Summary: In this 3-D digital retelling of the epic poem, the larger-than-life hero battles against demons, monsters . . . and temptation . . .
Things I Liked: The intensity of the action sequences. Much of the modeling and rendering visible in the close ups is breathtaking. In some of the B-scenes, the voice talent is so powerful that it manages to "plus" the animation. The story and plot of BEOWULF offer an interesting and original twist on the classic saga.
Things I Didn't Like: The creature, character and costume design. The animation and rigging in the longer shots - particularly with regard to the way subtle human actions are handled. There has been much praise regarding the environments and backgrounds but nothing stood out (to me) as particularly groundbreaking.
