How many dimensions does it take to tell a 1,000-year-old monster epic? Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf will slice through three, thanks to innovations in digital 3-D. The analog 3-D of old couldn't perfectly sync two images, disorienting moviegoers. Digital's precision has done away with the herky-jerkiness and heightened the feeling of being right there at the tip of Beowulf's blade.
