Here there be dragons.

Greetings,

With time on my hands I thought I would watch a film :)

Today’s cinematic treat was Outlander. A predominantly bog-standard hero kills monster affair with the slightly strange twist that I was not really rooting for the hero…

Strip away the sci-fi and the Vikings and our hero can easily be compared to an officer in the SS, merrily following orders and attempting to wipe out an entire race. And wouldn’t you believe the one that got away decides to go on a killing spree against those that would destroy it. Twist this round a little and I could easily imagine the film from the monster’s point of view… “He stands alone, his race wiped from the planet, his family killed before his eyes… His only thoughts now are of Vengeance.

Still it was a mildly entertaining way of passing the time, so although I would not recommend going out of your way to watch this, if it is on and you have some beers and time to kill, by all means enjoy.
