When in fact, the "dragon" he is referring to, is a monster from another planet, now hunting the viking populace and fauna of the land. They think Kainen is responsible for brutally ransacking a nearby village, and when Kainen tells them he is hunting for a "dragon", he is labeled as a liar and enemy. Wulfric Jack Huston and brought back to his village. "Outlander" delivers an excellent sci-fi action-adventure - something we don't see too often these days! I would play the movie again just to watch them once more.The movie could use some faster pace at times and I find it slightly longer than it should have been, but by no means boring or trying. The Moorwen planet war scene is truly great and the only thing I regret is that they were not longer - I can enjoy out-of-this-world landscapes anytime! The CGI was impressive. I'd say there is some Godzilla-nuance to the Moorwen, but the luminous abilities of the creature were something new and exciting.The production design, the sets and the costumes were also very good, but what really impressed me were the flashback sequences of Kainan's life before falling down to Earth. The Moorwen is designed by Patrick Tatopolous and if you're familiar with his work you can sense his style in it. In the supporting cast we have John Hurt and Ron Perlman they've collaborated before on the Hellboy movies. I loved Sophia Myles in "Tristan & Isolde" and I was pleased to watch her again, this time as a bold Viking princess. The rest of the cast does a good job as well. Jim Caviezel is an excellent choice for a tragic hero haunted by his past - a true Beowulf from outer space. I approached it with no great expectations and I found myself pleasantly surprised! The movie is in fact very entertaining and involving.

The idea that a pack of vikings and a spaceman battle an alien beast was exciting enough to make me interested and willing to see the movie. He couldn't protect his beloved wife and son from the very same creature.The story is simple and yet gripping.


But Kainen is hunted not only by a monster, but by guilt and memories as well. Together they have to face the alien beast Moorwen and find a way to destroy it. and some interest from the King's daughter Freya Sophia Myles. Brought with him from outer space.Proving himself in battle Kainan gains the trust of the vikings and gets himself some trusty friends.
