Beowulf

Tonight I went to see the movie Beowulf with my Dad and sister Amanda. It never ceases to amaze me how every time I go to the movies, the price seems to have risen by a dollar or more. It was $9 for the show, and of course the concessions are what the concessions usually are- crazy expensive. Regardless, I do enjoy going occasionally, and going with my Dad and sister was pretty cool too.

The movie was stunning. A visual masterpiece, it was often that I forgot completely that it was animated. The writing and acting were quite good, but it was a long movie, and I didn't really feel like it needed to be. This story has been around for 1,600 years, they managed to turn it into a pretty great action flick without lessening the historic aspect of the story. Unless you're on a larger HDTV with killer sound, I'd recommend seeing this one in the theater. It's one of the few movies that would be worth the price of admission.
