Outlander

Here is a movie that went all over the web except here, thanks to me being too busy to write about it. Better late than never!

Outlander, directed by Howard McCain

* James Caviezel as Kainan
* Sophia Myles as Freya
* Jack Huston as Wulfric
* Ron Perlman as Gunnar
* John Hurt as Rothgar

“Outlander begins when a space craft crashes into the majestic fjords of ancient Norway and into the time of the Vikings. From the wreckage emerge two bitter enemies: a soldier from another world – Kainan – and a bloodthirsty creature known as the Moorwen. Man and monster both seeking revenge for violence committed against them. As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an unlikely alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the monster – before it destroys them all.”

Vikings vs monsters from space, what is not to like? And joined by Space Jesus who hunts the monster as well. This film looks like it will be a lot of fun, and that’s just what these movies should be: fun. We don’t need people talking for an hour before fighting the monster, we need constant monster fights, vikings chopping things, and fun fun fun. Hopefully, Outlander will live up to the hype it has generated online.

The film has already opened in Latvia, the home of movies about vikings fighting alien monsters.
