Vikings vs. Aliens: Let The Oscar Buzz Begin
I don’t know about you, but I adore a good awful movie. What constitutes a good awful movie, you ask? A ridiculous plot with awful dialogue, blended with fantastic special effects. Please see 10,000 BC (Egyptians enslave cavemen and mammoths to build pyramids?), The Day After Tomorrow (closing that library door really saved them?), and Starship Troopers (BUGS!) for examples.
Welcome Outlander to the mix. Starring everyone’s favorite Jesus, James Caviezel, the film… well… here’s a plot description for you from the producers…
Outlander begins when a space craft crashes into the majestic fjords of ancient Norway and into the time of the Vikings. From the wreckage emerge two bitter enemies: a soldier from another world – Kainan – and a bloodthirsty creature known as the Moorwen. Man and monster both seeking revenge for violence committed against them. As the Moorwen ravages the Viking world, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an unlikely alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Combining his advanced technology with ancient Iron Age weapons, the hero leads a desperate attempt to kill the monster - before it destroys them all.
… that’s right. Vikings vs. Aliens. I seriously cannot wait for this movie. And it actually has a decent supporting cast, with Ron Perlman (yes!) and John Hurt backing it up.
