Beowulf: Was going to see this or Legend, but the former was already out of theatres. My brother said he'd seen it in the IMAX and that sounds like a great plan. Must save up to do so.
and the faces and some textures still look far too blank and lifeless
That's my major problem with CG and company. J is certain this is the way of the future and we won't need live action anymore, but until they can truly "capture" emotion, I don't believe it. Even with live action/blue screen, there's a break between the actors trying to relate to something that's not actually there. Only a really good actor could potentially pull it off, but until I see one that can make me cry the way Claudia Black and Lani Tupu did in that Aeryn/Pilot reconciliation scene in Farscape, I'm fighting the power.
I am Legend: What you said.
he's very human, and it helps that the actor has loads of charisma.
I think he's a fantastic actor but get annoyed when he gets too Fresh Prince. I think he managed to keep that toned down fairly well in this film and was very pleased with scenes like Sam's death, saying hello to the mannequin, and dealing with meeting the woman and kid.
but I found the scientist struggling with his sanity and loneliness while still trying to find a cure under siege a great angle
I loved that!
I haven't seen either of the two previous movies, but I think I will have to pick up the book as well.
Enchanted: Haven't seen it, but the preview is on Ivy's Jungle Boox DVD, which played every morning for 2 weeks. Even those short clips were inspiring. Looking forward to it.
