Simply Millennial

 I just came back from seeing Beowulf in 3D and was totally blown away!  At first I sort of felt silly sitting in the theater eating popcorn while wearing my goofy 3D glasses. But as soon as we were told to put them on, the glasses immersed me into movie magic. I’ve never seen 3D quite like this before – I really thought I was in the movie. I love these epic treats, full of their fantasy and heroism themes. The storytelling is brilliant, the animation is unbelievable, and the action was gripping.  I think I jumped out of my seat 3-4 times from genuine shock or surprise. The only real complaint I have is that the acting is a little too cheesy at times.  (And Angelina Jolie certainly does not have THAT much meat on her hips.) I wouldn’t take anyone under the age of 16 to see it either-one of the opening fight scenes made me cringe. But overall, this movie is nothing but pure entertainment. You don’t have to think when you watch it, and you’ll experience loads of sugary eye candy. 

I give it 4 out of 5 popcorn tubs!
