Outlander

So take Beowulf, add a dash of Transformers and a sprinkle of Braveheart and throw them all in a blender with Predator. That's Outlander. It's basically a riff on the Norse epic, where Grendel is a wild ball of claw-y, tentacle-y vicious alien death that has crash-landed in 8th century Norway, Beowulf is the revenge-obsessed space marine (played by Jesus) on its trail, and Hrothgar is John Hurt.

And it's a bit like Snakes on a Plane, too: you either go 'what, no, get the fuck away from me', or you go 'LOL AWESOME'.

As of yesterday evening, you may count me firmly in the latter category.

LOL AWESOME.
