[quote] 1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents--townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors--all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.[/quote]This looks pretty cool.

Re: Cowboys and Aliens

So was I mate.

  1. Movie was 1hr 58 mins, wtf. WAY TOO LONG for a movie like that, and it shows in the plot.

  2. Plot wasn't tight, took forever to move.

  3. Couldn't decide if it was B-grade or serious, too many cliches—as was the script.

  4. Alien design was meh.

Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, and Olivia Wilde all did their jobs, I thought Wilde was particularly good, the way she acted at the beginning of the movie right up to the 'reveal' which explained her mannerism.

I think a movie title and premise like Cowboys and Aliens needs to take itself less seriously, more over the top, and more action. It should've been something like Woody Harrelson in Zombieland, but with Cowboys and Aliens instead.

Re: Cowboys and Aliens

I'm sorry but how can anyone expect this to be good? This is the kind of movie Id watch if I had a TV in my toilet...to get inspired for a clean bowel movement. Downloaded, watched blazed off my face, deleted...end of story.
