First of all, I’m not sure how this movie slid by without an R rating. A pretty much naked Beowulf (save several well-placed pieces of furniture), a pretty much naked Angelina Jolie (save some well-placed… water?), and some extra horrific violence from the extra creepy Grendel was not expected from a PG-13.
Despite the fact that I did not get to see this movie in 3D, which has been getting rave reviews, I was pleasantly surprised. The performance-capture method of animation is very interesting to look at. It has the quite pleasant result of making the completely digitized effects blend seamlessly into the film.
The story itself is intriguing, with touches of mythology, action and politics. Not of which however, overshadow the main source of interest, which is the study of human nature.
Altogether this is a pleasant film, and very visually pleasing.
