Outlander - Movie Review and Synopsis

During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan (Caviezel), 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.

Howard McCain’s oft-delayed creature feature is the victim of another barely there release from the Weinstein Company, a movie studio that, despite Vicky Cristina Barcelona’s Golden Globe win, is becoming known more for distributing movies that Harvey W. doesn’t believe in. Or perhaps he just likes antagonizing fanboys. This isn’t the last you’ll hear from McCain, though, since he’s one of the writers on Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and his name just might end up on the eventual Conan project, too. With the barbarian in mind: If Outlander had been made in the early 80s, it would probably be a cult favorite today.

Rated R for violence.
