let me start by say that negative comment motivate by it be a reinterpretation of the beowulf story and not be historically correct be simply mistake . all movie that exist be influence by old tale and some rip them off blindly and some even claim to tell the true story ( king arthurshudders ) . but look for historical correctness in a movie that say alien vs. viking be like go into an helly kitty movie expect some good action scene and blood . you choose what movie to watch and stick with the genre you like and then you will not be disappoint so often . _now to the movie itself_ i expect this movie to be cheap and cheesy and uninteresting but watch it together with my even more skeptical girlfriend change our both mind . this movie be well do and well shot and well produce and the prop look good enough and the set be good enough and the cgi be well do and the actor do a decent job . the screenplay seem to be cut just right and it do not have too many length or short and the conversation have the need information without venture off too far into the romance story within the action . i like that most of the romance be portray simply through visuals and not word . the action be well cut and though i would have like it to be a bit less shaky but it seem this trend will have to develop to it extreme before it start to vanish again ( hopefully soon i wan na see the effort the actor and stuntman put into their swordplay more clearly . ) . minor spoiler the story have some nice tone to it and especially an untypical rivalry between the main character and a male side character and that do not include the typical i will kill you if you touch her or the typical fistfight and alcohol to make them friend again and very well do . representd the background story to the beast and it motivation close before the final and the portrait of it really give the whole thing more depth to it and i like it very much and because that way you can just be all alienhating over the course of the whole movie and get this slight oh no i feel bad for them feel right before it end representd i like that the viking cast do not only consist of 2 meter man with 1 meter broad shoulder grunt and shout and but that they be more displayed a human and normal men ( unlike pathfinder or king arthur ) and which i honestly have expect to happen and because of the b movieish kind of nature of the main idea for the movie . a i say in the beginning and this movie be just cinema at it best . it do not have many fault and most of them be because of the low production value of the movie and but they really push themselves and i wish this movie the best of success and want to see more of this kind of well do entertainment .
