    A beautiful looking movie, with some striking images, and a pretty good man with one as nature vibe going. Unfortunately, this runs out of steam before it is over, and the metal soundtrack was really odd.

    I admit it, I rented this movie mainly due to the soundtrack. Although there isn't much Metal going on throughout the movie, the ambient score worked very well. Aside from the headbanging during a chapter introduction and some modern slang used in the subtitles, this movie show...( read more)s the gritty survivalist nature of two vikings scouring the "new" land in hopes of finding a way back to their clan. It's not for everybody, duh. If you get bored easily or can't handle chickens being beheaded and disemboweled, fish being hunted and cooked, or a young Jerry Cantrell look-alike taking a very real shit in the woods then this is definitely not the movie for you. If, however, you want to learn a little bit about supposed viking history or if you want to see what you can accomplish with a digital camcorder, some costumes, and a weekend in the woods, this is absolutely a movie you must see.... well, rent. I can't really fathom many people owning this when one rental is really all you'll ever need.

    Earth. Air. Fire. Water.

    The best portrayal of Vikings in a movie that I have ever seen! The garb was completely accurate. Their attitude, life-style, beliefs, struggle with Christianity and themselves, brutal strength and will of the people... lodging and environment... it wa...( read more)s all perfect. Blackmetal was a brilliant accompaniment, bleak and obscure; relaying the peaceful solitude of nature, mysticism, and torment... It was a serene and beautiful work of art. Nature was not only the backdrop; but the core of the work. A word of warning: the film is more like a glimpse of the past, documentary-like but not narrated... it allows you to watch them find and kill their food, defecate, create life, love, and unforgiving death. Not for someone with a weak stomach.

    A simple film, the photography is mesmerizing at times, as well as irritating occasionally. Good performances, but not much acting is needed. It has a realistic feel to it and an effective score.

    Seems they got the helmets accurate, no horns despite what most people think symbolise the vikings.
