Instead of using 3D digital cameras, it uses traditional film cameras.Director Jonathan Ribesman tried several digital cameras, but none of them could achieve the desired effect.

Mythology theme is acclimatized
This film makes it easy for the audience to recognize an old American growth story from under the gorgeous coat of Greek culture."American heroes" could have been embedded in any kind of cultural surface, but in Greek mythology, they were not acclimatized,ancient GreekCultural background andHollywood"Hero growth formula" is out of place, not to mention how absurd it is to look at the intertwined "family relationship" of the ancient Greek gods from a modern perspective."Greek drama" is generally recognized as a term referring to the chaotic and complex ethical relationship among the people, including homosexuality, incest, interracial marriage, and all kinds of strange behaviors.In the face of such a dark history, it is necessary to sort out Perseus' true feelings for his son, and even his son has become his fighting belief. It is like trying to dig out a small and fresh hot spring in the heavy taste, which leads to the main contradiction of the story being pretentious[9]。（NetEase Comments）
