Movie Reviews of Pathfinder [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Bad film, but neat to watch...
Summary: 3 Stars
Really, this movie is not very good. Trust the negative reviews on this one. So why did I rate it three stars? Because this is the closest I've seen to a live action Frazetta painting.
If you have fond memories of those old sword-and-sorcery paperback covers of armored warriors riding out of the mist, you may like the look of this movie quite a bit.
Unfortunately, warriors in the mist, while it makes for an arresting visual, is awfully hard to make out in live action. The fights are gloriously violent and the claret flows like water. But even if you can get past the bad script and plot holes to enjoy the action, you will find it very hard to follow. All that mist and shadow makes for a movie that is muddled, muddy and dark.
For most people, I'd say skip this one. If you are a Frazetta fan, it might be worth a look, but even then, don't hold your breath.
Summary of Pathfinder [Blu-ray]
The heroic story of a young Norse man raised by Native American Indians who wages a personal war against the Vikings that barbarically raided his tribe.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
