One of the early adapters of the latest 3D technology, director Robert Zemekis' "Beowulf" brings back to life the ancient fable of a monster and the man charged with killing it. Computer animated motion-capture technology (similar to what Zemekis used to make "The Polar Express") is used to transform the actors into their cinematic alter-egos, with Roy Winstone as the heroic Beowulf, Crispin Glover as the monster Grendel and Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother. A fun ride filled with action, this is no scholarly retelling of the classic tale!
