Jason and the Argonauts (Movie Review)


            Looking for adventure? Interested in Greek mythologies? Prepare to be thrilled as you begin to unravel the mysteries of each quest. Trust me, it won't put your time to waste!
            The story of "Jason and the Argonauts" was about an ancient Greek mythological hero (Jason), who was famous for his role as the leader of the Argonauts and their quest for the Golden Fleece. He was the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolocos, and the husband of sorceress Medea. The movie was great but of course, you need to read it's story first before you can really understand the essence of the movie. Without having a background of the story, you'll lack some important details in the film.
              The actors were great. All of them brought justice to their roles. You can easily identify which is which especially with Jason (the protagonist) as he expresses the emotions needed for such scene. The sound engineering did well- background effects play an important part in each movie, it brings out the taste and justice to the phasing of scenes. I liked the mystery it brought from the beginning; the lighting was just fine- it brings out additional colors to the story, giving emphasis to the viewers' perspective of the film. The movie contains a computer-generated graphics that ... if you'll ask me to scale, I think it'll be on the average rate (some graphics were realistic while some lack the intensity to the viewers.). I think the only problem during the film was the slow transition of events, some parts weren't that much necessary. Over all, great techniques in filming. The setting and background elements helped create a certain tone on each scenes. No problem with the camera angles as well.
                The movie was worth watching, gained a lot from the Greek mythology (I'm saying this as a student who is barely interested of such), I was also able to enhance my skills in analyzing films too. Definitely will recommend this! Great movie! Great actors! Entertaining and educational at the same time! Enjoy watching!
