“Outlander” Review

Outlander: Directed by Howard McCain. With Jim Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, John Hurt. During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan, a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking’s Iron Age weaponry.

I think I watched this all the way back when it originally came out in 2008, I remembered a couple of the big set pieces, but I completely forgot how trippy and psychedelic the alien dudes were. The story is pretty bland, the acting is pretty ok, and the special effects waiver from middling to great from scene to scene. There’s a couple scenes that last entirely way too long for little pay off, I’m specifically thinking of a shield jumping challenge, but for the most part this is a fun way to spend a Wednesday night.
