Interesting movie

Rating: 8/10 (20 November 2007)

This movie is worth seeing if you're curious of what 3d animation can give these days.
Technically speaking, the camera angles and shots are amazing, and the characters are almost photo realist. Actually, I'd say they are, the only glitch in the photorealism of this movie comes when the different elements are integrated together (environment, characters, particles). But it's way better than what you can usually see in todays short motion animated movies.
The story itself is a legend, so it's got the structure that you'd expect from a legend. A monster, a hero, both fight and then we move on.
Interesting part is that they threw a little bit of subtle humor, so this movie doesn't pretend to be too serious, yet it preserves the mood usually seen in the dark ages movies.
If you have the opportunity to see it in 3D, give it a try, the close shots on the characters face are worth it ;)
