Based off of a graphic novel, the premise is at first extremely ridiculous, but really, when you consider all the alien invasion movies out there, why is it inconceivable that aliens could show up during the old west?

Craig and Harrison Ford are extremely interesting together, however the rest of the cast is more fluffy than fulfilling. The plot is simple, but the reason why most people will criticize it harshly is because it feels more like a Saturday morning cartoon show. Olivia Wilde's role seemed a little thrown together.

The story itself didn't impress me; the concept could have had major opportunity.
