Profile of Outlander

The mood of Outlander is rough, exciting, and atmospheric. The plot centers around an alien encounter, deadly creatures, and rivalry. It is a sci-fi and action movie. Stylistically, Outlander is epic. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The pacing is fast. Outlander is set in Norway. It happens in ancient times. Visually, it involves special effects. Outlander is especially suggested for a boys' night. Note that it includes violent content.

Summary of Outlander

Science fiction, fantasy, and Viking adventure clash in this film starring James Caviezel and Sophia Myles. In eighth-century Norway, the Vikings are at war, but a strange craft from space arrives with Kainan (James Caviezel) on board. But he is not alone: along for the ride is his mortal enemy, a monster called the Moorwen. Soon, the Moorwen begins attacking the Vikings, and they unite with Kainan to take down their mutual foe. Fans of genre fare will be pleased to see Caviezel’s co-stars, HELLBOY's Ron Perlman and John Hurt.

Variety

Not helped by a wooden perf from Jim Caviezel as a humanoid alien who accidentally imports a real alien to eighth-century Earth. Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter

It's entertaining nonsense with major league special effects, larger-than-life characters and inventive monsters that draw on the "Aliens" and "Predator" models, being terrifying but also vaguely sympathetic. Full Review

Two-1/2 Stars. This film reminded me another film called The 13th Warrior. That said, it was better than it should be, but not as good as it could be. Read and rate it

This turned out to be fairly smart hybrid of sci-fi and sword-and-sorcery adventure, as most of the other reviews attest. I thought it still might end up being a stinker, since many times people sing high praises for films like this and I end up... Read and rate it
