Movie Reviews of PathfinderMovie Review: KILLER MOVIE!! EVERY MINUTE SO WORTH IT!! Summary: 5 Stars
man, i don't know about everybody else, but this movie was off the hook! pathfinder was up there with some of the best ones. i mean for real, you just have to watch it more than once. it's a whole adrenaline rush, an action movie that just doesn't stop. you get so into it, you just don't want it to be over. the whole movie was kicken. the story, the era, the indians, the vikings, the whole thing was great. the costumes were beautiful. the brutallity of the vikings, horrible, but that's one of the things that hooks you. the details of both of these groups of people. the calm and simple life of the indians and in contrast the cold and violent life of the vikings. clash in this one of a kind film. a young boy left behind by his birth people, the vikings, left to be raised by the indian people. he is different, he is raised with heart, with love, and with peace. all that is torn away and ripped to shreds when his true people return. he must be what he really is, a viking, to defeat this group of savages. he must fight like they do, think like they do, in order to survive. they want to destroy everyone and everything in their path, and make it their own. but he, who they left behind, will be their downfall. who was to know that years later, when the vikings return they would come face to face with the one they thought weakest. it's one man against many ruthless killers. the people he hates most, are a part of him, and the people that he feels he truly belongs with won't fully accept him. he must find his true self before he can really belong. great movie, empowering, and one mans determination to destroy those who hate, and fight for those he loves is just mind blowing. defenitly recommend, and i just don't see any flaws throughout this whole film. great actors, karl urban especially, great! the whole deal was tight. EXCELLENT!!
Summary of PathfinderPATHFINDER - DVD Movie Pathfinder is a curious, cross-genre movie with elements of horror, sword-clanging fantasy, historical fiction, and Native American mysticism. A classic story of an outsider-hero, Pathfinder is set approximately five centuries before Columbus? arrival in the New World, a time when Vikings were claiming real estate in Greenland and eastern North America. A young Norse boy is abandoned by his disapproving, conqueror-father and adopted by an aboriginal tribe. He grows up to become Ghost (Karl Urban), almost-but-not-entirely accepted by natives, yet a fierce swordsman and defender of Indians after a terrible assault on those whom he loves best. Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption) plays the fiercest of the invaders, a merciless leader who tangles with Ghost?s inherent prowess as a fighter, and engages in a psychological as well as physical struggle with him in the film?s final third, which involves a harrowing journey through an avalanche-prone mountain path. Russell Means (The Last of the Mohicans) is a typically comforting presence as the all-wise Pathfinder, leader of a tribal nation and Ghost?s supporter, while Moon Bloodgood (Eight Below) is outstanding as a love interest with nerves of steel. Marcus Nispel (who directed the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) guides the brutal if often exhilarating action as if it were amplified history. He makes the point for a contemporary audience that Vikings were as terrifying a danger to those whom they conquered as, say, Klingons are in Star Trek--precisely by making his Vikings seem so reminiscent of Klingons. --Tom Keogh
