That was an excellent one.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
I watched this because of Jim Caveisel, I've been a fan of his since "The Passion of the Christ" which shut his career down for years, but not for good! He actually gets to talk more than usuall in "Person of Interest" which is a really good series, prophetic really. This movie was pretty good, not as great as I'd hoped, but definately worth watching. I reccomend it, there's only 1 curse word in the whole movie! Enjoy...
This film has EVERYTHING! It's genius and the writer is a genius for managing to take every good thing possible that makes a film interesting and then stitch all those elements together without making a mess of it.It's enthralling from the first scene to the last. It may have a few flaws that other reviewers have picked on, but I was too dazzled by what I was seeing to notice any holes. It really is a visual feast and the acting is terrific too, plus there are real relationships/bonds created between the characters, meaning that it's not just all superficial action without any substance or reason.Added to the solidity of the whole thing and its knock-out concept we're also treated to first class SFX and a fantastic creature! There's nothing more that anyone could want who loves watching this type of genre. I'd recommend it to anyone and I could watch it over and over!
In terms of realism, it perhaps lacks something in the depictions of the Vikings, but come on, this is a science fiction actioner. And as such it works very well. The characters have dimensions to them, the plot is straightforward, and in terms of the big set pieces this is done very well indeed. Jim Caviezel is excellent as the "human alien" Kainan, whose space ship crashes in 709 AD Norway, and unleashes the monster, the Moorwen, who destroyed his own people. The gradual acceptance of Kainan into the vikings' group forms the emotional heart of the story as he comes to care for the people he's landed among. This isn't Shakespeare, and it is a great deal better than many bigger budget and more highly advertised films (Beowulf itself, for instance). It is well worth checking it out on DVD. A good evening's entertainment.
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.
