CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
earafat100 This is going to be spoiler-free review, so let me just say this movie is real bad. It's not even pleasing to look at. You;d think there would be some nice shots of the scenery since it is a pseudo-western film, but often times the camera is way too close to a person, colors are overly saturated or the contrast is too high. You would think with the premise of the wild west and aliens would be fun or exciting, but instead the fell flat and seemed joyless.
leethomas-11621 Western movie with a sci-fi twist. But still a 1950s-like B movie. Why did such top actors get involved in this? Made it to last half hour.
ComedyFan2010 Well the title itself tells us all what to expect and if this is appealing to you you should enjoy this movie. Maybe one's expectations can be too high but even then one gets both elements of western and sci fi in it to be entertained.Western is pretty much a dead genre. One really doesn't see many of these movies being made. Maybe it is because so many have been done in the past and some feel it all has been shown. In this case just add some aliens to it. After all if one makes a sci fi movie about aliens invading the Earth it could have happened in the past centuries!So we get a lot of elements from the typical Western movies that we get to enjoy in a nostalgic way but then the aliens come and the movie becomes so much more entertaining.The casting is absolutely perfect. All actors fit perfectly to their part and act in a real Western style. Maybe one could make the aliens more sophisticated than just monsters attacking, but this would change the style of the movie. Make it a more philosophical sci fi/western. In my opinion it was best to leave it this way to make it feel more like a western with lots of action.
Kingslaay Cowboys vs Aliens brought a fantasy to life. We saw Cowboys in the nostalgic and memorable Wild West take on Aliens in a fun filled action film. While this film may not go on to claim many awards, it certainly has high entertainment value and delivers some great action. Daniel Craig is great as the star of this fantasy/western film and nothing is out of limits in this action packed film. Instead of a traditional bad guy vs outlaw turned good guy we see aliens thrown in the mix which works fairly well and is plain fun to watch. 7/10
