That means that maybe I will too.Michael Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514945570212261283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-31171163451045770712009-02-02T14:36:00.000-06:002009-02-02T14:36:00.000-06:00Luckily, I live in an area that DID get limited sh...Luckily, I live in an area that DID get limited showings of Outlander (two within spitting distance, as a matter of fact). I say "luckily" because I really enjoyed the film, reviews be damned. And so did everyone in my particular showing (although there were only five or six others...on opening night). It was silly enough to be fun, and earnest enough to be badass. So the "dragon" effects were a little bush league...but so what? The heart of the film was the age old tale of a spaceman visiting Vikings, and that's what made the ticket price worthwhile. Well, that and Ron Perlman. It was an old-school action film. Part Predator, part Pathfinder. Even my lady friend enjoyed it. If the premise interests you, the film delivers on its promise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
