During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan, a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking's Iron Age weaponry.
In 709 AD, in the Iron Age, a spacecraft crashes in the Viking kingdom of Herot, Norway, and the pilot Kainan survives. He turns the beacon on; learns the language and culture of the planet using a machine; and finds that the predator, Moorwen, that he was transporting, had escaped. While chasing the alien monster, he finds a village completely destroyed and is arrested by the warrior Wulfric, believing that he killed the locals - Kainan is brought to Herot as a prisoner.
Norway 709. In the middle of a Viking war a space traveler crashes to earth bringing with him a dragon like beast that likes to kill and destroy. This is a good action film that the Weinstein organization seemed to dump into theaters as an after thought. I don't remember the film ever playing around New York, though it may have played in the city. Better than its one sentence description makes it out to be, this is a rip roaring action film that is really good once it gets going. Slow to start, the film actually takes time to set out characters and situations so that you actually care what happens about them when their lives are put into danger. The violence is bloody and graphic (though I really wish they had not used computers to put the gore effects in since it never fully looks real.) Once the film got going I found that I actually liked the film a great deal. Granted its not perfect, there are bits of illogic and some silliness, but quibbling about the small bits when I was happily accepting the central premise of aliens running around the frozen north seemed rather pointless. Worth a bowl of popcorn and soda.
Watch the 13th Warrior, Predator or any incarnation of Beowulf…same thing….Hopefully that won&#39;t be too much of a spoiler; and what&#39;s with this spoiler thing anyway….if its out on DVD, its spoiled……..over used storyline, horrible FX, action is too fast to get a proper visual, the monster, really, really is amateurish and awful.<br/><br/>SPOILER: The notion of the space man crash landing seemed novel but on the opening sequence, reminiscent of Predator, I saw that this was about to be a copy cat of &quot;I need to act to pay my bills&quot; proportions: trying to save the frenetic pace with decent actors, like Hurt and Perlman will only take you so far.<br/><br/>I&#39;m glad I didn&#39;t buy 80 dollar popcorn and see this at the theatre. I think many would agree with me, including Blockbuster, since there was only about 4 copies of it in store.
If only Outlander was as fun as the premise makes it sound on paper.
Outlander was first conceived by director Howard McCain as similar, but not based on, the classic Old English epic poem Beowulf but with Viking overtones. When McCain later joined with Hollywood screenwriter Dirk Blackman to produce the screenplay, Blackman added science fiction elements to the story by changing the main characters into aliens. In an interview with Sci Fi Wire, principal actor <a href="/name/nm0001029/">Jim Caviezel</a> described Outlander as &quot;kind of like <a href="/title/tt0112573/">Braveheart (1995)</a> (1995) and <a href="/title/tt0091203/">Highlander (1986)</a> (1986) combined.&quot; The movie states that the story takes place in 709 A.D. Norway, although it actually was shot around Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Laborador in Canada. The language he speaks at the start is Old Norse, the precurser from which modern Scandinavian languages such as Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish originated. The actors were coached in Old Norse/Icelandic by an Icelandic professor. Yes. The Department of English at McMaster University, (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) has placed the text to Beowulf online here. The choice of reading it in old English or translated into modern English is facilitated.
