In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Beowulf (2007)
A fantasy directed by Robert Zemeckis.
A hero comes to a land that is cursed by a monster. He slays the monster and placates it's mother by giving her a golden mead-horn. He is then made king. One day, the horn is returned and he knows that the mother will return with it.
This is how to do CG fantasy right. They start with a good, old story and make the monsters impressive. Then they add sea monsters and a dragon. It can't go wrong. I'm rating it good.
