Very Cool!!!
hyped garbage
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
First and for most I - I'm amazed at how well they work together. An amazing journey, truly one of the best TV series to watch.Outlander is truly worthy of running like Law and Order.Love this series, I can't wait for the next season and beyond.....
This is not to be confused with the TV series, but is an excellent SciFi film. The entire movie is formulaic and we know what's going to happen right up to the end, but since it's well-scripted, that doesn't matter. At first, Jim Cavaziel looks a bit out of place at first but the audience, as well as he, settles into the part. The scenery is beautiful. One can almost feel the clean, crisp air coming from that snow-capped mountain. The sets and costumes authentic-looking (except for all those shaven heads.) All in all, this is a very good movie, well-acted, authentically costumed. Too bad a couple of the clichés couldn't have been ignored, which might have called for a sequel. It's also too bad it didn't get a wider distribution in theaters.
Well, I don't know if it can be called a "sci-fi" movie. You have at most 5 minutes of science fiction in the almost two hours that I lost by watching this movie. Also, it is not that exact historic if I put it that way. I'm not sure if these filmmakers know how real vikings looked like ? To recap, real vikings lived in Scandinavia, in subarctic climate (where it's damn cold). This movie shows us vikings in an unrealistic environment with volcanoes and lava, in an almost Mediterranean environment. The vikings walk with short sleeves, look like Americans, behave like Americans and have almost nothing in common with vikings, except few viking shields and a viking village. Come on, the filmmakers could do better than that. At least some effort would make the movie much more realistic. And I haven't seen one viking that is naturally blond or at least to look like one. Most of them have brown or black hair with some hair parts that are colored to blond. I mean everybody knows that the Scandinavian people are blond with pale skin (due to low levels of Melanin because they are not exposed to sun). It's because they live in winter lands :) Except these simple geographic and scientific facts that have nothing to do with this (not science, but more of a fiction) movie, it also lack creativity. It's full of plot holes. The story is undeveloped, so at least to say, and it has no twist at all. Action scenes have not much creativity in it and the whole idea of the movie ends where it has started: at the beginning. I won't recommend it to anyone.
I am not sure how so many reviewers claim this is a good movie, could be the usual promoters trying to sell it. Basically everything about this movie is stupid. The plot is silly, the characters are not likable, and the action is OK. The special effects are blah at best, and the acting isn't engaging. A spaceship crashes in a lake and the only thing he salvaged is scrap metal? Our main character is so sad of losing his wife and child that he engages with the main female character immediately? Got over his wife real fast. No reason is ever explained as to why our main character never tells the others enough to really help them defeat this creature either. And the party scene, wow. Might be helpful to warn everybody of the impending threat when you know its coming right? Ya you don't need details, because you don't need to see this movie. So many better options than this.
