Outlander (2008)
7/10

Warning: Spoilers
Creative story line for a science fiction movie by combining the future and the past. There is a believable element in the opening scenes after the crash landing. The Outlander is obviously distressed and disoriented in a land that is far back in time. Loss of his weapon engages him at a physical level only with his captors, man to man. The Viking side of the story line has plenty of characters, fighting, and village details. But the village sets are only barely constructed. This is surprising given that most of the movie takes place with the Vikings. The flash backs to the future world have much more elaborate sets (well designed and complete).

But overall this is an interesting and engaging movie. The characters are interesting, the story line progresses fairly quickly with quirks and turns, and the effects with the dragon are decent.
