Beowulf

Overall, this is impressive. It’s visionary and it’s exciting. However, I didn’t see it in 3-D and I wish I had. The animation is, at times, inconsistent. Beowulf is well animated and uncannily human. But occasionally, the supporting characters aren’t as expressive. Their facial movements are computer-y and, in moments, the animation is a bit like Shrek. Other times, the animation is gorgeous and photorealistic. There’s a good moral here too: Don’t let the temptation of beautiful dragon/women make you lose sight of your goal.
