Movie Reviews of Pathfinder (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Great movie Exactly as expected - No problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not sure if most people know that this movie is something of a re-make of a 1987 film of the same title. The original is all in a Scandinavian language with English subtitles, but I promise you that this is not a detractor from the movie. I first saw the original in 1992 while posted to a remote outpost in the Sinai. The original Pathfinder was fast paced and to me after the first few minutes I didn't even realize I was reading subtitles. I special order this movie on VHS as soon as I returned from the Sinai in 1993 and have been a fan ever since. It's so good that even my three boys enjoyed watching it multiple times.
Now, I enjoyed the 2007 version but not as much as the original. Being familiar with the story line I could just find it in the re-make. For all intents and purposes though it's a different movie all together. I liked the special effects and the action and thought it was well made. It is not nearly as good of a story as the original though.
If you like this kind of movie I highly recommend the original, I don't think you will be disappointed.
I ordered the DVD "Pathfinder" to watch here in Iraq. The DVD arrived in good condition and exactly as I expected, in a reasonable amount of time. No problems with the DVD or the vedor at all - I'd do business with this vendor again. Review by Mark Grant, author of Blood of Scotland, available at Amazon.com or through [...]
Summary of Pathfinder (Unrated Edition)
Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 09/09/2008 Run time: 106 minutes Rating: UrPathfinder 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
