Angry Movie Lurker Honest Review 60: Cowboys and Aliens 2011 (3 STARS)


A man wakes up in the desert in Arizona in 1873 with no memory and a strange device on his wrist and wanders into the town of Absolution during the start of an alien scouting mission to colonize Earth.

Finally got to see this even after most reviews were not that positive about it, I never read the graphic novels that it's based on either but it's a western with a good cast and Aliens in it (it can't be bad...right!).

I'm not a great fan of Daniel Craig (except for Bond) and Harrison Ford will only ever be Indiana or Han but they work well as people who are not that nice but band together to save the people who have been abducted and stop the aliens from  leaving the planet before they bring back more friends.

The action is quite good, the CGI is good, the aliens are not bad and have a serious Midas addiction, there are a host of supporting actors who you will know, cute kid and dog (some things we have to bear) and did I say indians?

Worth a watch as I said but could have been much more but cowboys and indians fighting aliens with bullets, spears and dynamite in the desert is not something I had seen before or likely to again.
