Storyline

When the archaeologist Sigurd can't settle on the myth about Ragnarok, the end of the world in Northern mythology, he decides to go on an expedition together with two colleges and his two kids. This adventure leads them to Finnmark in the Northern most part of Norway, and into "No mans land" between Russia and Norway, where no one has been in modern times. Old runes gets new meanings, when they unveil the truth. A truth bigger and more spectacular than you would have dreamed. Written by OJT

A giant Norwegian turkey
29 November 2014 | by See all my reviews

I usually like Norwegian films - I loved the Cold Prey series, Headhunters, Troll Hunter, etc, so I approached this with high expectation. What a disappointment! From start to finish, this film was badly scripted, badly acted (apart from Sofia Helin), predictable, and unintentionally hilarious. It's not a Viking movie, it's not a thriller, it's not a monster movie, it's not even a passable family drama, rather it's a tepid mish mash of all those genres, and fails in every aspect.

It's biggest sin, however, is that it is just unforgivably dull. Dire. 1/10 for Sofia Helin (Elisabeth).
