I saw this years ago and picked it up on Blu-Ray in the bargain bin. I wasn't disappointed to revisit such an interesting take on the Sci-fi Beowulf "genre". Yes, there is more than on film that fits this category.
Jim Caviezel, Sophia Myles, John Hurt, Ron Perlman. Other cast also did a good job.
The story is decent. The CG is fine and even good much of the time. The performances are, as expected, what sell this gem of a movie.
The blu-ray transfer is good as well. Buy it. You will want to see it more than once.

Movie of a human-like alien Space movie, comes to Earth tracking a dangerous space creature that killed his family. He has to fight the odds, being in old Viking times without a weapon that can kill the creature! The space alien is a favorite actor Jim Caviezel.

This movie is often described as Beowulf meets Predator. The basic premises offer fertile grounds for multiple movies:
- An alien ship lands in our earth's past
- The ship contains both good and evil
- The alien good element must collaborate with earthlings to defeat the alien evil.
The story is gripping, albeit a little too bloody for my PG-13 preference. But it's the Viking setting that makes the film stand out from the crowd. Caviezel's performance is outstanding, as one would expect from an actor who in an earlier movie did an excellent portrayal of a much greater hero, the God-Man.

This is a good sci-fi movie with a fine cast and story. It keeps the viewer engaged and has good action scenes. With monsters, Vikings, and aliens the filmmakers cover a lot of audience interest.
I recommend the film.

What if there was really an alternate reality, separated by time in seconds or hundreds of years, and all you had todo is find some standing stones and travel back and forth from one to the other, wouldn’t this be thoroughly fascinating? Diana Gabbaldon, has found our weakness for good stories and drama and has taken us for a long, long ride in to the past with romantic fare. Good stories and well acted.

love the premise of the movie. A space warrior crash lands on earth and becomes a viking. He defeats an enemy also from the future that was stow away on his ship. Using tools that the vikings used. Movie has some great action scenes.

During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan, a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the 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 hard movie to put in a particular genre. Monster movie versus Viking saga, with space traveler thrown in. Interesting movie. Good special effects and the price was definitely right.

Person of Interest" goes Galactic. . . sort of. Well, the same actor. Good character development here and hope for humanity.
Not a kids movie but plenty of action without being over blown.

Liking "space" and "medieval" made for a good combination. I don't watch TV and apparently there was a spinoff or two. Anyway, the movie exceeded my expectations.

A twist on Beowulf, with some predator sci-fi elements and a Guillermo del Toro feel. It's so worth watching alongside 13th warrior on a Saturday afternoon.

One of the best syfi movies of 2008. To bad I could not find this on blu-ray with digital down load. I would have paid the regular price if needed. Added this to my DVD library.

My husband has never been able to find this movie so the hunt was on for his birthday. I was excited I found three of his gifts at online store. He has only seen this movie 2 times. So now he can watch it whenever.

By no means a classic - but eminently re-watchable nonetheless. (And that's a key criteria for buying any title.) Good fun.
