I was satisfied with this performance-capture animated version of the Beowulf epic. It doesn’t have much to do with the original Anglo-Saxon epic, but mythology is, by its very nature, open to any mutation the re-teller cares to make. Who the hell knows what transformations the story experienced before our “literary” version appeared? No one objected when Allan Gardner turned the story on its head in his novel “Grendel”. This animated version is an even greater departure, but it held my attention and was visually pleasing.
