Cowboys & Aliens


Released: 2011
Sci-fi, Western
Director: Jon Favreau
Starring: Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Daniel Craig
Running Time: 119 minutes
Rated:PG-14

The breakdown:  A man with amnesia wakes up in the desert to find a strange metal bracelet on his arm and a few cowboys threatening him.

This movie wasn't as bad as its ratings really.
Daniel Craig wakes up in the desert and can't remember who he is or what happened.  All he knows is that he has this metal bracelet on his arm and a few cowboys harassing him.  He kills the cowboys and rides into the nearest town.  There he finds more trouble as it seems he's wanted by the law for murder.  As soon as he's arrested and about to be shipped away by stagecoach, there's a little alien invasion.  Three spaceships come along and burn up the town, taking prisoners while they attack.
Pretty soon the amnesiac cowboy and the big businessman in town team up to get people who were kidnapped back.

The special effects were good, the story kinda' got silly in a few scenes, but overall, I give it a thumbs up.

2 and 1/2 out of 5 for being something different and for being a bit silly in places as well.
