This is on IFC right now. It's really good.

Pretty bad ending. Maybe not bad, just abrupt. Too bad I only caught it halfway through.

Huh! I haven't had IFC since 2008, so... what is it about?

Sadly in my opinion, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Character interaction was terrible, and I'm not a fan of the artsy way it was constructed. I'll never touch my DVD of it again I'm afraid, on fear that I'll slip into a coma.

It is a terrible movie, simply atrocious.

i thought it was the most boring, awful movie i ever had the misfortune to watch. i kept thinking something remotely interesting might happen but it never did. a total waste of time..
a plus for the actors was there wasn't very many lines to learn | | |

I thought plenty of interesting stuff happened. And I think one of this movie's problems is that it doesn't know who the main character is - is it One Eye, or the New World? Is this a story about One Eye, the mute Viking warrior, or the New World that they discover? And honestly if you view this as a story about One Eye then it's just OK - I mean, the guy doesn't even have any lines. But as a story about discovery of a new, hostile world? It actually tells that story really well. Maybe the movie just doesn't know what it's about.

Despite the reviews here, I have been wanting to see this for awhile now. Unfortunately, I missed it on IFC, and a search to see if it is playing again shows.......that it is not. | | |
