Hmmm... looks interesting but almost too animated

Parts of their faces, the drips of water on their shoulders looked CG'd.

Re: Look out 300- Here comes Beowulf

it looked like all the actors were CG'ed over ... just like how Tom Hanks was in The Polar Express

Re: Look out 300- Here comes Beowulf

I heard the whole movie was CGI and not covered over like people think. If thats the case then it looks very good.

Re: Look out 300- Here comes Beowulf

Im kinda wondering if the video/trailer that they have released so far is only preliminary and that final cut will look stellar.

*Edit- Did some more digging on wiki-

[QUOTE]The following October, [I]Beowulf[/I] was announced to be projected in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-D_film"][COLOR=#0000ff]3-D[/COLOR][/URL] in over a thousand theaters for its release date in November 2007. The studios planned to use 3-D projection technology that had been used by [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_House_%28film%29"][COLOR=#0000ff]Monster House[/COLOR][/URL][/I], [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Little_%282005_film%29"][COLOR=#0000ff]Chicken Little[/COLOR][/URL][/I], and 3-D re-release of [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare_Before_Christmas"][COLOR=#0000ff]The Nightmare Before Christmas[/COLOR][/URL][/I], but on a larger scale than previous films. [I]Beowulf[/I] would additionally be released in 35mm alongside the 3-D projections[/QUOTE]

This sounds potentially cool!

Re: Look out 300- Here comes Beowulf

wasn't there already a movie done that was supposed to be Beowulf - 13th warrior with Antonio Banderes I think it was? I saw it in my English class back some years ago.
