Review & Description
It s Beowulf vs. The Predator when a spacecraft crashes into Viking-era Norway, bringing with it two bitter enemies, a futuristic warrior and a bloodthirsty creature bent on destroying everything in its path.Outlander is an outrageous, genre-bending, comic book movie starring Jim Caviezel as Kainan, an extraterrestrial who crashes on Earth amidst Vikings during the Iron Age. Mistaken for a member of an enemy tribe, Kainan is captured by a king, Rothgar (John Hurt), and the man next in line to be king, Wulfric (Jack Huston). But they soon realize that Kainan is a brave warrior and make him an honorary member of their people, little realizing Kainan has accidentally brought with him, from across the stars, a monster that is decimating the local Viking population. If that story sounds complex enough, co-director and co-writer Howard McCain (working with Dirk Blackman) offer another twist that makes it impossible not to sympathize with Kainan's monster. Pulled in different directions, a viewer can't find a way into this overly complicated tale. By the time an over-the-top climax hits the screen, it's easy to get bored. Still, there are some admirable elements, especially a cast including Sophia Myles as a spunky princess and Ron Perlman as a rival Viking king one wouldn't want to mess with. --Tom Keogh Read more
