Vikings, swords and aliens... Outlander!

Outlander movie posterWhat must be included in a movie? Guns, cars and girls? No? What about spaceships and aliens? Better? Lets include some vikings with their swords and you got Outlander.
I recently saw it as part of the Fantasy Filmfest in Nuremberg. How was it? So so... The story strongly remind me of The 13th Warrior. But this time the bad guy was a pretty cool looking alien. That beast ripped some vikings not that gingerly.
What else? 3rd person view of the "beast" while it is walking at the ceilling? Sounds familiar? An orphaned little child becomes the friend of the "stranger"... There were a lot of things which remind me of other films. But the pictures, the landscape and - of curse - the beast looked pretty good and unique.

So an A for the look and action - the story is ok... at most. That combination sounds good for you? Go ahead! You won't be dissapointed!

Eliot is back!

Yes I'm back in the blogging business! The football season is over and this means time to focus on all the things which make you stick to the armchair: Movies!
This point in time is good to start again: Nuremberg hosts the 22. Fantasy Filmfest this weekend! I'm going to watch several movies together with my buddy Bald Guy. So stay tuned. I'll keep you informed!
