I still think that this page needs a disambig to the earlier Outland (film). Not only do the two films share similar names, but because of the way titles on wikipedia are constructed similar article names. However this is just my opinion, I'll respect user Erik's asssertion that such an disambig is not needed. If in case a consensus of users decides that the disambig is needed, I've saved the line I used below.

After reviewing the existing disambiguation pages, I see what you're trying to do and have restored it using a "for" template. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, you've done a better job of it than I have, I just try make them look the same rather than use the template.KTo288 18:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDB has Outlander down as being released in 2008. Where does the 2009 release come from? Euchrid (talk) 13:41, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I've changed that. Someone decided to only take the US release dates into account when it was released across Europe in various parts of 2008. Canterbury Tail talk 12:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The quote that compares this film to Highlander and Braveheart is very misleading. The film is a retelling of Beowulf and so should be grouped with 13th Warrior/Beowulf/Beowulf and Grendle. The Sci Fi element is actually used as little more than a framing device and the main plot is actually far closer to Beowulf than those other films.
