Beowulf and Grendel - Trailer

Beowulf and Grendel is an impressive, thoughtful, sweeping adventure, full of unexpected humor and a cautionary message on the destructive nature of Fear. The stunning images of a primal Icelandic panorama will linger in your visual memory; the fierce and all too ever-present connundrum of War and annihilation will demand your attention long after the closing credits; and the possibility of quintessential Hero, admirably portrayed with raw energy and complex candor by Gerard Butler, will capture your heart. See it. Rent it. Own it.

I've traveled twice to Canada and once to Seattle to see this movie, and it only improves with each viewing. Beautiful cinematography and score combined with terrific acting and a clever take on this ancient story makes for a special movie viewing experience. I've never read so many books and looked up the history and mythology of the period as for this movie. Andrew Berzins is indeed another story teller sharing his version of the tale, much as Thorkel does in the movie. I feel fortunate to be among the few to see this on the big screen, but the DVD with surround sound is just as awesome!
