“I am Beowulf!”
By Matt Margolis | December 2, 2007
“I am Ripper… Tearer… Slasher… Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength… and Lust… and Power! I AM BEOWULF!” - from Beowulf
This weekend I went to see Beowulf at my local IMAX theatre.
‘m sure I was supposed to read the story Beowulf in high school, but probably managed to avoid reading it, or completely forgot. Anyway, it looked like it was going to be a good movie when I first saw a preview for it. When I found out it would be playing in 3D at the IMAX theatre, I knew I had to see it there.
It was really exciting to experience the the movie in 3D. Some scenes were fantastic in 3D, others were harder to appreciate because the speed of the action made it hard to appreciate the 3D, and sometimes it even got a bit blurry.
Still, if you can see the movie at an IMAX theatre, go see it there.
If you can’t, don’t worry, the movie certainly can stand on its own without the 3D. The computer animation is incredible. The plot and drama are captivating throughout the movie. I wish I could compare it to the story, but I don’t remember it even if I did read it in high school.
