Sci-Fi. Action. Adventure Year 709 A.C. During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan (Caviezel), a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking's Iron Age weaponry.

	Media	Author	Review
		Derek Elley Variety	"Script tries to build up a full range of heroic characters in conflict but is let down by workaday dialogue and direction that doesn’t conjure any special atmosphere"
		Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter	"It's entertaining nonsense with major league special effects, larger-than-life characters and inventive monsters that draw on the Aliens and Predator models"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Outlander' is interesting as a collision of genres: the monster movie meets the Viking saga. You have to give it credit for carrying that premise to its ultimate (if not logical) conclusion (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	" Pure gibberish (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Tasha Robinson AV Club	"'Outlander' is an odd mishmash of genres (...) But while the blend may not satisfy fans of pure action or pure drama, at least it gives them both a slightly new flavor to try."
