Ragnarok

About This Movie

Ragnarok (2013) is an intriguing blend of action and adventure that dives into the mysteries of the Viking Age. The film follows archaeologist Sigurd Svendsen, who, alongside his two kids, uncovers secrets tied to the Oseberg ship, a real historical artifact. The tone is a mix of suspense and familial bonding, as they navigate the eerie landscapes of 'No Man's Land' between Norway and Russia. What stands out is the atmospheric tension, enhanced by practical effects rather than heavy CGI, which gives it a grounded feel. Performances are decent, though the pacing can feel uneven at times, oscillating between the thrill of discovery and quiet moments of reflection. It's a unique take on the adventure genre, with a distinctively Nordic flair.
