Shockingly good film about the Dark Ages in Europe when the old gods were being replaced by Christianity. It's an excellent drama with a well written story and good acting from all involved, especially the pair playing Embla (the titular White Viking) and the King of Norway. Not a ton of action, but still very interesting, and the sets and costumes are beautiful and authentic.
