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.
This is one of the worst action movies I have watched on the past five years. I care not to say the worst because there must be some other I&#39;m forgetting. I watched the movie based on the IMDb score, and also the proposal sounded interesting for an action movie. Sincerely disappointed. Bad acting all around. There&#39;s absolutely no depth to the characters. The film proposes this transparent &quot;translation&quot; of Norse to English, which was badly implemented,being that modern terms and slang English could be noticed. Vikings speaking modern U.S English. Also, the cultural Viking setting was very poorly implemented. It looks based on a very very shallow stereotype. The sound track was as if recorded from a strategy video game. Etc, etc, etc. Well, to say somethings good, the &quot;Outlander&quot; wasn&#39;t so incredibly awful as the rest of the cast, and that were some nice special effects.<br/><br/>To wrap the whole thing: more than one and a half hours of corny story layout, bad acting, and a messy salad of clichês.
I rented this one and it languished on my Apple TV for two weeks before I decided to see if I would be very disappointed for a half-hearted Beowulf knockoff.<br/><br/>Surprise! No Beowulf. No Grendel. No Bad, cheesy FX.<br/><br/>Space Marine crashlands in 6th Century Norway and brings along with him a alien enemy that starts tearing havoc through the primitive viking people there.<br/><br/>The story is simple enough, but the execution is VERY GOOD. The lead character is solid, believable and likable. The Viking hold that takes him prisoner is actually pretty believable with a lot of nice historic touches (If you can excuse the British accents here and there). The angle about the Beast stirring up a feud between settlements makes a lot of sense. And they carried over the acceptance of the Space Marine (Outlander) into the clan in a manner that made social sense– at least as far as Sci-Fi films go)<br/><br/>The FX were very well done, especially the back story where you are filled in on how the Hero came to marooned on this planet– and the delving into remorse on the part of the spacers for what he did to the creature&#39;s homeland was an interesting sideline. . .it added character to the script.<br/><br/>The Monster. . .now the monster was GREAT. Menacing and Dangerous with excellent use of darkness and light to accentuate it&#39;s pure animal rage.<br/><br/>Like the Viking on the Stockade murmured in awe: &quot;Now that&#39;s no bear.&quot;<br/><br/>This one is a STRONG Monster Hunt flick that&#39;s well-done. Give this one a go for Saturday night.
Not helped by a wooden perf from Jim Caviezel as a humanoid alien who accidentally imports a real alien to eighth-century Earth.
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.
