a5c7b9f00b In 709 AD, in the Iron Age, a spacecraft crashes in the Viking kingdom of Herot, Norway, and the pilot Kainan survives. He turns the beacon on; learns the language and culture of the planet using a machine; and finds that the predator, Moorwen, that he was transporting, had escaped. While chasing the alien monster, he finds a village completely destroyed and is arrested by the warrior Wulfric, believing that he killed the locals - Kainan is brought to Herota prisoner.
During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan, a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator knownthe Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking's Iron Age weaponry.
"Outlander" is a great surprise by director Howard McCain - honestly never heard of him before, but I'll be keeping an eye on his work from now on! The movie opens with a spaceship crashing down on Earth, Norway 700 AD. The only surviour from the crew, Kainan (James Caviezel), is soon captured by vikings, who blame him for the slaughter in a nearby village. The outworlder claims he is not responsible and he has come to these lands hunting for dragons. The vikings don't trust a word… until their own village is attacked by a mysterious creature - something that Kainan brought with him from outer space…<br/><br/>Proving himself in battle Kainan gains the trust of the vikings and gets himself some trusty friends… and some interest from the King's daughter Freya (Sophia Myles). Together they have to face the alien beast Moorwen and find a way to destroy it. But Kainen is hunted not only by a monster, but by guilt and memorieswell. He couldn't protect his beloved wife and son from the very same creature.<br/><br/>The story is simple and yet gripping. The idea that a pack of vikings and a spaceman battle an alien beast was exciting enough to make me interested and willing to see the movie. I approached it with no great expectations and I found myself pleasantly surprised! The movie is in fact very entertaining and involving. Jim Caviezel is an excellent choice for a tragic hero haunted by his past - a true Beowulf from outer space. The rest of the cast does a good jobwell. I loved Sophia Myles in "Tristan & Isolde" and I was pleased to watch her again, this timea bold Viking princess. In the supporting cast we have John Hurt and Ron Perlman (they've collaborated before on the Hellboy movies).<br/><br/>The Moorwen is designed by Patrick Tatopolous and if you're familiar with his work you can sense his style in it. I'd say there is some Godzilla-nuance to the Moorwen, but the luminous abilities of the creature were something new and exciting.<br/><br/>The production design, the sets and the costumes were also very good, but what really impressed me were the flashback sequences of Kainan's life before falling down to Earth. The Moorwen planet war scene is truly great and the only thing I regret is that they were not longer - I can enjoy out-of-this-world landscapes anytime! The CGI was impressive. I would play the movie again just to watch them once more.<br/><br/>The movie could use some faster pace at times and I find it slightly longer than it should have been, but by no means boring or trying. "Outlander" delivers an excellent sci-fi action-adventure - something we don't see too often these days!
Here we have a film about two viking tribes going berserk in an ongoing clan-vendetta on the one hand. On the other hand, the plot throws in a huge alien monster, crash-landing on earth, followed by a human hunter (not from this earth) – in the form of James Caviezel – determined to kill off the giant booger. Call me whatever you want, but a film bonkers enough to mix these two elements, is bound to raise my interest. And I'm sure there's other people thinking exactly like me. As a bonus, we also get to see John Hurt and Ron Pearlman in this epic monster picture (sure, both perhaps slightly underused, but at least they're starring in something decent enough, so who cares?). "Outlander" is much closer to mindless popcorn entertainment than anything else, butfarmonster movies go, it delivers. What matters most in a film like this, are the special effects, and these are outstanding. Naturally, the monster is made mostly out of CGI, however, you can clearly see (especially near the end) the CGI regarding the creature was based on very detailed sculptures of the beast. It looks great, even changes color and above all, has some form of intelligence. Kainan (James Caviezel) his background story was even decent too. Him and the creature are here on earth for a reason, and the vikings are merely along for the ride. And their odds are not looking good. Further more, "Outlander" plays it straight-faced. No stupid attempts at humor were made, and this helps things a lot. In my humble opinion, "Outlander" easily surpasses other recent 'alien creatures running amok on earth' films like for example the two "Alien Vs. Predator" installments. When going into "Outlander", just switch off your brain, and have fun or allow yourself to be impressed. It's slick, solid & polished enough to be so.
By taking nonsense seriously Outlander never achieves camp. It's a comic book that's mistaken itself for scripture.
Outlander was first conceived by director Howard McCainsimilar, but not based on, the classic Old English epic poem Beowulf but with Viking overtones. When McCain later joined with Hollywood screenwriter Dirk Blackman to produce the screenplay, Blackman added science fiction elements to the story by changing the main characters into aliens. In an interview with Sci Fi Wire, principal actor <a href="/name/nm0001029/">Jim Caviezel</a> described Outlander"kind of like <a href="/title/tt0112573/">Braveheart (1995)</a> (1995) and <a href="/title/tt0091203/">Highlander (1986)</a> (1986) combined." The movie states that the story takes place in 709 A.D. Norway, although it actually was shot around Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Laborador in Canada. The language he speaks at the start is Old Norse, the precurser from which modern Scandinavian languages suchDanish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish originated. The actors were coached in Old Norse/Icelandic by an Icelandic professor. Yes. The Department of English at McMaster University, (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) has placed the text to Beowulf online here. The choice of reading it in old English or translated into modern English is facilitated.
