Entertaining Matinée
In Norway, the archaeologist Sigurd Svendsen (Pål Sverre Hagen) is obsessed with the mythology about Ragnarok that he had researched with his deceased wife that died of cancer. Sigurd raises his children Ragnhild (Maria Annette Tanderød Berglyd) and Brage (Julian Podolski) alone and expects to receive a donation for the museum where he works to proceed with his research with runes that had been found in the Oseberg ship but the contributors refuse to donate money for his work.Sigurd meets his colleague Allan (Nicolai Cleve Broch), who also research the myth about Ragnarok, and they decide to go on an expedition with the also archaeologist Elisabeth (Sofia Helin) and Ragnhild and Brage that are on vacation. Allan hires the guide Leif (Bjørn Sundquist) and they travel to a no man land in the border of Norway and Russia. They cross a lake in a wooden raft and they find some relics in a cave but they are stolen and left behind by Leif. Elizabeth spends the night with the children in a container but Sigurd and Allan continue to explore the cave. Soon they discover that the real meaning of the runes is a warning about the danger in the location where they are.
"Gåten Ragnarok" is a Norwegian B-movie with a story similar to "Anaconda" with an ancient serpent in a lake. This predictable movie is an entertaining matinée for the family in a Saturday afternoon and has wonderful cinematography and locations. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Ragnarok"
