Nordic Time-Warp


Just saw Outlander as my afternoon matinee.

Out of sheer greed,an intergalactic race seized upon a planet owned by ghastly giant bug-like creatures called the Moorwens. Unfortunately, they failed to kill all of them and one of these creatures stowed away on the protagonist's spaceship when it crashed into the Nordic Coast of Planet Earth.

How he came to be accepted by the Norse,fought alongside with them in their battles, married the King's daughter and finally became king is a short brief of the plot. Nothing really great about the movie except that it could have borrowed wholesale the monster in the Alien movie.

Quite predictable and lack thrills.

Stars: James Caviezel, Sophia Myles and Jack Huston. No great acting performances here.
