Extremely Disappointing... the special effects and 3d graphics were impressive but the storyline was just horribly bad. If I knew what it was about I wouldn't have seen it.
CGI "actors" are getting there....little by little, but there's still a long way to go. Story is nothing special.
Unfortunately, didn't get to catch it in 3d......I would imagine that might have upped my interest significantly.
Judging by the look of the main character, one surely has to assume Sean Bean was the original "model" for Beowulf.
Saw this at Trillium in IMAX 3D and it was amazing. Most of the time i couldn't even tell that the characters weren't real. The story lagged in a couple places but overall it was a good movie, and add the IMAX 3D and its a movie that i would recommend you go out and see.
I watched Beowulf in IMAX 3d and it was unbelievable. It's obvious that using cg instead of real actors made it extremely easy to convert the whole movie into 3d. The movie itself was good but not super great, but you must see this in IMAX 3d, it's a whole new experience.
To sum up every thing.... This movie is a lot like LOTR. Its about mans greed over taking him and the vicious cycle that can't be stopped. . I was a little disappointed. In my mind I have a hard time watching a fully CG movie. I just don't think we're ready to replace actors (yet). I gave it a shot and it wasn't my fancy.
