Outlander

[Furtherman]

I can't imagine this being a great film, but I'll give it points for something that hasn't been done before, at least that I can remember.

Aliens and Vikings.

Do movies made in England use actors with American accents to signify archaic, non-english language?

Yes and that annoys the shit out of me.

This movie looks promising, can't wait!

Looks like Viking films are become quite the sub-genre last we had Native Americans VS. Vikings with the awful Pathfinder. Next up Aliens VS. Vikings but what I really think would suck would be Nija's VS.Vikings

What about Ninja Nazis... wait for it... from the future?

Ninja Nazis from the future would most likely be robotic. Therefore, Robot Ninja Nazis would be.... *gasp*.... unstoppable.

First Clip Of Viking-Alien Showdown (http://io9.com/5095416/first-clip-of-viking+alien-showdown)

The Viking-monster death-match movie Outlander is opening in Spain next week, so a bunch of clips have turned up online. Sadly, they're all in Spanish. But at least this clip, featuring our first look at the Outlander monster, the Moorwen, is mostly in the sweet language of flaming arrows, Viking spears, and deadly alien tails. Sadly, still no U.S. release date for this movie.

At last the epic about a bunch of Vikings who fight a giant alien monster is set to arrive on Jan. 23 - or so Box Office Mojo promises. On the official Outlander blog, the creators write (a bit bitterly):

It seems that the Weinsteins have shoved the film off into their Third Rail releasing distribution arm where they send all the movies they don't care about. This isn't entirely surprising and fits comfortably with the Weinstein's reputation for being dismissive of genre films. For example they released Diary of the Dead under this label into a whole of 42 theaters...

While we don't have any details yet on how many theaters or where you will be able to see the film in the US, it's still fantastic that at least some of you will get to experience the film the way it was meant to be. And it also means it's one step closer for the rest of everyone else to get a chance.

The low-budget film has already made several million dollars in Europe, so it's doing pretty well for a film with no publicity and a lot of people in horned helmets meeting aliens. The concept is so cheesy/awesome, and the monsters in the clips we've seen look so cool, that I think Outlander is guaranteed to be a good time.

Some reviews. (http://outlanderthemovie.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/reviews-2/)

Looks like a fun movie, but I'll have to wait for the DVD. Alas.

[Furtherman]

Out today on DVD.

I must buy this for my boyfriend.

I saw it not too long ago and it wasn't bad. It was a fun little flick.

Of course it was predictable and essentially a high quality B-movie, but it was enjoyable. You just had to suspend disbelief and look at it as "fun time."

Yea... the first 1/2 hr was awesome and then it got... silly, a little cheesy, with a few cool scenes thrown in.... damn... I was expecting a cool sci-fi flick but it ended up on par with Terminator Salvation.
