Went to the store with a certificate to see what i won and it was $5.00 i won. But got a gr ee's at deal with this movie. Love this move. Great deal on this movie.

Movie was just as good as I remembered it, and despite being old and using old school methods for special effects, it’s held up really well to the test of time.

Harry Hamlin stars as Perseus, son of Zeus. Perseus must face many challenges along his road to destiny and to save the beautiful princess Andromeda from the vengeful goddess Thetis. Supporting Hamlin is a large cast of names including Burgess Meredith, Ursula Andress, Maggie Smith, and Laurence Olivier as Zeus. Harryhausen's special effects are the highlight of this entertaining fantasy. This is not a simple image to review. Most of the special effects shots, of which there are quite a few, are noticeably aged with the creature being shot separately from the rest of the image. This is a standard trick, but quite noticeable on any outdoor action sequences. Indoor sequences fair much better than their open-air counterparts. I applaud warner for not attempting to reign in the disparate images, as we would not then have some of the amazing sequences that we do see. While the special effects haven't aged particularly well, the story is a classic.

Love this older fantasy movie. My Dad and brother were excited to receive in their stocking.

A fun old flick with special effects and creatures by Ray Harryhausen. Greek mythological story of Perseus and Andromeda.
