If you're looking for a mix of action/adventure/scifi/fantasy, look no further. Whoop scratch that, you can find much better. But if you've seen a ton of films, then there's really no harm. But honestly, Outlander is as average as it gets.
The movie is about Caviziel aka Outlander, crash-landing on Earth. To be more precise, Norway 790 AD. The era of Viking power. I love Viking stuff, they're pretty much the epitome of manliness. F@ck the pirates, the ninjas and all those wimps. Brute strength and beards is where it's at. Anyways, he crashes with a blood-thirsty creature on board, and now it's loose. Now it's up to him and the Viking people to stop it.
I really didn't expect much going into Outlander besides some cool special effects and some nice cinematography. Well, Caviziel's a good actor so I was hoping he'd be good as well. All of that was fine. The creature was cool looking, the shots were stylish, and Jesus Boy did an alright job. But boy-howdy is this flick cheesy. Holy crap. The writing and characters in this film are seriously laugh worthy. Watch it with a friend and just sit back and make fun. During the film my brother and I were shouting out things like, "I am Sh!t-Beard.", "Outlander? More like the Pedophiler.", and just simply screaming "Outlander". Trust me on this one, this is one movie NOT to take seriously. The emotional scenes are sooo laughable. The lines are predictable, the characters silly, the action too dark....but the movie was still kinda fun.
It's rare when you get a big-budget flick action flick like this and it turns out to be a cheeseball. It's pretty startling some people actually fell for the emotion, but if you've got any of your wits about you, your first reaction will be a smile. Sit back, get a funny friend, maybe some brews, enjoy the action, and laugh at everything else. Oh, Ron Perlman was in it too, and played a pretty sweet part as a huge viking!
