Following in the giant footsteps of André Øvredal's Troll Hunter (2010) is this creature feature - nothing to do with superheroes - also set in the wildest reaches of Norway, but where Troll Hunter plumbed Norwegian folklore and came up with a creature feature that was inventive, this movie is far more tired with its main character, a gormless cross between an Indiana Jones archeologist and an Alan Grant paleontologist, banging on for the first half of the movie about Norse mythology - Oseberg ship artefact finding, runic alphabet-deciphering, code-breaking and very loose history-building - but only as an extremely longwinded way of getting him and his two children and a few other hangers-on to a Jurassic Park in Finnmark where a giant monster briefly harrasses them.
