Gerry Barnaby's Film Review: Outlander

Genre: Action Adventure Sci-Fi , contains strong bloody violence & strong languge

Cert: 15 cert

Story: In 709 AD, in the Iron Age, a spacecraft crashes in the Viking kingdom of Heorot, Norway, and the pilot Kainan (Jim Caviezel) survives. He turns the beacon on; learns the language and culture of the planet using a machine; and finds that the predator, Moorwen, that he was transporting, had escaped. While chasing the alien monster, he finds a village completely destroyed and is arrested by the warrior Wulfric, believing that he killed the locals - Kainan is brought to Heorot as a prisoner. 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.

Likes :  this film was awesome,think of lord of the rings,beowulf & alien all rolled in to one film.jim caviezel play kainan a pilot from a distance planet who after having he whole family & base destroyed by an alien called a moorwen an alien predator that intelligent smart uses light to affect it prey,i love the fact that it in a time 709 ad viking iron age,it set the tone of a sci-fi action film,John Hurt plays as Hrothgar the viking leader of the clan who befriend kainan after discovering the truth of why he's there,the beautiful Sophia Myles plays Freya hrothgar daughter a very tough,handle her self charter she plays her but with a feminine side.Ron Perlman plays Gunnar the other leader of he's clan that was destroyed by this thing,Jack Huston plays Wulfric i found his charter to be very urgent & self centred dose thing is own way but it the wrong way.The special effect like the space science & the atmosphere of the film was just spot on,special the special with the moorwen it real dose look like something you don't want to mess with it show intelligence as well which is awesome because most alien film all you see is a mindless killing machine but with this alien you see an amazing intelligent for hunting & stalking it prey.i think jim caviezel would be a good choice for john shephard in the mass effect game if they ever made it in to a film.

Dislikes : nothing to say bad about this film because is was awesome

Overall :  If you like sci-fi, action , adventure,horror film this is one not to miss awesome all the way through with a back storyline.

Rating:  5 out of 5 stars for entertainment, 10 out of 10 for storyline & story theme
