Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet: Correct time period?!

I haven't seen this movie version of Hamlet yet, but from
previews and movie stills I have noticed that the costumes
worn in this version do not look quite right. I do not
profess to be an expert on period dress, so I am not quite
sure. I know that there are other Shakespearean film
adaptations which were put into different time periods
(e.g. Romeo & Juliet, Richard III)--is this one of them?
Or did Kenneth Branagh stay faithful to the true time
period of Hamlet?
