Diagonaldi Very well executed

Steineded How sad is this?

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

timmurphy-2 I echo the sentiments of other reviewers. Solid cast, classic story space, aliens, and Vikings...all based on the literary classic Beowulf. Worth the rental if you're into solid sci-fi. The special effects are excellent and the monster quite scary. The guy who decided to assemble all of these facets into one story is a creative genius in my opinion.

Spikeopath During the reign of the Vikings, a man from another planet crash lands on Earth and unfortunately brings with him a giant alien beast known as the Moorwen. Not only that, but once assimilating himself with this particular Viking faction, he finds that he is now part of a war they are engaged in with another Viking race.Yep, it's predator in the Viking age, berserker sci-fi played purely for entertainment and cheese sandwiches. Jesus Jimmy Caviezel brings the broody macho posturing, John Hurt the ham, while Ron Perlman picks up an easy pay check for growling a lot. It's still a lot of fun, though, the mixture of TV movie type production values mixing with a cheeky idea that sees the creation of a genuinely cool monster (effects not half bad at all). Good genre action for the undemanding genre faithful. 6/10

SnoopyStyle Kainan (Jim Caviezel) is an alien who crash lands on Earth bringing with him an animal called Moorwen of immense power. He must convince the local Vikings led by King Hrothgar (John Hurt) to join him to battle the creature. Love interest is played by Sophia Myles.There is some good action, and a good premise for sci-fi historical drama. It starts off relatively well. There is good action and good drama. The monster is revealed a little too early. They could have saved it for some place more powerful.Then there is the middle where the tension is almost all drained away. Kainan knows the creature is still out there, but he barely protests as the Vikings parties. It makes little sense. And Jim Caviezel isn't able to maintain any suspense there. It reveals one thing during the feast, but it's hardly worth the time wasted. I rather have more hunting action.The final hunt is a little muddled and too extended. After the big battle, it feels too repetitive. It seems anti-climatic to have the best action happen so much earlier. And the final blow isn't quite so great. I would have expected something more head chopping.

socceralex16 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.
