Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011) by Nikki W — 17 Aug 2012

One of the most unique movies I've seen, this really mixes it up! I love the old style Cowboy era and this feels very reminiscent of movies in that genre.

What's interesting about this film is the very up to date sci-fi element. The Cowboys in question just take it all in their stride and Daniel Craig in particular means business! He's well suited to this type of role and does a lot without needing to say much! Harrison Ford is also very good in his gruff leader type role and Olivia Wilde is great as one of the few females fighting alongside the men. With a few surprises along the way this is a very enjoyable sci-fi movie with a twist!
