Outlander 2008

What happen, when you combain "The 13th worrier" and "The matrix"? The result is- Outlander.
Maybe, because of the viking set, but the movie looks so much as "The 13th worrier". You have vikings, you have a mistical monsters (in "The 13th worrier it was the "the wendol" and in Outlander is "Moorwen") and the lead hero in Outlander looks so much as Antonio Banderas in "The 13th worrier". The only thing is that, I like more "The 13th worrier". It was more antentic and had more atmosphere. It make me feel really, like I am in Norway or the Finlands. In Outlander, it has some nice decores, but it look, like made in a hollywood studio.

The other part, in Outlander, is the taken ideas from the Matrix. The movie begin how our hero crush on the planet Earth and to find where he is, he use his computer.
After he find out, that he lends in viking times, he start a program, to learn all the facts, about this era and language. And Bam! After 3 seconds of memorising, he knows evrything. Just like in "The Matrix", where Trinity learn how to fly a helicopter, in a matter of seconds. Let's don't forget, again the resemblance with "the 13th worrier". In the 13th worrier, our hero had also the problem with language. But how he learn it? On the old school way- by listening to others and try to figure out, what they say.
I will remember that, because I was watching the 13 worrier with my parents, and they were facinated with that method and it was really cool, to watch how he just sits and listen to them, and after a time, he can clearly answer to them that his mother has not a whore. That's the way of learning! With hard work, not like in the Outlander, where just in seconds, the hero knows evrything.
What about the monster in Outlander? It look just like a the octopodes in the Matrix. Almost one to one. I prefer the vendols in the 13 worrier. They were much cooler and scary, then a "I seen this creature before" in the Outlander movie.

So in the end, I will say, if you want to watch a viking atmosphere movie, go see "The 13th worrier" with Antonio Panderas and forget about the viking-matrix mix, that is the Outlander.
