Daniel Craig Cowboys and Aliens COWBOYS & ALIENS is a movie I really want to get excited about and see in motion. It comes from Director John Favreau (IRON MAN, ELF) who has recently been placed on Hollywood's hot list of directors due to his work with Marvel on the Iron Man movies. The movie stars Daniel Craig (CASINO ROYALE, LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER) as a lone cowboy who lost his memory and Harrison Ford (STAR WARS, HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE) as a disgruntled colonel who does not take kindly to strangers. The idea of a movie where Cowboys and Indians are fighting and then must put their differences aside to ward of a alien threat sounds fantastic to me. Blending the old west style with alien technology should prove pretty awesome on screen and I am thirsting for a trailer for this bad boy since I missed the footage at Comicon San Diego this year. Thanks to Yahoo Movies for the picture below.
COWBOYS & ALIENS opens JULY 29th 2011
Cowboys and Aliens
Who doesn't like a good old Western film, with cowboys, indians and...aliens? What?! Cowboys & Aliens is just that, the newest film directed by Jon Favreau starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde. It's the 1980's and Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) wakes up in the desert with no memories of his past or who he is. All he has is a strange shackle around his wrist and a photo of a woman. He goes to the town of Absolution that is run by cattle owner Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) where he soon finds out he is a wanted criminal. A mysterious woman, Ella (Olivia Wilde), seems to know who he is and what he went through but she won't say a thing. When alien spacecrafts fly into town and abducts many of the townsfolk, including the colonel's son, Jake discovers the object clamped onto his wrist is the only successful weapon that will take down the aliens. Jake, Colonel Dolarhyde and the townspeople join forces with bandits and Indians to bring down the aliens and rescue their friends and family.
Cowboys and Aliens? Come on! There was no real plot at all and you never really fully know what is going on. There's always such a thin line between who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. Wait until you find out who Olivia Wilde's character actually is - how can they accept it so calmly? Things are never fully explained. There are the makings of a good western movie - the stranger in town, hold ups, Indians, but when you add in the aliens...The aliens have really great detail, though they looked pretty silly to me. There's some good acting with Ford and Craig but there isn't that much else to this movie. I must say though, Daniel Craig does make a good cowboy (better than a James Bond)! Some explosions, lots of shooting, go see this movie for the visual effects but don't expect much of a storyline - you'll be leaving the theatre with lots of questions.
