Beowulf Dvd Action Movie 

 

 

 

Beowulf is a 2007 American computer-animated fantasy action film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary, and based on the Old English epic poem of the same name. Featuring the voices of Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, John Malkovich, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman and Angelina Jolie, the film sees the rise and fall of a warrior, Beowulf, after he travels to Denmark to kill a monster. Produced by Shangri-La Entertainment and Zemeckis' ImageMovers, it features characters animated using motion-capture animation, which was previously used in ImageMovers' The Polar Express (2004) and Monster House (2006).

 

Beowulf premiered at Westwood, Los Angeles on November 5, 2007 and was released theatrically in the United States on November 16, 2007, by Paramount Pictures, with Warner Bros. Pictures handling international distribution. The film received moderately positive reviews from critics, who complimented the CGI visual-effects, performance-capture, and voice acting, whilst criticizing aspects of the interpretation of the poem. The film underperformed at the box office, having earned only $196.4 million on a $150 million production budget 

 

 

In 507, the legendary Geatish warrior Beowulf travels to Denmark with his band of soldiers, including his best friend, Wiglaf. They meet King Hrothgar, who needs a hero to slay Grendel, a hideously malformed troll-like creature with appalling strength and cunning, who attacked and killed many of Hrothgar's warriors during a celebration in the mead hall Heorot. Upon arriving, Beowulf becomes attracted to Hrothgar's wife, Queen Wealtheow, who reciprocates his interest.
