Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

opticgaming-50281 When i watched this movie the plot and at the start of the movie i got interested as the story went on, but after seeing the hole movie i felt that the sent all budget, effort and time on the first half of movie and the second half not so good, the second half felt like a washed out cheep version of the hole movie and that left me with a bad after taste. Like one glass of coke and the second glass of 1/4 coke and the rest with water and some food color and some bad sugar. What i think they did wrong is they should have a more quality stable than stretch it out with clips no one cares or likes. I would like 1 hour movie with interesting content and story beginning to end, than 2 hour movie that is very washed out that is very bad and boring.I give it a weak genuine point of 6/10

tvsweeney-39052 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.

NateWatchesCoolMovies "Beowulf meets Predator" boasts the enthusiastic critic blurb on the poster of one of my favourite sci fi genre benders, Outlander. It's pure outlandish fun, and better yet it knows it is and therefore doesn't feel any need to spend a bunch of time on grasping exposition to convince you of any shred of authenticity. It simply hums along on a pure rush of unchecked adventure, always aiming to please and for the very most part, doing so wonderfully. Jim Caviesel stars, and he's an unassuming Ken doll of an actor who has more intensity than anyone gives him credit for, which always makes me spring to attention when he's in the driver's seat. Here he plays Kainen, a voyager from a far away galaxy who has crash landed his spacecraft on earth way back in the time of the Vikings, stranded and in need of refuge. Only problem is, he's been on the run for some time from a large, hideous and very dangerous creature from his home planet called Moorwen. Moorwen has a very personal and deadly vendetta against Kainen, one which threatens the Viking tribe who give him shelter, led by noble king Hrothgar (John Hurt). Kainen comes from a planet with technology and civilization far advanced from Earth at that time, which makes him a hit with the tribesmen and even more so with Hrothgar's daughter (Sophia Myles). Moorwen threatens their way of life in its rampage against Kainen, causing tragic collateral damage to a rival clan led by Gunnar (Ron Perlman makes heartbreaking and stone tough work of what is essentially an extended cameo). It's an awesome movie no matter what anyone says. Any film about an astronaut from a far off galaxy who bands together with friggin vikings to battle a fluorescent space dragon is just automatically a winner. In all seriousness though, this one really is something special,and almost seems like a Dennis Quaid vehicle if it were made in the 80's. Fun, thrilling and never too serious, it knows it's place and owns the genre shelf it sits on.

jameschastain47 Loved this movie in a general way. But somehow the editing seemed flawed. So much was left unsaid or untold. I keep feeling like there is a better (possibly a directors cut) that leaves in more of the details and parts that would have fleshed out the whole story in a more exciting way. Somehow the Advanced culture tech seemed to have been cut short and left me guessing and wondering about what was going on before he arrived on Earth. The historical aspects of life in a viking village were as authentic as one might hope for. Seems that was the best imagining of viking village life since "13th Warrior". Some of the older movies, Like "The Vikings" with I think Kirk Douglas did the typical Hollywood thing and made up the actual anthropological descriptions to suit the times the film was filmed in. But Outlander managed so very well in the description of life in the times department. I really love the movie! Hated the missing parts feeling.
