A mead hall party feels like a Iron Age version of "Cheers," right down to the "Norm!" greeting for one character. It's one of many leaden diversions from what should be a lean, economical, brutal B-movie of aliens, Vikings and alternate timelines.

This is honestly better than all the big Hollywood blockbusters that have been released so far this summer.

...ultimately establishes itself as a fun little endeavor that boasts as irresistible a premise as one could possibly imagine.

Outlander is a fluid genre exercise that satisfies cravings for action and Norse mythology in one fell swoop. It's a full-bodied adventure movie that's responsive and reverential to the needs of sci-fi escapism.

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

Beowulf with aliens and lots of gore, violence.

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.

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

Vikings vs. aliens -- Outlander is probably the best possible version of whatever movie you've already made in your head from reading those first three words.

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

There isn't a single scene in this story about a traveler from another planet who crash-lands on Earth during the Iron Age that doesn't remind you of another, better movie.

Daft, obvious but hugely enjoyable, 'Outlander' is superior trash.
