Genres: Science Fiction
Rating:
The epic eighth-century poem of Saxon lore gets moved into the Scandinavian future in this science fiction adaptation of Beowulf. Here, Beowulf (Christopher_Lambert) rescues a damsel in distress, Pendra (Patricia_Velasquez), who is being menaced by two men with large swords and bad tempers. Beowulf hears tell of Grendel, a force of evil that feasts on the flesh of warriors of Hrothgar (Oliver_Cotton), who are holding their ground in the Outpost. Before long, Beowulf finds himself doing battle with Hrothgar's daughter Kyra (Rhona_Mitra), Hrothgar's master of arms, Roland (Goetz_Otto) and even Grendel's mother (Layla_Roberts). Patricia_Velasquez appeared in Beowulf shortly before she filmed her showy turn in The_Mummy, while Layla_Roberts's resume includes an October 1997 appearance as Playboy's Playmate of the Month. Beowulf was completed and released in Europe before another version of the same story hit the screens, Disney's The_13th_Warrior (aka Eaters Of The Dead). Mark Deming, Rovi
