Cowboys and Aliens - (2011)
A really enjoyable film. Not as mad as I thought it was going to be. I went in thinking it would just be an indulgant piece, just for the eight year old boys in us all, full of gunfights and laser rays and stuff (yes I’m looking at you Transformers…) but it wasn’t…
It had a story that made sense given the genre, and had some great characterisation and performances. To be honest, with the likes of Craig and Ford, I should have expected it to have a bit of meaning. Both give good performances, along with Wilde and The Last Airbender's Noah Ringer.
At times, the sense of reservement held back the film a bit too much- the pacing was slow in some places, especially for a sci-fi film. Not as good as Super 8 but all in all, it was an enjoyable film, with more heart than you’d expect…
7 out of 10.
