Pleasant, lite, pre-Holiday fare. Complete with rotting flesh, cartoonish sexual innuendo, extreme violence and drunken nudity. And I’m not describing my Remembrance Day weekend.
For some reason it cost an extra two bucks to see the flick in 3-D; same theatre, same projection equipment (with a small addition), and you don’t even get to keep the glasses. I guess a gimmick is a good thing and ought to be milked for all that it’s worth.
The film was acceptable although it bore virtually no resemblance to the actual tale. Call it Beowulf: the Hollywood Years. The 3-D was a nifty gimmick but nothing more. I expect, if the 3-D is as easy to generate and project as it seems, movie makers might start to experiment more with it. The flip side is that this technique requires films that still look good in 2-D. So, nothing too fancy.
Good film. Neat gimmick. Probably worth the ten bucks.
