"I am naked!!!"

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2007)

THE way to see this film is in a digital 3D environment. It is one of those films that is enhanced when seen in the proper environment.
Technically speaking, the film, seen in a digital 3D format, is awesome. There are still some work to be done in capturing a realistic gate of a horse running and here and there the movements are jerky. But all in all, this is a technological achievement.
Story wise, the film is pretty good. The bravado encompassed in Beowulf's exclamation of "I am Beowulf" perfectly captures the essence of the character. There is an uncomfortable exhibitionism about Beowolf. He seems intent on meeting his enemies in the "barest" possible setting. If you can get passed Beowulf fighting ala commando, you will enjoy the story and action. The film does start out a bit shaky, but once Beowulf shows up, it picks up pace and we are transported into a fun story.
There has been a lot of advances done with motion capture over the years. At times, you forget this is animated and get pulled into the movie through the character moments where they are thinking, contemplating their next movie. Or reacting to what another character has said. I can not wait to see the technology continue moving forward.
