MPAA RATING: R for violence
Starring James Caviezel, John Hurt, Ron Perlman, and Sophia Myles
Outlander begins when a space craft crashes into the majestic fjords of ancient Norway and into the time of the Vikings. From the wreckage emerge two bitter enemies: a soldier from another world – Kainan – and a bloodthirsty creature known as the Moorwen. Man and monster both seeking revenge for violence committed against them. As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an unlikely alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the monster - before it destroys them all. (The Weinstein Company)

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

Enjoyable, if you don't take it too serious. i think iti could have done far better with more cash.
Julie T gave it a7:
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.
Roger S. gave it a7:
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.
