Jim Caviezel is a humanoid alien who joins forces with Vikings to battle an alien creature that crash lands on Earth in Outlander, the latest sci-fi action pic to flip historical accuracy the bird.

I'll be honest, before watching the trailer for this film, I had pretty much ignored all information regarding it. With it following so closely in the footsteps of Pathfinder, my instinctual reaction was to simply write it off as another stupid "Viking" film, which is definitely not a genre I'm interested in.

So imagine my surprise when I unenthusiastically pressed play on this trailer only to discover, "Oh, holy fuckballs, this has aliens in it." It's a combination so spectacularly stupid, it's practically genius. And yes, I know that doesn't make sense, but fuck you, this movie has Vikings and aliens in it; it doesn't have to make sense. Just sit back and enjoy the B-movie glory.
