2/5
"As clunky and ineffective as an iron-age weapon on an alien predator's hide, this retro-SF rationalisation of Beowulf could have done with less sword and more pen."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
1.5/5
"awash in inexplicable incompleteness... uninvolving and inert"
Filmcritic.com
Bill Gibron
3/4
"
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."
Sci-Fi Movie Page
Brian Orndorf
2.5/4
"...ultimately establishes itself as a fun little endeavor that boasts as irresistible a premise as one could possibly imagine."
Reel Film Reviews

"For a movie about aliens and Vikings,
Outlander
turns out to be awfully rough going."

"Surely they mean
Outlandish
...ready-made for a late-night slot on the Sci-Fi channel."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3.5/4
"This is honestly better than all the big Hollywood blockbusters that have been released so far this summer."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
C+
"...like "Reign of Fire" crossed with "Beowulf" spiced with a dash of "Alien."...destined for a cult audience."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2/4
"Becomes dismayingly conventional."

Michael Dequina
4/5
"Its blend of crappy special effects, cheesy acting and straight-faced silliness is enough to provide viewers with a taste for camp trash with a couple of hours of cheerfully ridiculous mind-rot."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
3/5
"A sci-fi action period piece with generous doses of horror, romance, picturesque scenery, second-hand costumes, and cliche as far as the eye can see. Interested yet?"
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
C
"... a skimpy script with unimaginative characters, mundane dialogue and routine plot twists."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
5/10
"It's much too serious to succeed at the gaudy spectacle its concept promises."
