So, what would happen if you get together Jesus, Hellboy and Bunch of Vikings and put them against Grand Alien Evil.

You get Outlander

For what it is, it looks Great. Violent Viking action, decent effects and cast, and Alien Creatures.

I am Excited !!!

Looks exactly like Pathfinder.

If the critter's cool, I'll see it. Third week.

[Despair]

Yeah, Pathfinder did turned out far from good. Still, here is hoping.

I didn't know I wanted to see a movie about vikings fighting aliens until I saw that trailer. Looks like good fun.

Also, the music in the trailer sounds familar...

[cka]

I'll see it on dvd

as far as viking aliens go, the only ones in my life are the asgard from stargate sg-1

[Jetman]

Poor, James Caviezel , from Passion of Christ to this.

Ah, well, looks fun - is it supposed to be direct to video or what?

[Despair]

Theatircal, this fall.

[cka]

which, judging by the trailer, means on dvd a month later

[Despair]

I don't mind seeing it on big screen. Looks decent enough.

Moriarty on Outlander

Turns out there's an interesting subtext the trailer doesn't do a good job of conveying. Hint: the chief Viking's name is Rothgar.

And then there’s the underlying “big idea” of the film, which snuck up on me, and which I have to say I really, really dig. Basically, this is BEOWULF. You can draw a pretty direct connection between the characters in both stories. I mean, like I pointed out above... King Rothgar should be the give-away. But the idea seems to be that this is the “true story” of what happened, and the story BEOWULF is the way it was told over time by people who didn’t know how to describe aliens or space monsters. It’s a subtle thing, and no one in the film ever comes out and says, “And then one day, this story was written down and called BEOWULF!”, but if you’re at all familiar with that story, you’ll recognize it here.
