It's a movie by Robert Zemeckis inspired by and old english epic poem titled Beowulf (the name of the hero) but to save me the explanations there are some links:

the movie's page
http://www.beowulfmovie.com/

and two links from wiki about the origins of Beowulf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_%28hero%29

The movie is animation but all the main caracter are played by real actors by the performance capture technique and render on screen by animation. And many times in the movie the characters seems almost real. It's very well done. The movie is presented in standard format and in imax 3D. And if you want to see Angelina Jolie in 3D ....
There will be competition for the Oscars concerning special effects TF movie no more alone.

I just don't want imagine David hasselhoff in a remake of Baywatch named Baywolf where the chiks are in fact werewolves (that is what the name baywolf make me think but I found in the net that there is a restaurant in oakland with that name). And Hasselhoff couldn't play a simple stone in Beowulf :D;)

He was okay in Knight Rider/K-2000.

This movie looks actually pretty wicked. The graphics look amazing, i had trouble spotting it wasn't real at first.

Yeah same thing for me and the first time i saw the preview I'd never note that it was an animation movie. We need more movie like that, withe the 3D option too.

Looks interesting though from what I've seen I have a feeling its too much style and not enough substance.

HAHA!!:D

Whenever I hear Beowolf, I always think of that 80's show Airwolf. I never watched it but the ads just didn't do it for me.
