    i dunno man, it looks pretty cool to me. Not something you see every day... final fantasy did it, but they didn't model real actors' faces in cgi. i think it'll be bitchin'.

    As for making it full CGI based off of peoples' faces...what's the point?

    I guess because it's just differen - kinda like 300 was different in the stylistic way it was made. Seems like it would be kind of a waste of time, but i'm pretty stoked to see it...

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    it's not completely a CGI movie... it's all live action with CGI "enhancements".

    how is it close enough? CGI and Live action are different... it's basically the same style as 300, except they are going a little further with the CGI part. Beowulf is basically using the same technology as the Polar Express movie.

    One of the only two books I've ever actually ripped up and thrown away in class.

    Incidentally the other one was about existentialism, too.

    Oh, and 300's stylization kicked ass and didn't have CGI characters. It just seems like a waste of money and talent. But I'll still see the movie.

    300 was practically completely filmed in front of a Green screen... how can you say it wasn't CGI?

    taken from IMDb:

    "According to the writers Gaiman and Avary, the reasons of making the movie entirely CG are:

    - the aging of the main character (covering 50 years of his life);

    - the creative freedom which the process gives, keeping the cost the same per minute, no matter of the content;

    - the movie is designed to be seen in 3D (IMAX or Real D)."

    Everything is "motion captured" but it's still going along the basis that The Polar Express took, which was all live action with "CG enhanced imagery". During a Comic-con interview after the movie was unvieled, the director stated that it was not a CGI movie, but a movie with CGI enhancements. If I can find that clip I'll post up.

    Notice I say "enhancements" though. That pretty much means that most of it will be live action, but as you said, it gives the freedom of manipulating age and time. So most of the movie will be live action (same as 300) but when they need to they can manipulate the characters the way they need to to fit the story. It's still considered a live action film, same as every other movie using the same technology.

    All i'm saying is you can really tell from the trailer that the way they use CG in the movie is a far cry from what most people are used to seeing.

    Very true. I doubt we'll see another movie like this one using this technology any time soon. It is a good example of what movies and directors might use later on. I'm still going to see it. The movie looks bad ass.

    i enjoyed it, but it left the story too open for a movie that won't make enough for a sequel...i mean in the book doesn't his friend kill "angelina" at the end? nothing happened there..
