Beowulf

Point I Fell Asleep: 0:30 out of 1:54 (26%) and then again at 0:50
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0442933/

So this was the movie I wanted to watch yesterday. Hmmm where to even begin... so this movie was all computer generated... similar to Shrek but a little more lifelike and without the humor. I thought it was pretty interesting at first, but sure enough, with all the battling and bass sounds, I soon found myself passed out. I woke up 5 minutes later, rewinded the movie, watched another 20 minutes, and then passed out once more. That's when I decided to take a break. It wasn't that the movie was horrible. It just got slow at times. Plus, Anthony Hopkins will literally put you to sleep. Homeboy needs to stick with the cannibalistic villains. Anyway, the only reason that you should watch this is to see the CG version of Angelina Jolie walking around naked. Now I know what I can look forward to when virtual reality goes mainstream in 2020. The movie itself is barely worth a rental though; you've been warned. And hey, at least it was more enjoyable than the 2005 version.
