Beowulf (Movie Review)

There have been several tales of Beowulf, an epic poem about a great hero, but none quite like this one. This one graces the big screen in 3D, telling the story of how King Hrothgar's village is being terrorized by the hideous and monstrous Grendel. It appears as though the creature is without match until Beowulf and his band of merry men come to take on the task of killing the beast. When Beowulf single handily destroys the monster, he must infiltrate the bowels of darkness to seek out Grendel's mother(a sea demon), in an attempt to kill her.

But her charm overwhelms him and he is left to live out his days under her shameless curse. This is one of the best 3D movies that has graced the big screen in sometime. The film is entirely done in digital animation with great likenesses to the characters doing the voice overs. Director Robert Zemeckis (no stranger to animated films) did a wonderful job, this visual treat of a movie is literally in your face the whole time. If you have the opportunity, try seeing this on an Imax screen - you'll love it. Although this may seem like a family movie, beware because there is graphic violence and sexual overtones. Just like 300, this is an instant classic.
