Viking-Alien Saga Bound For Valhalla As The Year’s Best Science Fiction Movie?

Scrappy indie movie Outlander satisfied our need for cool aliens as well as our love for viking glory and swordfights. And now it's up for "Best Science Fiction Movie" in Spike's Scream Awards. Also in the running: Duncan Jones' justly acclaimed Moon. The other contenders are all big studio productions like Star Trek, Transformers 2, Terminator 4 and Knowing. So it's nice to see a couple smaller movies making the ballot — and especially one that slid under the radar, like Outlander.
