Jesus (James Cavaziel) is a spaceman who lands in 6th(?) century viking territory bringing with him a glow-in-the-dark space monster that terrorises the locals who include John Hurt as a viking warlord and (a plump) Sophia Myles as a butch princess.

Surprisingly not as shit as it sounds and some quite decent sfx - some of you will know that I'm a sfx whore and can easily be bought by a few explosions and funky looking animals/creatures. The creature fx are up with some of the best of recent times. (The offworld 'cleansing' scene in particular is quite impressive.)

Not going to win any awards - the dialogue is particularly shit, sounding like some 6th grader with learning difficulties was given final say - and won't make anyone's films of 2009, but great popcorn fodder.
