Beowulf 2007
So despite the fact that I am homeless and looking for a job, I decided to pay the extra ransom for a digital 3D exhibition. Further I never looked at my watch although I found it to be a bit self-indulgent and shall we dare say "Hollywoody"? But if Hollywood does one thing well it's being Hollywood...-y?
Any way if you glance down the page and find my review of "Nightmare" then you will understand the different dimension that 3D brings to this production. Having been produced in 3D and with that in mind all along, this show really takes full advantage of it. There was only one moment where I found it distracting when the camera was situated hidden behind some rocks looking down on a stylized nude of Jolie.
Nudity aside I thought that the script hits most of the points one analyzes in 300 level English Lit classes— Strings of epithets which detail historical occurrences, pride & boasting, bawdity (new word). So to see that all portrayed was great fun.
I was bummed that there wasn't more Malkovich, but as a quintessential American actor, he does a great job as a Dane who killed his brothers. Ray Winstone also did well and I appreciated the daring performance of a nude Anthony Hopkins as Hrothgar.
Wait wait wait!
Nude, he's animated! Or is he? Or isn't he? I can't tell. I'm so confused. And why does an animated feature need stunt doubles? I did notice at least one sequence where the background was live ocean. The only other problem I saw was that some objects the characters held seemed to be without mass- floating only molecules above a lap or miraculously held aloft by a single arm. Even the strongest of arms can show that an object has mass. Maybe it will teach people that if they are going to shoot in digital 3D, then they should only use live animation. That's why I can't wait until Brendan Fraser's Journey to the Center of the Earth. And by can't wait, I mean can't wait to gouge my eyes out by the very dragon pillaging sword of the hand of the kinkiller Unferth.
