January 15, 2014Percy Jackson - Sea of Monsters is another sequel that doesn't live up to its predecessor, but still has enough entertainment value to be worth watching. It relies far too heavily on CGI, making it feel like a live-action cartoon (but not in a cool, Ralph Bakshi kind of way). The story picks up pretty soon after the first one ended, with Percy and all of the other demi-gods, satyrs, centaurs, and random mythological beings in some kind of safe haven for everything good. When their fortress of solitude is penetrated by an evil force, Percy and his friends go on a quest to find the Golden Fleece to revive the dying tree that had provided them with their force-field of safety before the bad guy can find the fleece for his own evil-doing and raise the Titans from their grave. There is plenty of action and fun, and the beautiful Alexandria Daddario co-stars as Percy's best friend. Again, it is worth watching if you liked the first one, but not particularly special.
