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. Two alien life forms survive the crash: Kainan, and a monster known as "The Moorwen. The Moorwen looks like a giant, speedy, armored hippo-beetle with a toothy front end designed in the same forges of hell that produced the alien in " Alien. Kainan was returning from the Moorwen's home planet, which his race had terraformed, not quite wiping out all the Moorwens.

Kainan uses a handy device to pump the local Earth language Viking, spoken in English into his mind through his eyeball, and soon encounters the nearest Viking village. Having seen more than a few movies, we intuit that this village will contain a venerable king Rothgar, played by John Hurt , his bodacious daughter Freya, played by Sophia Myles , a jealous young warrior Wulfric, played by Jack Huston and a menacing dissident Gunnar, played by Ron Perlman. There are also numerous villagers who stand around in the background looking intensely interested. The village is suspicious of this strange "outlander. After he saves Rothgar from the Moorwen, he wins royal favor and organizes the village in a plan to lure the beast into a deep pit with stakes at the bottom and burn it alive.
