A fantastic movie based on the story of Kainan, who is coming from outer space, inspired a new fashion trend in Norvegian villages with his hair cut.

Does great work with a low budget and handily trounces many hollywood giants. Treads the line between fantasy and sci-fi and literally fuses the two into something greater. Absolutely deserves to become a cult classic.

The script is something a Trekkie at a Renaissance Fair might right, the production is something out of SyFy, and the effects were one step above a made-for-TV movie.

Nice story. But not one to remember well.

An epic, slightly-over-the-top, highly underrated medieval action film. I'd put it right about King Arthur. Which was a really great film!

There are failings but come on its about a spaceman chilling with vikings. The special effects are surprisingly rather awesome. Decent for what it is.

Takes itself far too seriously and wastes Ron Pearlman

It's hardly original (green blood?), but it's entertaining and the cast was actually really great; except for Caviezel, the lead, who was just alright. Would have been awesome without the flashbacks though... mysterious and dark, really upping the epicness of that ending.

A low budget predator ripoff with dragons...I wanted to hate this movie just cause it has Jim Caviezel..but I actually got into it...this was a fun low budget sci fi movie. The acting is not the best..what do you expect..but this movie has a good story and I like the premise and the flow of the movie..and I thought the dragon scenes were pretty cool...its a good little sci fi fun movie

This is like a high school drama where the rebel boy shows up and gets picked on, proves himself, and then becomes the new alpha male and gets the girl. Just throw in a generic monster, sci-fi back story, and vikings who squabble like teenagers and this is what you get. The CGI is laughable at times considering the 50 million dollar budget. It's not hard to see why this flopped hard and received no promotion. It would have done all right as made for TV but not as a feature film.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. My only complaint was that the CGI on the monster was a bit iffy, everything else was a lot of fun. A very original idea.

it had scope to be awesome, I mean, how cool does a film with spacecrafts, mosters and vikings sound? just a shame it turned out to be a load of old bollocks.

Mixes vikings, that jesus guy and a predator rip-off, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. An otherwise strictly by-the-numbers creature feature, complete with uninteresting characters and terrible CGI, is sought spiced up by John Hurt as a wise king, and a completely redundant "monsters have feelings too" sub-plot. The ending is particularly stupid - Search and Rescue down the drain - but essentially: This movie isn't even lifted by featuring Ron Perlman as a viking. You heard me.

ok... so... on all accounts this beowulf 2.0 shouldn't work. heck remember the godawful Chris Lambert version? But somehow the 13th Warrior meets Predator formula works. Possibly because the characters are fairly likable and the tone playful. One of the best Viking films i've seen... (not that there are many good ones out there)

It had some pretty rad special effects and I was actually impressed by the acting. It was a fun movie and one I wouldn't be ashamed to like. Not astounding but way better than the Thirteenth Warrior which had a very similer plotline.

Sometimes all you need is some vikings and a spaceman fighting a giant fucking alien, this is one of those times. Would've been nice to see more of Ron Perlman though.

One step above a low budget SyFy Channel produced film.

I was really expecting a horrendous film. Refreshingly funny and entertaining, despite what sounds like the worst movie idea ever.

taking space travel and an alien, putting them on earth in the middle ages, and essentially stripping all sci-fi elements from the movie is like going to a bar just to eat the peanuts--doesn't really make sense. it's surprisingly well done, should be considering a budget bordering on 50 mil. overall this is a pretty decent movie with wasted genre elements, and potential squandered more liberally than my voting habits.

Nothing new at all, but solid and quite well made. More Ron Pearlman and a less funky creature design would have been preferable.

A neat idea for a film, but nothing is done right except perhaps the sets and costumes. The plot is full of action movie cliches. Ron Perlman doesn't get a bigger role. The movie gets way too predictable during the climax. So disappointed in what I was hoping was going to be a great and original sci-fi/fantasy.

"A sci-fi action period piece with generous doses of horror, romance, picturesque scenery, second-hand costumes, and cliche as far as the eye can see. Interested yet?"

A hybrid of Army of Darkness and the Thirteenth Warrior, Outlander seems too good to be a direct to DVD release but not good enough to be a cult classic. The acting, special effects and script are all up to par but nothing stands out. Still a definite recommendation for anyone looking for a Viking fix after the Abysmal "Pathfinder".

Fun, if a little predictable. Exciting, if a little ridiculous.

All the formal expectations followed step by step. Completely unoriginal and unejoyable.

outrageously awesome, vikings vs aliens but don't give up on this little guy. It's part love story, part adventure, part action, part gore fest. It unbelievably continues to just get more awesome as the movie progresses and it's lengthy too. What are you waiting for?

I expected few hours of pure awesomeness but the film disappointed me with too much drama and talk instead of action. After all it's a very decent adventure.

"A film version of fish and chips - humble, honest fare that's ludicrous, inventive, gory within limits, and has a cast having so much fun it's hard not to be swept along with them. And besides, you can't have nouvelle cuisine every night of the week."

It's a film about a spaceman who crashes on Earth and battles a massive alien monster with other vikings. Now while you may think that this is simply a sure-fire recipe for complete garbage but it's actually not that bad. James Caviezel is a pretty decent lead, John Hurt is good and so is Ron Perlman (for all 5 or so of his lines). Yeah some of the movie is retarded (the viking racing on shields) but this movie is far, far better than it should've been considering it's subject matter.
