In a night of partying and revelry, Hrotgar King and his subjects are attacked by Grendel, a giant monster that destroyed the King's Men. Help Needed promises great riches to those who took the monster. In its shores comes Beowulf, a hero destined to create a legend that will inspire great songs. 
While people here in the street just know the story and only you know the name thanks to this aberrant Christopher Lambert movie of the same title, Beowulf is an Anglo-Saxon epic poem written around the eighth century and of comparable importance to the Song of mine Cid in Spain or The Song of Roland in France. Robert Zemeckis has brought the story more faithful to the fiasco of Lambert, but interpreted by digital actors, but with meat and bone. This is the main attraction in a film that entertains but was somewhat insipid, with the feeling that monopolizes the story action with two big battles at the beginning and at the end of the function. The poem went through the hands of screenwriters Neil Gaiman (also author of works like the Sandman comics) and Roger Avary (Silent Hill, Pulp Fiction) that have proposed ending the gaps in the poem and move it to the big screen a complete history and adapted to the film viewer, and so, manage to complete what, who knows, has been lost over time oral tradition of the original poem. The story not only speaks of great battles with supernatural creatures, with a violence-free action is not explicit, but also the inner demons. Male victims of their passions and flaws that end up killing in life and condemning them and those around them. Beowulf is a human character, as it is defined at one point "Remind me not as a king or a hero, but as a man, fallible and imperfect," though a hero, when we contemplate that we realize is not the archetypal hero classic, has very human flaws that stand out more than his virtues as a warrior.
Undoubtedly, the most attractive of this production is the kind of filming, for years, failed Final Fantasy The Spirits Within (2001) , already predicted the arrival of a new animation film computer, and now, 6 years later, Robert Zemeckis, who already use this technique in Polar Express (2004), returns to the fray with technology renewed. Now do not try a Christmas story for children, but an epic story with violence and suggestive scenes. Unlike the production of Final Fantasy, Beowulf moves to digital actors to the world of pixels, and actors, Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, Robin Wright Penn, Ray Winstone and John Malkovich. All covered with monkeys and sensors were moved from a cold room with motion capture to the 5th century Denmark. They highlighted the simplicity of the production and agility to roll, then, free of makeup, costumes or repeat shots from different angles, they made the scenes acting freely and pulls. The effect on the big screen is noticeable, and the actors are easily recognizable, even some improved (Ray Winstone is fantastic commented that being turned into a blond hero 1.95 and athletic body, when it measured 1.55 and budding belly), and their performances are convincing to be reflected in animate beings, but lacking in real life or not?. This technology allows you to create great battles and heroic impossible and costly real picture, only to Grendel would have needed a puppet of four meters and computer animation, and of course, devoid of interpretation, here, is a character that wakes fear and pity. The computer animation for scenes of action is normally like to animate creatures, but here, not out of tune, something that however much you try to almost always does, but covertly with the exception of big productions where the effects engulf a large percentage of the budget. To make matters worse, I personally consider it the cinema of the future ... Can we bring back to life to defunct cinematic stars?, "Give new records to physically away from the role players?, Only time will tell, but clearly did not happen to be a genre rather than be seen when it is built firmly or it will be a rare occasional billboard.
