practical consideration here is packaging. The listing notes Spanish artwork on the sleeve, which is a minor but real detail if you care about how things look on a shelf. It doesn't affect the discs themselves, but it's the kind of thing worth knowing ahead of time rather than discovering when the package arrives.
At its price point, this set functions best as an entry point or a gift. Someone who wants to explore both interpretations of the Perseus story — or a younger viewer encountering either film for the first time — will find it a clean, no-fuss option. Dedicated collectors building out a Greek mythology section of their library will likely already own both films separately, but for everyone else, the bundle makes straightforward sense.
