Beowulf (2007)

**Morty** · 11-20-2007, 12:39 PM

Movie Title: BEOWULF (2007)

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Rated: PG-13

Genre: Animation/Action/Fantasy

Runtime: 113 Minutes

Viewed: IMAX 3D Stadium Seating (should have sat higher up in the stadium)

Synopsis: To sum it up, the movie is a story about greed, lust, and glamour that mankind often loses against. The evil monster/demon in the mountains above is greedy for riches such as gold, diamonds, etc. This female demon fulfills the greedy desire to have everything a man would want in exchange for being impregnated and in the case of this movie, the Golden Dragon horn. As long as the demon keeps the golden item, the man may keep all that she promised. If the golden dragon is ever taken away from her, she revokes her promise.

Opinion: This movie was bad ass. Computer graphics were insane. Action scenes were great too. Story line wasn't anything unique, but being I love computer graphics, I was a sucker for this movie. My wife seemed to enjoy the movie too.

Characters were amazing in detail and motion and expressions. And it was fun to pick out the various characters that were actually a CGI version of the real actors that were doing the voice over.

Of course Angeline Jolie was detailed to have amazing curves and perfect breasts. They took her face and looked like they created the body she had a few years ago before she got so flipping nasty skinny.

Quality of the movie was so crisp and detailed, I forgot it was even an animation. Felt like I was watching real recorded people.

Movie ruled. Didn't love it as much as Transformers, but I still recommend this movie.

Try and see it in 3D at an IMAX if you can. But its not necessary. If you do go to an IMAX 3D, sit as high up/back as you can. With the 3D glasses on, I should have been back further in the room so that my eyes weren't able to see parts of the screen around the outside edge of my glasses. Couldn't get the entire screen to fit in my view through the glasses at the same time.

Acting (Scale from 1 to 5):

Story/Plot (Scale from 1 to 5):

My Overall Rating (Scale from 1 to 5):

Fuck...they made you hire the stadium just to see a movie..I would have thought they just made you buy a ticket to see it not hire the whole fucking place.

Well when you smell as bad as Morty does you have to make him "HIRE" the whole stadium.

Of course, the higher up you sit the worse it will smell............stench travels up.

I heard this movie was awesome except for all the gore and blood!

**Morty** · 11-21-2007, 12:21 PM

The gore and blood wasn't really that intense I thought. Because alot of the scenes where people are being torn apart, the light in the room is flickering or its a shadow showing the carnage, so you really don't see it.

I wouldn't be concerned with an adult going. Even with a squirmish girlfriend or wife.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to see this or not from the trailer, but I might give it a look..problem is our cinemas are shitty over here...no IMAX 3D or any of that.

**Maximal** · 11-21-2007, 04:35 PM

I heard that any theatre that was going to show it had to install a special lens over the screen and hand out glasses so it would be viewed in 3D

Yep...but I'll bet that doesn't apply to my local flea pit...
