drewbearSo these ads for Beowulf...
Do they scream "horrible flop of a tragedy" to anyone else or is it just me?
When they're advertising it as "the latest evolution of 3D" instead of, you know, anything of real value? I consider that a bad sign. Especially since, with all that supposedly spectacular new technology, the CGI effects in the ads are still so godawful bad compared to the true cutting edge stuff that my eyes are stuck in a permanent spin cycle.
A single example: bubbles are not perfectly spherical, nor are they the size of marbles and just as unyielding.
Or, to put it another way, based solely on their ads (since I haven't seen either), the SciFi Channel made-for-tv-movie Grendel looked better.
Yeah.
