"Pathfinder" is a historical action/adventure, based on the Vikings who first invaded North America.
An American Indian woman discovers the wreckage of a Viking ship. On board, she finds a young orphaned Viking. Adopting him as one of their own, Ghost grows up as an outcast...not a member of this world...but knowing little of the world he came from. Inevitably, the "dragon men" return...and when his village is destroyed and everyone he ever knew is slain...Ghost must look for vengeance against his own people.
A popularly told tale...the misfit outsider who gains a chance at acceptance through the return of his former people. However...in this case, it was not particularly well-told. There are some spectacular battle scenes. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie isn't very entertaining. Parts of the movie reminded me of "First Blood"...the lone warrior in the woods battling a numerically superior foe, picking off enemies one by one.
The unfortunate part is that this could have been a very good movie. But..."Pathfinder" is best left for a Saturday night video rental.
