The Northman (2022) is available to watch on Prime Video

(Pocket-lint) – Those of you who love anything Vikings-related will be glad to know The Northman is now available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video.  The Northman is a 2022 film directed by Robert Eggers, who also co-wrote the screenplay. It’s based on the legend of Amleth and stars Alexander Skarsgard (who served as a co-producer) alongside Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, and Willem Dafoe.

Skarsgard plays the main character, Amleth, a Viking prince who tries to avenge the murder of his father. The Northman premiered in March 2022 and received a theatrical release the following month. While it has received critical acclaim for its cinematography, production, world-building, and even historical accuracy, the film hasn’t performed super well at the box office – so far grossing just £58 million worldwide.

Perhaps that’s why the movie is now available to stream online. Don’t let its rocky theatrical debut put you off. The Northman currently holds an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Some editors at Pocket-lint also saw the movie and can report that it’s great fun to watch. We particularly like how there is no romanticising of the Vikings. It is brutal, gory, and hellish.

It’s also neat to watch a Vikings story that’s not just another raid of England. The Northman is set in “The Land of the Rus” – or what is modern-day Ukraine and Russia. In a Vanity Fair interview, Eggers revealed said his first version of the film’s script took place in the British Isles, but Skarsgard said no to that idea because it’d had been done a lot: “He said, ‘If we could go east, it would be a lot more interesting.'”  It’s well-worth renting or buying to watch on-demand from Amazon Prime Video.

You could make it a weekend rental splurge. Treat yourself.
