Beowulf - A Next Step in 3D Animation

I've just seen this movie from a XviD. At first, I was interested of this movie because it has epic battles, heroic story, medieval theme, and great cinematic trailer which reminds me to the award-winning Lord of the Rings series. A kind of movie which I haven't seen for quite some time since Troy.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, A creative director which has produces many great movies like Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, and The Castaway. Beowulf take a story about Swedish (Geatish) legendary hero named Beowulf, who battles demons in Gothland around 500 A.D. The legend are written on a poem, said that he killed a monster named Grendel and his mother. By his victory he then became the king of Gothland (Denmark) for over 40 years. Before his death he fought a giant dragon, but the battle costs both the dragon and himself.

My first impression of the movie is that this movie is very unique. It combines a 3D animation with real actors (CGI). I've never seen a movie like this before and I thought that Beowulf is kind of epic movie like Lord of the Rings or Narnia. The last time Robert Zemeckis 3D animation movie was The Polar Express, which is completely cartoonish look (just like Shrek or Toy Story). Beowulf is played by real actors, then the scenes are rendered and reanimated in 3D creating a new experience in movie history. Unlike The Polar Express which has flaws in animation and models quality, Beowulf is very beautiful. It is technically very advanced and well polished making it looks almost perfect, just like in reality.

Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, and Angelina Jolie acting in this movie are amazing and natural. I really like seeing actors modelled and animated in 3D, and by seeing this movie, it's just like your imagination comes true! I must admit there are some flaws in the animation which make you sometimes feels like watching Shrek but with real actors. But with great visual effects and beautiful panorama that you see, this movie really blows your mind! I would really recommend this movie. It's a movie that you never seen before. A next step in 3D animation & technology, and an great epic story.

Fans of Lord of the Rings movie should like it, although it is not recommended for young children (I say that it may be the bloodiest 3D animated movie ever). But overall, this movie rocks!
