Pathfinder

This is an older movie, and its been out awhile, but when we rented it from our local movie rental place, I'm glad we took the time to see it.

When a woman finds a crashed Viking ship, (awesomely eerie in itself), she comes across a boy left in the wreckage. After some speculation, the lad is raised by the Native Americans and named "Ghost".
After years and years go by, guess who returns to "cleanse the land of savages"? That's right, the Vikings. And so, loyal to those who made him a part of their tribe and family, Ghost goes out to kill those who killed his family. But the Vikings have another plan...

The film-makers made the Vikings really neat, (not in the cool-and-fun-to -be-around way, either). Their helmets are terror inflicting, and their language, (could it be Old Norse?), is really neat to listen to.

This movie is complete with awesome and believable fight-scenes, a shield sledding scene where the hero is pursued by the Norsemen down a slippery slope, and really pretty country-side.

Other than a few inavoidable bad words in the subtitles of the Vikings, this movie is clean and fun to watch.

I give it the O.A.M.R. of four stars
