Solid. Kinda in the same vein of SEVERED WAYS: NORSE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA but a little more of a budget, plus I think it's a Scottish film.
Basically you got this dude One Eyed, who's pretty cool, he's the man, kills everyone he meets kinda deal. Ends up on boat in Vinland and there you go!

watch it on netflix!

seen it

Awesome movie i got it from netflix the other day

This movie floated above any modern sensibilities about "new world"exploration and really got into the psyche of wayward explorers. Amazing cinematography and believable characters. One of the best I saw last year. For everyone that's sick of typical movies with catered scripts and lame plots.

Dug this flick thoroughly.

Added this to my queue this weekend, will definitely check it out based on comments above.
[Jan 3,2011 10:32am - Yeti ""]
hmm, i'd like to see this. i figured it was another abysmal failure like Pathfinder.
[Jan 3,2011 10:44am - arkquimanthorn ""]
Not at all yeti, my explanation was specifically pointing out bad movies like that.
[Jan 3,2011 10:45am - arkquimanthorn ""]
Pathfinder wasn't "terrible" but it was "bad". Valhalla Rising is "fucking awesome".
[Jan 3,2011 11:50am - Mutis ""]
this has been on my queue for a while. gotta watch it this week...

Typical metalheads. Always jumping all over "viking" shit like it's your day job.
[Jan 3,2011 11:53am - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
haha
there's a movie coming out called "Thor" that looks like it has potential to be great, but probably fails miserably .
[Jan 3,2011 12:22pm - The_Rooster ""]
It was great, until he escaped the heathens...
then it was just a grubby dude walking around for an hour and a half.
that disembowlment was amazing though.
[Jan 3,2011 12:40pm - arkquimanthorn ""]
haha yeah, the whole movie is grubby dudes walking around, don't expect any epic hero tale here. this movie is either extremely unsettling and realistic, or extremely boring. i fucking loved it but results will vary.
[Jan 3,2011 12:41pm - TheRidersofDoom ""]
marvel Thor? If so...it will be shit
Comic book thor is so gay, but if it succeeds maybe it will open a new generation to Norse mythology and Viking metal
ITT Viking metal becomes the new Folk Metal which is currently the new Videogame/speed metal

and shitty ass jig metal. reason number one why fintroll fans need to be castrated
[Jan 3,2011 1:11pm - TheRidersofDoom ""]
Visor Om Slutet is still one of my favorite albums, but I do agree that Finntroll fans suck and their last two or three albums have blown.
[Jan 3,2011 1:44pm - arkquimanthorn ""]
fintroll, get the fuck out of this thread.

What? It's true. You know it, I know it.

YOU BREAK EDGE NOW!

aril%20NLI said:What? It's true. You know it, I know it. another reason why i liked this movie is that there are no historical romanticized perceptions of anything. no glorified vikings, no pantheon, no sagas, no myth. at the same time, this movie wouldn't have worked if it wasn't about vikings.
[Jan 3,2011 2:23pm - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
haven't seen it, but really interested in it. having a stereotypical metalhead interest in all things viking FTW
[Jan 3,2011 2:29pm - arkquimanthorn ""]
i'll keep my stereotypical Hammerheart fap sessions, THANKS

this.

your arrested.
[Jan 3,2011 3:26pm - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
although that is not a typical release.
[Jan 3,2011 3:28pm - Yeti ""]
you are well aware of my Finntroll love. aside from the new one, it kind of sucks. however Ur Jordens Djup was stellar.
[Jan 3,2011 3:29pm - Yeti ""]
the thing is, i'm patiently waiting to find a better band that has that sound. i've heard this fabled "folk" metal and i haven't heard one that interests me like that. Moonsorrow is close, i'm sure they are "super gay" too, but they still don't have the same jiggy sound, which is what i like.
[Jan 3,2011 3:30pm - Yeti ""]
not to detract from Moonsorrow, they too have some stellar albums. aside from the last EP, that was pretty lame.
[Jan 3,2011 3:30pm - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
Moonsorrow was always a good band. Some of their stuff is "meh" at best, but the majority of it is really epic and good.
Jig metal has ruined folk metal.
[Jan 3,2011 3:31pm - Yeti ""]
i'm still patiently waiting for these better bands.
[Jan 3,2011 3:32pm - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
ONLY OTYG IS REAL
[Jan 3,2011 3:34pm - Yeti ""]
you should email me a list of bands to check out.
[Jan 3,2011 3:44pm - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
i don't know what you're looking for? jig or folk? or jigfolk? or folkjig?
[Jan 3,2011 6:02pm - ValkyrieScreams ""]
this looks awesome... adding it to the netflix queue now.
[Jan 3,2011 6:10pm - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
sigh. i wish i had netflix. it's probably time to venture down that territory. this movie does look good though. there's another vikingesque movie that came out not too long ago my uncle told me to see, but I can't remember the name of it.
[Jan 3,2011 6:16pm - ValkyrieScreams ""]
not sure if this might be the one you're talking about, but there's one about a couple of viking guys who were stranded in north america (nova scotia, canada, or the northern us... not sure exactly). i'm pretty sure its called "severed ways". i've been told by several people to check it out, but haven't yet.
[Jan 3,2011 6:17pm - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
nope.. i've been meaning to see that one also. I think I remember my uncle saying something about the movie being animated
[Jan 3,2011 6:30pm - ValkyrieScreams ""]
animated...? "how to train your dragon"? lol

done and done. good luck finding some of them. There's a bunch I left off the list. hope you enjoy. shit too me almost and hour to type out :satancross:
[Jan 4,2011 12:43am - BSV ""]
I have a copy of Severed Ways at the house if ya'll wanna come by and watch it.
[Jan 4,2011 12:45am - aril NLI (sXe) ""]
yea man. definitely wanna see that. how was the jam tonight?
[Jan 4,2011 12:49am - BSV ""]
shit's going well, hope you get to do leads sometime soon guy!
[Apr 25,2011 12:05am - Uh ""]
Thought this movie was a bit boring until I realized the shit they drank from that jug towards the end was some fucked up psychotropic shit which explains a lot. Oh and realizing the connection between One-Eye getting visions of the future and Odin having given up his eye to peer into the future.
Good movie.
