Cowboys and Aliens

Cowboys and Aliens Poster

This is exactly what the film is about funnily enough…….. (Note the sarcasm in my writing). With a solid cast it was set up to be something of a bit of a blockbuster, and that is exactly what it is. With some ridiculous effects and some good performances, this is something of a dark horse for blockbuster of the year. (Realising the fact that transformers: dark side of the moon) wasn’t what it was cracked up to be.

Starring Daniel Craig (James Bond), Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones), and the beautiful Olivia Wild (House), it is basically about Jake (Daniel Craig), wakes up in the middle of the desert not knowing his name or where he is from, and so the story starts. He eventually has to team up with his arch enemy to overcome the alien invasion, but what is interesting about this story is the relationship between Ella (Olivia Wilde) and Jake (Daniel Craig) as not everything is as it seems, which makes a good twist in the story.

The whole movie cant help feeling like a B-movie, but a good B movie at that, I and my  fiancée both really enjoyed the film surprisingly, considering I wasn’t expecting much from it, and I had heard very mixed reviews about it. But I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I would recommend the film. Probably not worth a buy but definitely worth a rent.

The soundtrack is pretty good, typical spaghetti western  music.

Overall an enjoyable experience , and definitely worth a watch.

Enjoy!
