2008’s Outlander is the best b-movie featuring Vikings fighting aliens I’ve seen. It’s a bit silly, as the concept would suggest, but it’s cliché filled plot and characterisations are relatively fun. Jim Caviezel is an outsider who stumbles across a Viking village (after crashing his spaceship) and initially strikes up a rivalry with Jack Huston’s alpha-male Viking - which ultimately becomes a friendship - as they battle an alien that had followed Caviezel there.

I felt like I’d seen it all before, and knew exactly where it was going, but as 2 hours of dumb entertainment it was perfectly sufficient. I’m now looking forward to seeing how Daniel Craig fares in the similarly themed Cowboys & Aliens.
