      That's the point, it's a mix between fantasy and history just like the novel it's based on

      Neanderthals u fkn magic spastic. They just cheaped-out on the make-up.
      Everything else is a total lock to remnant ~~*Neanderthals*~~.

      There's anew movie out called "Out of Darkness" which is about some "modern humans" (tribal types but cast in Blackrock ESG style so there's no consistency in their genetic types) coming across a mysterious force, perhaps a giant serpent, which then turns out to maybe a single individual, then a second, then subtle tells that there's a whole tribe running around hiding their numbers and pretending to be the same person (wearing similar masks), taking them out Friday the 13th/Jason Vorhees style (by way of Hot Fuzz's cult's tricks - one shot/evasion trick is exactly the same as Hot Fuzz), but retaining prime breeding individuals. Which again, is a very ~~*familiar*~~ ancient traditional practice of a certain extremely inbred race.

    I've seen this only once, years ago, but my lingering memory of it is, that it's one of those a bit stupid movies that take themselves too seriously, without realising how stupid they are.

      Let me guess. You're one of those people who thought Antonio's character learned the Viking's language in one night because you couldn't tell that the entire scene was a montage of different nights.

    Just read the book a little while back. While I knew the movie was based on a novel I had no idea until I started reading that the person Banderas portrayed was real and the events were from his own writings.

      Yeah it’s based on real people and events. Scenes at the first Viking camp with the ship burial and the meal where they clean up with the same bowl of water in particular stick close to his description.

            actually this movie goes arguably even deeper into the "outsider integrates into foreign culture and learns its values" thing as the Muslim even uses a Viking prayer at the end which lets be real most muslims would see as super-offensive.

              Not particularly at that time tbh. Nowadays sure, but back then "the prayers of the unbeliever are as valuable as they are genuine" was pretty much the rule.

            They're not noble they are shown as dirty and crude. Comparing Last Samurais depiction of japs to the depiction of Germanics in this has to be the most braindead thing any person ever wrote on the internet.

      The only real gripe i ever had with with it was that Banderas was a miscast. I know why they did it, but he was still a miscast.

      Germany dubs almost every movie. It's pretty crazy. That's why they have their own special editions and stuff.

      Can't somebody just take the German video and slap english audio over it?

        Usually the german bluray releases have the english audio track as well as the german one. You just have to buy them from a german shop.
        If you can find it, that is (They also rename most movies to some crazy german title that isn't a direct translation).

        are you guys talking about purchasing a physical bluray?

        because it takes 5 seconds to find a bluray rip on e.g. 1337x

    The production was super troubled and I don't think the industry liked that Michael Crichton basically took over production from Director John McTiernan and then even with re-shoots and stuff it ended up as a box office flop. I'm assuming the marketing was bad and it just wasn't good timing for a historical epic because the final product is a fairly exciting adventure movie and very rewatchable.

    My mum took us to see this when it came out at the long gone de anza drive in theater. It double featured with another movie, which I think might have been escape from la, the inferior brother to escape from NY.
