well the effects were ok but hollow earth? uhm jumping from an apparent 1g to an inverted 1g is ludicrous, someone did not know or care how gravity works. plot was …. well hour in and there isn’t really any. booring and stupid

you will love it , the ending is really good. I would also recommend to you “ the reefs of earth” or “past master” both by r. a. lafferty, a very unique writer , one of my faves. enjoy!

it is said : the optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds, while the pessimist fears this may be true.

I consider this a hidden gem mashing up the sci-fi AND Viking Age genres..don’t know how else to describe it lol…I love all movies set in the Viking eras and i also love all things sci-fi…this has BOTH! Not only that, but the Alien monster looks damn cool and is pretty darn scary lol. I come back to this movie every time i see it, so i WILL be watching this tonight. If you like sci-fi and vikings like i do, then give this a shot.

hi you might try reading “king david’s spaceship” by jerry pournelle . its a great sci fi where aliens land and fight medievil knights (and lose)

Not exactly. It was written (and directed) by the Spierig brothers, but based on the idea in Heinlein’s All You Zombies.
