Pathfinder opened theatrically in the United States on 13 April 2007, in sixth place on its opening weekend and had some big competition at the box office with 300, Blades of Glory, and Disturbia amongst others, and although Pathfinder earned over $5 million in its opening weekend at the box office, this quickly tailed off.

Michael Ordona of the Los Angeles Times called it unintentionally funny, and Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle called it a failed attempt to make an art-house film out of a concept better suited to an exploitation film.Īmong the more positive reviews, Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the film "nicely balances action and adventure with American Indian wisdom and a modest romance to provide a graphic-comic-book movie experience for males in urban markets." Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe praised the "grueling action sequences", granting that the filmmakers "choreograph some excitement" in two scenes "in a 99-minute adventure that feels longer than that".

Metalheads will be in Valhalla everyone else should find a different path." Peter Debruge of Variety wrote, "This latest bit of historical balder-dash stands in direct defiance of proven action-movie formulas, trusting its brutal concept and striking visuals to overcome a lack of star power." Manohla Dargis of The New York Times wrote, "All grunting, all goring, the witless action flick "Pathfinder" has little to recommend it". The film received generally negative reviews, with an 11% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 76 reviews, and a score of 29 on Metacritic based on 23 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".Ī review on the BBC website gave the film two out of five stars, stating, ".this Norse saga plays like a 100 minute trailer there's no character development, no real plot, just a string of high-concept action sequences.director Marcus Nispel helms it like it's a nu-metal video: swirling dry ice, thundering Dolby sound effects, and oversized Vikings who look like WWF wrestlers. These cuts were restored however, as well as the gore, for the unrated version, which was released on 27 August 2007. In total around ten minutes were cut out of the film. Nispel was also forced to trim down 23 scenes (including significant plot development) for reasons of time and pacing.

Castįor the theatrical release and the initial DVD release, director Marcus Nispel had been forced to cut the gore and digitally remove some of the extreme violence out of at least 32 scenes, and also a scene of Ghost and Starfire making love in a cave, so that the film could gain an R rating from the MPAA. Ghost, now finally respected as the bravest of the tribe and one of their own, assumes his position watching over the coast in case the Vikings ever return. Ghost returns to Starfire with Pathfinder's necklace, thus making Starfire the new Pathfinder after her father. Ghost eventually kills Gunnar in a duel on a cliff's edge Ghost pretends to lead the Vikings to the tribe, and manages to kill most of them on the way, some drowning in a lake and others caught in an avalanche. The Vikings threaten to torture Starfire if Ghost will not betray the location of the other villages. Eventually, both Jester and Pathfinder are executed brutally, and Ghost and Starfire are captured. Pathfinder goes after his daughter and also joins the fight. They defeat a few Vikings and collect their arms and armour.
