The plot is **** insane. It looks like something out of a bad fan fiction story, and it doesn't help that any of the people involved seem to believe it enough to make audiences do the same.

Like one glass of coke and the second glass of 1/4 coke and the rest with water and some food color and some bad sugar. What i think they did wrong is they should have a more quality stable than stretch it out with clips no one cares or likes. I would like 1 hour movie with interesting content and story beginning to end, than 2 hour movie that is very washed out that is very bad and boring.

I give it a weak genuine point of 6/10

It did look good. The monster looked amazing. Although it did remind me a lot of the monster out of The Relic (1997). The sound was fine. I can't really remember it that much so it must have been a little bland. There were pacing issues. ItIt did look good. The monster looked amazing. Although it did remind me a lot of the monster out of The Relic (1997). The sound was fine. I can't really remember it that much so it must have been a little bland. There were pacing issues. It was a bit boring with the Viking thing and much pointless talking and Viking fighting. The action was exciting enough. There were some cool scenes but ultimately very forgettable except for the pretty cool monster. Go watch The Relic (1997) instead; it's basically the same thing but much better. Expand

The film has some wonderfully imaginative sequences, good special effects, but the mixing of sci-fi and vikings is a disaster. The score is a bit overdone. Midway through the film falls apart by becoming much more conventional.

Midway through the film falls apart by becoming much more conventional. An interesting premise gone awry. Expand

I really wanted to like this movie. I mean Vikings and Aliens and Alien monsters, what more could you want, right? But it was mediocre at best. I just lacked in the effects and script. More appropriate for the SciFi Channel and their B movie I really wanted to like this movie. I mean Vikings and Aliens and Alien monsters, what more could you want, right? But it was mediocre at best. I just lacked in the effects and script. More appropriate for the SciFi Channel and their B movie repertoire. Maybe it's a B+ movie...but still in the B movie sphere.

An anomalous adventure, two parts Beowulf and one part Dragonslayer - maybe a bit of Predator, too. Outlander is an average action flick hiding some interesting, sometimes beautiful vignettes. Sadly, our only glimpses of these are shownAn anomalous adventure, two parts Beowulf and one part Dragonslayer - maybe a bit of Predator, too. Outlander is an average action flick hiding some interesting, sometimes beautiful vignettes. Sadly, our only glimpses of these are shown through a dream-haze or verbal exposition. The Viking part is not done terribly well, and Jack Huston sounds way too much of a luvvie to be taken seriously as a Norse warrior. The "shields" sequence is ridiculous, as are countless scenes that seem to have little purpose other than to try and look "cool". Kudos to the writers/director however, for creating a sympathetic figure out of a beastie. Expand
