Beowulf Imax 3D

Last weekend matrushkaka and I saw the new CGI "Beowulf". Short version: not without its flaws, but I thought it was a pretty good movie and I think you should go see it this weekend.

I don't know how to quantify the difference, but I know that the TDs are very proud of their reprojection tools.

If ever there was a movie that should have shot 2 cameras to get stereo,
Nightmare is it. They had the damn dimensional puppets! I went to see
Nightmare in 3D at the El Capitan, and liked it a lot. There was some
additional oddity in that it was stop motion, (without Go-Motion, or whatever
ILM called the 'move the armature during the frame-by-frame stopmotion
photography' that was used IIRC in Dragonslayer) and Jack's arms and legs
are so damn thin. The strobiness was probably the culprit there, but the
stereo looked off because of it. My kids thought there wasn't much 3D
in the show despite it being pervasive, because they didn't overdo it.
Kudos for that.
