A Viking Saga: The Darkest Day (2013) Review by je2643
I gave it a higher rating then it deserves but this is to offset thelower ratings for which it does not deserve. A tale of vikings raidingsaxon territory, and the viking leader seeking a book which is supposedto be a holy relic of Christ as he feels it has power which he can usefor his own advantage. The story follows the young monk who is the onlysurvivor of a monastery where the book was kept, and his flight fromthe vikings. He is aided by a British warrior nobleman, and later onanother (I leave unnoted so as to not spoil).
There are a few moments where it plods a touch, but overall I thoughtit well done. It is brutal in parts, but back in 733AD (when this takesplace - part of the dark ages) it was brutal times. I thought theacting was good, the cinematography very good and it had grippingmoments. Most of what happens is I think fairly predictable, but howmany movies are not? There are always flaws in movies, but I think theones in the movie can be overlooked plot wise. I have watched athousand movies rated 5-6 that were not as good as this one at itcurrent 3.5 rating, so I have no idea what the panning is about.
Just be advised, this is not a movie for children. There are brutalscenes of violence (and more) in the movie - entirely keeping withinthe character of the times and setting but stark just the same.
The published plot line indicates this movie is based upon a truestory, or at least some sort of folklore. I have no idea of theaccuracy or merit of that contention, and it seems to me it really doesnot matter.
A Viking Saga: The Darkest Day (2013) Review by siderite from Romania
I also have to express dismay at the low rating this film has on IMDb.It seemed a well done, decently acted movie with a story that isneither ridiculous nor simplistic. I honestly believe it is deservingof an above average rating. Probably what annoyed a lot of people isthe poster, which has nothing to do with the movie at all. It is not afilm about glorious deaths in violent battles.
The Viking raid on Lindisfarne monastery is a real event that isconsidered by historians to be the beginning of the so called VikingAge. As with the TV show Vikings, the event is used to inspire thestoryline in The Darkest Day, without much concern for historicalaccuracy, but this film has it a bit closer to reality.
The plot is seen through the eyes of a young monk, one of two escapingfrom the Lindisfarne's raid and carrying the Lindisfarne's Gospels, abeautifully crafted book that holds "the word of God" and without whichthe monks believe the Angles country is lost. The book is a realartifact that you can read about. The monks run away from a bunch ofVikings that want the book, believing it holds "the power of the whiteChrist" and can be used to rule the land. Their escape shows youglimpses of the wild and poor way of living in those times (around 800AD) in the British Isles. Helped by an old warrior, they meet Christiansectarians and a Pict woman they rescue from bondage and try to fendoff the raiders.
I've watched a few Viking related movies lately, something spurned bythe TV show Vikings, and this is by far one of the best. It is a lowbudget English and Welsh film with almost completely unknown actors ina small cast, but they each play their roles well and the bleak andviolent trek through ancient England feels realistic and raw. The nameof the young monk, Hereward, is an ironic hint of the end of the movie.Again: a clearly above average film, especially if you are in a Vikingmood.
