Outlander 2008 (second notes)

-is that viking sword or sci-fi sword?

On second review, Outlander is not neither sci-fi or viking movie. It's not even a good mix.
It seems that it has taken parts from several movies, even a game (the metal costume of the hero and the sci-fi atmosphere, even the alient is looking like a Zerg, are so familiar with the game Starcraft, that you can't denied)
The plot is plain, not a whole story, you get confuse at a time, are you watching a sci-fi movie with a viking elements, or a viking movie with some sci-fi elements, or what Are you watching at all?!
You are watching Outlander. A attempt to bring two different genres at one movie. Can you imagine, The 13th worrier and the Alien in one movie? I can't at this moment and Outlander didn't make me believe, that is possible.
Even, with a high budget, 55 Millions, I don't think that it will have a major success. With a bad promotion and not so good made idea, I don't think that Outlander will be remembered or have impact in the movie history. But hey..you can expect a sequal (hope Not). Won't that be great!

P.S: The resemblings with the "The 13th worrier" are so much, now that I watch more close, the movie. The creature in Outlander, in the end, is hiding in a cave, just like in the 13th worrier, then the group escape thrue water and in the final scene, they burn a ship, with a burning arrows. Guess what? Just like in "The 13th worrier"! I think that, the director of Outlader have to be a big fan, of 13th worrier, or he just think, that he can take parts of The 13th worrier and easily can mix them with sci-fi, from The Matrix, Alien and Scarcraft. Well..No. He can't and the movie prove it.
From scale 1 to 10, I give 4 to Outlander.
