Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe sound that you hear over Oslo when the troll is near is the sound of flight alert or 'Flyalarmen'. It is mostly used to make people known about an coming threat, like a terror attack, a gas leak or an earthquake. This sound is tested twice a year. The last time it was played for real was in Oslo in 2011. It's actually the exact same as the Swedish VMA. (Important message for the public).
- GoofsIn the beginning of the film one of the paleontologists is shown digging to find dinosaur fossils but what she is digging in is a peat bog. Peat can be several metres thick and is soaked in water, any dig without excavating equipment will immediately fill with water. Fossils, if any, would be in the rock below. Therefore, this is a pointless endeavour, without excavating equipment and cofferdams.
- Quotes
Nora Tidemann: Are you crying?
Tobias Tidemann: It's my pine allergy. I'm allergic to forests.

Featured review
Watching this I thought it's just going to be your average monster action movie... and you know what? It is. So yeah it delivered that big monster itch.
Here's the thing however...is that the human aspect of this movie is not it. They're too campy and not in a good way. Just one dimensional. You got those authority figures who are stupid and one minded. The underdog main character who stomps on authority because they're brave that way who clearly knows more but isn't being listened to...etc. The set-up is just too obvious that any emotional deviation doesn't feel right because it's done in a shallow way.
The Troll had some backstory depth going for it but alas it's put on the backburner because this is ultimately a humans win movie. They wasted that plot and just went with the typical "Monster bad, must kill".
Would rate it 5.5 but rounding it up coz I like their depiction of the Troll. But anyway overall it's a good enough monster flick. The CGI is believable. Action wise, it's not as destructive and packed as like Pacific Rim for example, pretty tame tbh. Good for a weekend watch.
