As Kainan is holding on to the edge of the waterfall edge, he stares right at the Moorwen eye to eye before taking his sword and hacking the beasts arm off .
The Moorwen falls to her death in an epic glory of dropping into the waterfall.
Kainan and Freya go back to a dying Wulfrin who is happy to be king for a day, and passes the title and medallion to Kainan before the curtain of death dropped.
Kainan and Freya climb the ledge of land they were on to the top and spot the rest of the Vikings and hails them.
Kainan than tells Freya he must do something, to which Freya suspects he will be leaving them. Kainan returns to the crash site of his vessel and bids farewell to his dead wife…
…and goes to where the homing beacon is located and awaits the rescue ship with a spying Freya looking on.
Kainan, having doubts about being rescued and returning to his past life as a soldier, decides it is better for him to live amongst the Vikings, and proceeds to destroy the homing beacon.
In the end, Kainan becomes King of the Heorot Village, adopts one of the orphan children, marries Freya, and Rothgar and Wulfric are given a Viking funeral. All the while, Freya is narrating what is transpiring as if Kainan was one of the gods himself not knowing better Kainan is a space traveler, and acknowledging the secret that he is a god sent from the heavens.
Ironically, the dragons head of the ship looks like the head of the Moorwen that tried to kill all of them.
The movie ends with Kainan looking into the skies as a final farewell to his space traveling ways.
The End
This movie is extremely Metal, considering the pace, the storyline, the atmosphere, and the actors, this is a film that had a wealth of potential that unfortunately could not be realized due to Hollywood’s typical behavior of releasing shit films instead of quality movies.
The company that distributed this movie, Weinstein Films, released the awful World War II flick Inglorious Bastards (Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein!) with a media blitz of aggressive proportions, but yet for Outlander they just gave up on the flick before it even had a chance to hit the theaters. To prove how bad the film did in the theaters, on the opening weekend it earned $59,581 (No, I did not leave “0’s” out, it literally did under 60 grand.) and earned worldwide a little over $6,000,000, with a budget of $47,000,000 to make the movie.
One of the many elements I liked about this movie was the shade of gray the characters had. For example, Kainan being a soldier who regrets the slaughtering of the Moorwen species for the purpose of his peoples land expansion, but yet resorting to doing the same course of action to save another group of people (And possibly even the planet.) from the Moorwen. There was Freya who as hot as she looked, could probably slam a guy through a table by either out drinking them or putting them through the table literally. Than you had the Moorwen itself who was just a unfortunate victim and survivor of a genocide that resorts to slaughtering for the right and wrong reasons, but seems to know what it was doing. Another element I enjoyed is the way how Kainan choose his words to describe everything to the Vikings without even dropping a hint that he is not from earth, with Freya narrating in the end still believing he is a great man sent from the heavens. Maybe Freya wasn’t that off the mark?6?6?6?
This film has a quality to the storyline I have not seen considering it was released in 2009 in the middle of the shitstorm known as modern Hollywood film making. Of the 99.334% of films made in the last 20 years, only 0.666% are either good or excellent, with the rest being total utter shit and Outlander is definitely in the top of that very short list of good and excellent films.
Also, if this film would have been better promoted and had better distribution in theaters, there probably would have been action figures released as well, and let me tell you, those toys would be featured in Channel 13 (\m/) in their Metal glory, I mean, who wouldn’t want a Moorwen action figure or the killer sword in plastic/Nerf material.
A film about Vikings encountering a spaceman and a dragon alien definitely stacks up as very Metal, and this film pulled it off excellently. Definite 2 \m/ Horns \m/ up for Outlander!6!6!6!
