Sigurd Svendsen (Pål Sverre Hagen) is a Norwegian archaeologist who is fascinated by a viking ship found at the Oseberg burial mound. He believes that a runic inscription on the ship, which translates to "man knows little," holds the key to understanding the Norse myth of Ragnarok: the day when heaven and earth are destroyed. After finding similar inscriptions on a stone in Northern Norway, Sigurd, along with his kids and a colleague, begins an expedition to uncover the secret of the day of doom.

“Ragnarok hits all of the right beats and makes for a pleasing adventure.” – Ryan Turek, Shock Till You Drop

“Ragnarok is a smart, fun film rooted in an engaging mythology, offering nods to films like Cliffhanger and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” – Ryan Turek, Shock Till You Drop

“It’s as though the kids in 1985's The Goonies were accompanied by adults on a wilderness adventure. It adds up to a fun family adventure, with Norwegian style and a welcome edge, something even Indiana Jones in his prime could never quite achieve without a lot more bickering.” – Peter Martin, Twitch Film

“Spielbergian in the best possible way, "Ragnarok" is an old school Hollywood style action adventure from a country not exactly known for them, director Mikkel Sandemose has packed "Ragnarok" with good-natured cinematic nods to "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Jurassic Park" and "Alien." - Joe Gross, Austin American-Statesman

“The first half of the film plays out like an Indiana Jones film, with Sigurd tracking down clues, exploring the wilderness, double-crosses, and at least a little bit of real-life history. The second half plays out more like Jurassic Park, with a group trying to escape a huge monster and the constant near-misses, close calls and improvised escape tactics. As soon as the movie was over, I wanted to go out and buy a battle axe and smash things while pretending I was a Viking.” – The Wolfman Cometh

“This family-friendly film pays homage to blockbusters such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Goonies without the overdone Hollywood gloss.” – Debbie Cerda, Slackerwood

“It's a family creature feature in a way that doesn't talk down to the kids or pander to them, which is good news for the adults in the crowd. I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance.” – Quint, Ain’t It Cool News

“Ragnarok is the closest you’re going to get to a new Steven Spielberg movie in the manner of Jurassic Park or Raiders of the Lost Ark.” – Josh Spiegel, Sound on Sight
