This is a nice little slab of weirdness. Not the best acting, although not bad either. Odd storyline. Fairly low budget. But there are some interesting ideas, and I love the aesthetics of it. A challenging mix of sci-fi, classic war film, horror and psychological drama. No, not great, but it kept my interest until the end and I was glad to have seen it.

This movie forces the Watcher to interrogate himself on what the process of picking up a movie instead of another, consists of. Is it the title, the location where it is set, the period, the plot, the actors/actresses? ... good, I guess i filled up the minimum five lines by now and therefore I can start the review itself. Which is the following: if reading a telephone book is for you a waste of time and a most boring occupation, then I suggest you do it instead of watching Outpost 11. At least you will find out how many funny names people can have.

watchable, but, supposedly set in war years, But some of the technology that is used?? One of those silly watchable things. Part funny part what the ?? The Captain or whatever rank, goes out hunting local animals which seem to explode. same as the steam boiler they have, seems about ready to explode at any time, The lower rank, does the cooking cleaning and everything, with a middle rank with doubtful faculties having him go into the boiler room, which he hates. The middle rank with acrophobia, had a problem on his hand, until he cuts it out. And so it goes on with spiders coming out of the woodwork. and every where else. It then seems to jump a bit, not sure, played section a few time to check, still not sure. Then all sorts of back flash etc. supposed funny phone calls etc. Gets even sillier. You need to watch for the silly outcome. If you want a movie with predictable outcome. do not watch this.

I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. The cinematography is slow, steady and sometimes a bit too unimaginative. Meaning that it is something we have seen many times before. This is not an action flick or a classic sci-fi movie. The idea of steampowered alternate past is enticing. But it seems to do very little for the actual story.The only thing I could not let go was the fact that they slept at night and worked in the daylight. The arctic circle does not work that way! It is not a 24 hour cycle. But apart from that, a quiet movie leaving you a few thoughts for a few days.
