An outlaw (Daniel Craig) with a weapon on his wrist is a stranger in a town. He meets Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) to battle the aliens. Soundtrack and screenplay were descent. The battles and locations were wonderful. If only better character development, storytelling and origins of the aliens were delved into. Acting was solid and believable as well. Cowboys & Aliens is a pleasant mix of two film genre's filled with action sequences that is unique despite the lack of a better plot. |

Coming back to his town knowing nothing about himself, Jake Lonergan, accused of criminal acts including murdering a woman, has to find answers to his and people's question. Mysteries connected to an alien invasion on their town.
***
Western plus aliens in one film is really awesome! Very good concept, and great combination. The film executed a good concept well. The good thing about this film is that it holds your interest all through out. The mystery of what those extraterrestrial creatures want while discovering the antagonist's life.
VERY GOOD CONCEPT. RECOMMENDED! |

"Cowboys & Aliens" by Yojimbo |
|
An outlaw with total amnesia teams up with the local townsfolk, his old gang and the last surviving members of an Apache tribe to rescue their people stolen away by body snatching aliens. I have to say that the little kid inside of me loved the idea of matching six gun toting outlaws against flying saucers and the set up to Cowboys & Aliens actually lives up to the idea really well. Daniel Craig makes an extremely charismatic tough guy with no name and the opening scenes as he tries to discover what happened to him are great. It does lose its way a little as the aliens creep more and more into the story but it throws itself into the preposterous premise with such abandon you can't help but get carried away by its sheer enthusiasm. It would have been a more satisfying experience if we'd le... |

Not since the series, ‘The Wild, Wild West’ (Robert Conrad) of the late 60’s has there been a solid Hollywood attempt to mix the standard cowboy western with something approaching science fiction. ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ makes a solid effort with this cross-genre action picture. Played as a straight up western from the start, the film manages to stay true to those roots throughout most of the story.

Cowboys & Aliens review |
|
I was really looking forward to seeing Cowboys & Aliens, but the movie just didn't work very well. It was a big disappointment. The movie has a great cast. Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, and Paul Dano. The movie also has a pretty good director, Jon Favreau. He is best know for his comedies like elf, and his superhero movies, like Iron Man one and two. This is no superhero movie, and there is really no comedy in this movie. So this is a different type of movie for him. You know when you heard about this movie, you really wanted to see it, I mean it's a western with Sci-Fi thrown in. That seems cool. It is sort of cool, but that idea needed to be in a better movie. You probably already know the plot from the title. It's Cowboys vs Aliens, well that is what the movi... |
