It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Admittedly, this was an impulse buy for me, a case of nice cover, I'll risk it. Unfortunately, this risk did not pay off. Reading other reviews, I find it was filmed in two weeks on a low budget - IT SHOWS ! Pathetic wannabe of an action film. A story that could have given wings, BUT too many daydreams / flashbacks, not enough budget to do the job.Quote "Nominated for best picture at seven film festivals", well I'm glad I did not have to sit through the others. The only "scrap" is right at the end,you cannot call it a battle, its appalling. But, to be fair, at least they did not have pointy headgear.This does not deserve a Viking funeral, it is not worth the materials it is made out of. To coin a phrase, "Run for the hills" if you see this coming to a DVD player near you.

I saw this movie theatrically in Karup bio. it left a lasting impression. I think some of the negative reviews must come from people who took this movie far too seriously.it was filmed in 2 weeks only, from reading about this project. the producer performed nothing short of a miracle. a film takes months to do. So lets give them that credit. What we have here is good, old-fashioned film-making style--the actors knew it--the director knew it--so lighten up, and enjoy this exciting adventure. I'm sure that Gantzler and Vedsegaard realized that they were not going to win Oscars for this movie--but sometimes even the best actors like to do things that are fun !. Mr. Vedsegaard must have had a ball, wearing an outlandish wig, as they wore in the classic movie "the long ship". Movie buffs will see many familiar faces in this one, although--in a number of cases--they may not be so apparent at first. Terrific character actor, Erik Holmey , and beautiful belly dancers --. Anyway--for history scholars and lovers of authenticity--enjoy. this movie is for us who like pure entertainment, "an exciting voyage !

My ancestors being of Scandinavian descent we selected to watch this movie at Bare Bones festival.We were expecting some gore and barbaric scenes however my husband and I were wonderfully surprised to discover not only a unique and interesting story but a movie fit for the entire family. Yes there were some fierce battles and fights but it was made in a somewhat non-gory, very "un- Hollywood" styled way so that even our grand children would feel comfortable watching. The director who was even there in person took time before and after the movie to answer any questions. L. Henson,

Now this is good independent cinema considering it was extremely low budget and shot in only 2 weeks!!! wow!.I went to the First Take Film Fest and watched several films. But this one stood out from the crowd.A VIKING movie done by an independent producer and from my research this fellow wrote directed and produced this by himself with his own money. It was well put together, acting and direction were good, and music score simply AMAZING and on par with any major "hollywood" score.And it was edited in an abstract but intriguing way so you had to pay attention or possibly get a little lost. very sneaky idea and it made it more mysterious. And there was a superb viking battle very well done with some special effects only done by major studios. The audio ( which in Indy films tend to be mediocre at best,) was perfect.Overall very good.for an self produced Indy film: EXCELLENT. watch out Hollywood the"low budget" vikings are coming.!!!
