Movie review

 

  Jason and the argonauts

 A Sci-fi or Science fiction and action movie that is made from the famous tale from Greek mythology: the quest for the Golden Fleece. Its the story about the journey and victory of a young man to fight for his destiny and kingdom. This film is suitable for any types of viewers, it is recommended to watch specially those who are very interested on Greek myths because it showcase different gods and goddesses and their strengths and weaknesses. Though it is too long compared to other films but it is complete story.







The film is about the adventure of Jason to retrieve his throne and the kingdom from his wicked uncle ,Pelias agreed in one condition but to get the golden fleece and bring it to him. Then Jason accepted the challenge, and go on a journey with Hercules and the Argonauts. They overcome and succeeded all the trials, battles, temptation and sorrow from the several adventures or battles such as the women from Lemnos, the harpies, clashing rocks and the dragon, they surpass able to get the fleece and bring back his Kingdom.
 

The theme is very inspiring and hopeful because of the strength and courage of Jason to fulfill his destiny and goal . It is also very heroic because he sacrifice his life through his voyage in order to fight for what he deserves. 


Jason London played the role of Jason, his performance was amazing very suitable for his character because his looks are good and strong while his acting is great he justified the role well. He met my expectation because he is a good actor by his facial expressions, delivery of dialogue and actions. While some of the cast are also good , but I admit that Orpheus (Adrian Lester) didn`t met my expectation because I thought that Orpheus looks way better and fairer but I think he still did a great job in portraying his role.



The editing of this film is good yet not that smooth because some scenes are not realistic like the scene that Jason and the bull are fighting it isn`t that convincing for me. Though I was amazed to some adventure scene like in the clashing rocks, the audience could feel the tension and suspense because of the falling rocks. 
 

On its Sound engineering, it was great because every scene has its background sound specially on its battle scenes and one of it was were they`re conquering and hunting the harpies because the sound of it are too tricky and scary because of the high irritating groan of the harpies.

Lastly the Cinematography was a blast on its overall presentation because all the lighting, visual effects are effective to convince the viewers about when and where the story happened. I like how they creatively shot each scenes specially the scenes when Hera and Zeus appeared on the clouds and arguing or talking though it also doesn`t look realistic , I still love it.
