| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 18, 2011

A film version of fish and chips - humble, honest fare that's ludicrous, inventive, gory within limits, and has a cast having so much fun it's hard not to be swept along with them. And besides, you can't have nouvelle cuisine every night of the week.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2009

Sadly, the kooky premise of Outlander solidifies quickly into formula: monster is fought, fair maiden won, kingship gained and past errors redeemed with no real surprises along the way.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 24, 2009

We are now deep, deep, deep into nerd territory, so deep you will get a nosebleed in your diving suit.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 24, 2009

As the ginger offspring of a Ridley Scott/Peter Jackson gangbang, Outlander is a wannabe B movie classic that's so shit, it's just... shit!

Full Review | Apr 24, 2009

Howard McCain's film comes perilously close to being risible at times, but it is never dull.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2009

Do you need to be told it's preposterous? Probably not. But you may be pleasantly surprised to hear it's also quite enjoyable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2009

To nobody's surprise, it's a rubbish but loveably camp shambles.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 24, 2009

An unexpectedly enjoyable science-fiction adventure that should be generating louder fanboy buzz than it has so far.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jan 23, 2009

Outlander is a cheesy, low-budget, space alien Viking monster movie. And seemingly proud of it.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 23, 2009

In its second half, Outlander falls apart completely, becoming nothing but a violent, mindless monster movie along the lines of Alien vs. Predator.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 23, 2009

In Outlander, the nuttiest hunk of junk in many months, Viking warriors and a stoic intergalactic traveler join forces to combat an enormous beetle with whiplash stingers.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 23, 2009

By taking nonsense seriously Outlander never achieves camp. It's a comic book that's mistaken itself for scripture.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 22, 2009

You can think about Outlander 16 different ways, and still arrive at the same conclusion: It just doesn't work.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 22, 2009

An odd mishmash of genres with too much message and musing to be propulsive, and too much cornball monster movie to take seriously. But while the blend may not satisfy fans of pure action or pure drama, at least it gives them both a new flavor to try.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 22, 2009

An enjoyably goofy hybrid of extraterrestrial sci-fi and Iron Age action.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 22, 2009

I am tempted to describe the plot of Outlander as preposterous, but a movie about an alien spaceship crashing into a Viking fjord during the Iron Age is likely to be preposterous.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 22, 2009
