According to the crew, the research for building the sets was so extensive that they could be kept as open air museums.

[@222MovieMan]

where was this filmed?

[@arranbarnett4165]

I think a lot of it was filmed in Iceland

[@connormcdade607]

Ireland is the film location

[@broganward4210]

@@222MovieMan principle photography was done around Ireland, then a week's worth of footage was shot in Iceland though it was mostly landscape/aerial shots done. I'd many friends work on it

[@simonriley4131]

@Kašpar Johan it's Kievan Rus, so the setting was probably in modern day Ukraine

[@MankindFilm]

Not a green screen in sight, the way god intended.

[@beavisroadhog9629]

Nope, just a lot of masks for the scared sheep.

[@TendaiPottinger]

This made me very happy. It felt gritty - and real, and visceral

[@DAVID__EXPO]

They used it in a few scenes such as some boat scenes and obviosly the Valhalla scene. That's how you do it. Only using it when it's impossible or veryyy difficult to do it practically. Best movie of the year along with The Batman!!

[@rudra4625]

movie has more CG than expected tho. the good kind of course

[@TheWarchiefZekeJaeger]

Which makes me wonder: How did they shot the vulcano scene.

[@jimmerhardy]

Between the time Skarsgard was fitted for his costume and filming, his shoulders and arms got ripped. Incredible.

[@222MovieMan]

Haven't seen a before or after picture of his physique from before the movie was made and during. But these guys get personal trainers to help them and some actors even get on gear. I don't know if Skarsgård did this or not but some do.

[@jimmerhardy]

@@222MovieMan Whatever was done, it worked.

[@222MovieMan]

[@jimmerhardy]

@CCP Tube There's a behind the scenes vid. Being fitted for a costume, his shoulders were not ripped. A lot of pre-filming work was done. Impressive.

Nothing like location shooting. You can tell the majority of the shots in this film were real. Stunning photography.

[@jrogers5152]

Can’t explain how much I enjoyed this film! Eggers and Skarsgard did an amazing job (as did everyone else bringing this story alive) such a great experience in the cinema.

[@VincentStevenStudio]

This movie was banger. Literally lol. Lots of drums. The score was my favorite part about it. That Valkyrie scene is a visual and auditory orgasm.

[@thestarseeker8196]

The music almost never ceases the entire film through and just adds to how semi-nightmarish the whole thing is, just amazing

[@crystalm2931]

I got teary at the Valkyrie scene the music the visuals just amazing

[@zainubalam3344]

💯 I love that scene too..and the music storm at sea ❤️🥲
