Just came from Cathay cinema to watch Beowulf in 4K digital. I’m not at all familiar with the epic poem or the previous movie version. So I came in with no expectations and though I wasn’t at awe when I left, I wasn’t disappointed either. I kinda felt like I just watched a fairy tale Disney movie except it’s a hundred times more violent and it has some nudity.

Watching it in 4K digital probably made the experience enjoyable because everything was oh so clear you’d probably see the goosebumps in Beowulf’s butt if you stared long enough. But I wonder if there are english subtitles for when Grendel or Grendel’s mother are talking. They have their own “demon” language that I obviously don’t understand, but there are equivalent chinese subtitles appearing at the bottom of the screen.
