If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.įor those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, we see flashes of lightning during such a storm.įor those prone to visually induced motion sickness, varying amounts of handheld camerawork appear in the film. Some ceremonial and medicinal smoking occurs, including one bit that suggests that the smoked substance is something resembling marijuana. The invaders obviously have bad attitudes, while tense family material includes characters witnessing Vikings kill their family members, while a boy is tortured by his father for disobeying him. Some of that material and other moments of potential peril might be unsettling or suspenseful to some viewers, while the action and stunts might be enticing for some kids to imitate. Violence, however, is in plentiful supply, with various characters killing others by various means, often in graphic fashion with very bloody and/or gory results. Profanity and colorful phrases are in limited supply, which also holds true for sexual content beyond the presence of various shirtless male American Indians, and the sight of one in a loincloth (showing part of the side of his butt). OUR WORD TO PARENTS: The following is a brief summary of the content found in this R-rated action flick. (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below).
KARL URBAN plays the son of a Viking leader who was the only survivor of a shipwreck following a Viking invasion.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For strong brutal violence throughout.
WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? Some male teens might find it enticing, but it doesn't appear as if this will be a major draw among kids. After their brief visit there, Ghost goes off to settle his dual identity, unaware that a marauding band of Vikings led by Gunnar (CLANCY BROWN) and Ulfar (RALF MOELLER) have arrived to slaughter the young man's adoptive family and friends.ĭistraught but angry over that turn of events, Ghost - eventually with the help of Starfire and others - sets out to get revenge on the Vikings for what they've done to him, his family, and their people. That's according to the tribe's spiritual leader, Pathfinder (RUSSELL MEANS), who's arrived with his adult daughter, Starfire (MOON BLOODGOOD), and others in hopes of finding a replacement for his role. Adopted by the survivors, he grows up to be Ghost (KARL URBAN), a young man who wants to be a warrior, but must figure out his true identity before being accepted that way. A shipwreck, however, leaves the ruler's boy alone in this strange world. PLOT: It's hundreds of years before Columbus' arrival in the "new world" and Vikings have arrived and slaughtered the Native Americans they encounter. It's a very detailed, well-written setting handbook rife with inspiration and interest.QUICK TAKE: Action/Adventure: A young man - born to Vikings but raised by American Indians - must contend with his dual identity when Scandinavian marauders arrive once again with the similar intent of wiping out his adoptive people and their society. Along with that, the book provides new mechanical options that include new ancestries, religions and even a 20-page bestiary to really fire up the imagination. These are all formatted in Pathfinder's classic "gazetteer" style that neatly presents the information. Making characters that hail from the Mwangi Expanse is made simple with this book, as it provides heaps of information about the continent's geography, various nations and settlements, important landmarks, and a brief history of the continent. Paizo seems to be going for a more global approach to character origins in 2e, and as a result, players are getting more in-depth and culturally broader insights into the different locations on Golarion. This book deals with the Mwangi Expanse, a continent reminiscent of Africa that got relegated to a destination in Pathfinder's First Edition.
