Outlander, a simple film for a simple time. Your classic mysterious stranger comes to save the day movie. Classic if that stranger is a spaceman and the people needing saving are vikings from an alien monster. Going into this film I could help thinking of Pathfinder(a viking/indian film) which was horrible and Outlander easily surpassed Pathfinder in likability. As I watched the film I did think "why are they doing this?" and "that wouldn't happen" but I did still have fun with it. It has some over the top action and a telegraphed story, nothing ever really surprises you because you have seen the story with different characters and places in many other movies. But a sci-fi viking film is a first for me and that was appreciated, Jim Caviezel was a solid choice as hero spaceman looking to make amends for past mistakes. A pleasant diversion if you got nothing to do but don't go out of your way for it.
Outlander was awesome and this review stinks because it doesn't acknowledge that. Would you rather have people go see Hellboy 2 or something? This movie rapes Mad Men for dinner and asks for seconds.

ReplyDeleteAwesome? I didn't know you felt that way about the movie. But what about that picture I made? Now that is awesome! I would prefer if Hellboy 2 had been aborted. And I will pretend I didn't hear you say what you said about Mad Men.
