"You have to see it to believe it. That's what they say. It's the opposite. You have to believe in something to see it. Can you seen them, Nora? Go on. Try. Look. Not with your eyes. With your heart. Believe." – Tobias Tidemann

Why watch this? There is something fantastical and allegorical about trolls. They appear when humanity needs a reminder or our horrible actions.

Plot Summary: When an explosion in the Norwegian mountains awakens an ancient troll from its slumber, it begins a rampage towards Oslo, the capital. A paleontologist, Nora Tidemann, along with a diverse group of scientists and officials, is tasked with stopping the creature. They must find a way to stop the colossal creature, a being thought only to exist in folklore, from destroying the city.

Dad's Preview: This engrossing Norwegian flick impressed me from its opening scenes. A drilling operation awakens a gigantic troll, who escapes and somehow wanders the landscape undetected. This film eventually gives a great troll origin story, and helps us understand why mankind wiped them out, and why they keep fighting for our planet.
