Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters [Blu-ray] [2013]

I buy most of these types of movies mainly for their 3D appeal. In all cases, it's like watching an amped up Blu-Ray!! sometimes it feels like a whole new movie experience!! Depending on ones own 3D pros or cons( TV type, Glasses used, etc.); I feel having a choice, the additional cost of buying a 3D version of a movie is the way to go. I have both Active and Passive glasses paired with TVs to match. When all the preceding comes to this movie; I enjoyed it. Not the greatest acting; but all actors can't be Oscar worthy. The story is acceptable for what it is....Sci-Fi. Just enjoy someones imagination with the special effects that this movie offers. Excellent!!! My biggest gripe with bonus features is that they should be in 3D with the 3D movie. Maybe that's asking too much?????

While this movie is clearly geared to the young adult/teen audience I found it a worthwhile watch despite the lack of sophistication;due to the great special effects and large scale use of 3d effects throughout the film. The comedic banter between characters keeps the mood of the movie light whereas I would find a more serious approach as that found in "the 300" or "the immortals" movies more entertaining, but that is clearly not the direction the filmmakers wish to go with this movie series.

My 10 yr old daughter has read all of the books and we are not allowed to check the movie out from the library anymore since we've checked it out and renewed it the maximum number of times each time. We bought this as a Christmas gift w/ the digital copy so we could watch it on the go. Needless to say she was super excited when she opened it. If you like Greek Mythology at all, this is a very well done modernization of the stories. FX and CGI are really good. Story was well written with good continuity. All around a good movie with a good score.

While the movie somewhat resembles the story in the book in parts at a high level it is not as good as the "Lightning Thief". The blu-ray has some entertaining bonus features and I'm glad that the digital copy could be redeemed through Ultraviolet, unlike the blu-ray of the "Lightning Thief". If you enjoyed the movie, or think you might, this would be the best way to get it.

The Percy Jackson series is one of my kid's favorites. Although it doesn't get as much praise as the Harry Potter series, my kids do prefer Percy Jackson. I think they simply prefer the Greek/Roman mythology to that of witches/sorcery. As for this version of the movie, I deducted a star for not including the UV digital version.

The mythical sequel to Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. Percy Jackson is yet on another magical adventure with his teen adventurous friends. Enjoyable, action packed with mythical adventures including treacherous sea monsters while trying to find the golden fleece. Enjoyable although slow at times worth the money and the time to see this movie.

My sonand I really really loved the first Percy Jackson, and while this was one entertaining , it just lacked that special quality the first one had. The effects were very cool, but the actors just seemed .....I don't know. I am glad that I bought this movie, don't get me wrong but it is just not going to be watched as much as the first

Even though I'm much older than the typical Percy Jackson fan, I love the story. I've read all the books and am enjoying the movies. This movie shows all the characters growing up and becoming more of the heroes they were born to be. I was just a bit disappointed that it wasn't longer, so the viewer could see more of what was in the book.
