    The Reception section of the Wikipedia article[0] for this film is a real mix. I kind of want to see it, partly because I'm a sucker for both Vikings and airships, but also to see how critics could be so scattered in their opinions of the film.

    I remember an obscure Disney movie that had people in airships looking for islands in the Arctic - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Island_at_the_Top_of_the_World Great fun for a seven year old.
