About this movie

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 (James Caviezel) 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.

I enjoyed this movie. It's not cheesey like Beowulf, but there are some similar aspects, only this time it's a warrior from a technically advanced planet and 7th century Vikings battling a creature he accidentally brought with him. Very good cast with a unique plot 😊

Completely surprised me. Expected cheese, ended up with a steak. The actors didn't overplay their roles, plenty of action, and halfway decent special effects.

It's a pretty solid 80s-style sci fi action retelling of Beowulf. If that sounds good to you, you'll love it. If that sounds bad to you, then watch something else.
