The film has some wonderfully imaginative sequences, good special effects, but the mixing of sci-fi and vikings is a disaster. The score is a bit overdone. Midway through the film falls apart by becoming much more conventional. An interesting premise gone awry.

We had never heard of this movie and I'm not sure what the critics are talking about. We just watched it. It was a great sci-fi action movie. We would definately watch it again.

Enjoyable, if you don't take it too serious. i think iti could have done far better with more cash.

If you like fantasy styled films, this is about as good as it gets these days. Worth the watch.

Surprisingly good. Despite what critics have said, good performances by the actors involved - with surprise appearances by John Hurt and Ron Perlman of "Hellboy" fame. An especially good performance by Sophia Myles, who really gets into her character. The sort of movie that SciFi/fantasy fanboys will really get into. I very much enjoyed it.

Definitely better than the critics who blasted it. The second half is not upper crust cinema, but it is very entertaining, has a fun plot, good mix of action and at least some character development. Good action film.

I really wanted to like this movie. I mean Vikings and Aliens and Alien monsters, what more could you want, right? But it was mediocre at best. I just lacked in the effects and script. More appropriate for the SciFi Channel and their B movie repertoire. Maybe it's a B+ movie...but still in the B movie sphere.

This is a traditional sci-fi monster movie that does exactly what it's supposed to do: build a sense a dread, have the monster jump out of the dark and lay waste all around, and after nearly dying himself let the hero slay the beast and win the maiden. It's Beowulf with aliens.

It's not the best alien movie out there, but if u like the genre, you'll be entertained. You'll like it, not love it.

Why has no one mentioned the blatantly obvious Beowulf plotline? The original, not the Jolie crapfest. Its a great take on the ancient story, presenting a semi-plausible method to bring Beowulf's monster to life.

I really enjoyed this movie. Not perfect, but such an interesting story and the viking characters were all great. I really loved it.

Forget the critics. Great movie. Worth a watch. Interesting take on the 'monster' having a background.

Watch it. You'll like it. I haven't seen a fantasy/sci-fi flick like this since the good ol' before cgi back in the day movies. The genre is stuck being manipulated by Sci-fi Channel n' created into b-rated original made for tv movies. This one takes the freakin' cake. It's been a long time coming. If you hate lord of the Rings because of it's "boringness." This movie will brighten u up!… Expand

Very nice movie indeed. The 13th Warrior meets Predator. What else do you need for a good action flick? :)

The costumes were lame and un-authentic, and all of Patrick Tatopolous' monster designs look exactly the same. Otherwise, it was a good and fun romp, better than expected.

I had not heard about this movie prior to seeing it so I did have low expectations. However I thought it was really good. I mean its not a sophisticated drama, its a sci-fi fantasy action movie so don't expect anything else. One of the best things is the decent level of authenticity in the costumes and characters. There isent any juiced up bodybuilders on the cast which just makes it more believable.… Expand

Ah Robert Ebert, if ever there was a man who has not got a clue it is this man. Robert you have no talent and I wonder how many years it has been since you actually went to see a film. Anyway Outlander, is a sci fi version of Beowulf. The creature effects are courtesy of the great Pat Tatopoulus and the Morwin is brilliant, innovative and superbly done. John Hurt, Jim Cazievel, Sophie Myles and Ron Perlman are all in gine form. This independent film deserves success and is a wonderful example of creativity. More please.… Expand

Ignore ALL the critics who hate this film. The people who came up with this film had a perfect use of their thinking, intelligence and brainstorming to make this film. What is the monster, where it came from, and other details. This sci-fi creature feature that takes place in the Viking's time had made me like this film. A lot.
