when is it releasing here?

I've been looking forward to Beowulf ever since I heard of the project, but I found myself doing a double take at this and still thinking 'What the hell? Wasnt it supposed to be a cartoon?'





TRAILER HERE

the main actor looks kinda old.

body still solid though

Its a fully CG animated movie. Angelina Jolie looks like...Angelina Jolie...

Holy mother of all things holy...
CGI Jolie...

looks like crap. why bother with CGI when you can use real actors? I dont find them real at all, all of them look fakey to me. Like a superbly done videogame cutscene. I like the 28 Weeks Later trailer music though, nevermind the fact that it doesn't fit in with the trailer at all.

Eh, I was definately more excited about the movie before watching the trailer. I'm also dissapointed to hear that the R-rated script was toned down to make it PG-13.

Btw, the international trailer is out, it has some scenes not in the US cut.

what did they show of Jolie? why was it R? boob or butt or bush?

it has a Silvestri score. I think Silvestri doing an action fantasy score is good enough reason to catch it at least once. He doesnt get much such work these days. what with producers seemingly preferring the by-the-numbers Zimmer and company sound

The CGI looks like crap!? Are you seriously kidding.

yeah crap in the sense that they tried so hard to make it look real and it still doesn't look real. wait for a few more years la then only try a full realistic CGI movie. for the time being I'll stick to the non-realistic animations of Pixar.

There's no harm trying really. At least this looks far better than the crappy Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. LOL

It is already a significant step forward from the Polar Express for one. The thing about CGI is, they look great when they are released, but they age fast. For example, the CG F-18s in ID4 may have looked awesome in 1997, but now they have dated worse than the post-Return of the Jedi model effects of Star Trek III. As for CG humans, its a fact that the closer they get to the real thing, the more we tend to nitpick.

okay a bump up. its showing on 15th of Nov?
fake angelina showing her b00bsies?

truly said,bro..

went to watch that in cinema,my frens hated it, though i liked it.. i dont know why.. lol
maybe coz the bad guy looked a little like seph..

I had no idea it was in CGI when I watched the trailer for the first time. It looked real. But then again the trailer was in crappy quality so I couldn't really tell.
Kinda makes it less exciting to know that its in CGI and at the same time meant to look real. For some reason. I'd prefer if it was the actors themselves than some animated character. At least the feel is there. If you get my drift.

i read from newspaper that Beowulf is going to show in Imax 3D.

But i've check the schedule of IMAX and no plan to release this movie in 3D also la...

any one has updates?

The first time i came into Polar Express i felt surprised wif the Realistic human CGI style. It looks almost real human to me. I had the same feeling why tried so hard to make CGI characters.

After watched the full movie, the effort is awesome to impress me enough.

Final Fantasy is still one impressive CGI masterpiece to me despite the not so fantasy storylines.

From the trailer of Beowulf, the CGI skills haf reaches into another milestone in the industry. It is either to accept it or skip it from audiences.

The concept is to make perfectnism characters outlook in a movie without "troubling" the real actor/actress that much like keep muscular figure or complex make-up effects spending with long hours.

Besides, Richard Linklater is one of the Director who done cel-shading animation wif manually painting skill in two of his filmworks. You may called it a style or revolutionary in film presentation.

I believe Beowulf is one of the kind to show how's the future film making.
Beowulf style needs multi-talented artists + Artistic technician + Artistic programmers to reach this level of realism CGI.

Hopefully, there would not be overflow realistic CGI human movies like the CGI cartoons nowadays.

Myself still prefer real human movie plus necessary CGI effects. So far i had no problem with Beowulf CGI style as i know such quality of filmwork is pretty rare & hard to achieve.

the CGI is good enought,but the worst thing is the mouth can pair with the voice.
