Beowulf and 3D

One weekend, I and my father went to visit my brother. We went to see Beowulf. My brother took us to a big movie theater. After paying for the movie, we were standing in line waiting for a pair of 3D glasses. When we entered in to watch the movie, there was a giant screen. It was the biggest screen I had ever seen. If we had sat in the front row in front of the screen, our necks would have been tired from looking up. Right before the movie got started, we were showed the loud speakers behind the screen, we were told a little bit about the 3D glasses, and what to expect. I thought to myself, “Uh oh.”

When the movie started, we put on our 3D glasses. It seemed all too real! Things appeared to be flying out of the screen at me! I couldn’t sit still with all of the loud screaming noise coming out of the speakers. The characters looked like wild barbarians having a party and shouting and eating and drinking. When the film showed a close up of the character faces, the characters appeared to be too close to my face. The excitement was just too much, and I couldn’t keep my 3D glasses on the whole time.

I was in a land of ancient times, and they had finally got to the part in showing Beowulf. He had to fight a big, ugly, and loud monster. His sudden shout that I wasn’t expecting scared me so bad that I jumped. My father laughed at me, but I wasn’t laughing. He usually falls to sleep on movies, but not Beowulf. My brother was just lost in the movie so calm. I don’t think he noticed me jumping. Beowulf was bouncing around naked and all over the place. I’m glad that I didn’t exist in those ancient times.

The 3D effects were sometimes disgusting. There was blood and mucous. The sharp spears and swords made me feel like I was about to get hit when there was a battle.
The characters looked like real people and sometimes looked like 3D characters. The technology for this movie was something else.

When Beowulf comes out on DVD, I hope that they will include a pair of 3D glasses. All of you that have not seen the movie can then see all of the things I saw. It was an adventure.
