Cowboys and Aliens

[mimartin]

Just goofing around on IMDb today and I came across Cowboys and Aliens. At first I thought it was going to be something kiddy like Aliens in the Attic. First I saw Olivia Wilde, and thought Thirteen, I’ll go see that. Then I saw Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford and I am sold. Grew up a big fan of the western, then when Star Wars came out I was sold on the fantasy/scifi, not I get the best of both worlds.

Thoughts?

Oh wow... I'm interested.

 

I hardly ever go and see movies at the theatre any more, but I think I'll definitely go see this one.

[The Doctor]

Yeah, saw an ad for this before Deathly Hallows. Definitely one I plan to see.

[Endorenna]

That looks mildly interesting. I might go see it.

[Achilles]

Caught the preview when I took my son to see the new Harry Potter movie (my first, his 27th or however many there've been).

 

I was sold at "Jon Faverau". Aside from Elf, I don't think I've been disappointed with anything he's done.

I'll most likely wait for it to come out on video. I rarely, if ever, go to the theater anymore.

[CommanderQ]

The title throws me off completely...so goofy, yet oddly, seriously awesome I will see this movie just cuz' it seems to have potential for greatness (albeit, it could be one of those not-so-famous-yet-famous cult classics )

[Q]

Yeah, they definitely could have been just a bit more creative with the title.

[Ctrl Alt Del]

Cowboys versus aliens premise? Don't think I've ever seen those two together, might be an welcome addition to the weathered alien invasion plot movies and... cowboys movies? I don't dare say western spaghetti since it's obviouslt not. There are just cowboys in it.

 

Still, some great names there: Favreau, Spielberg and... crappy visual effects? I'm not one to bitch on the visuals but, damn, the spaceships bombing the town at 1:30 was just poorly done by today standards. I saw the same technique (or at least very similar) being done over and over again on Independece Day. And, God, do I see a rope pulling the cowboy at 1:33?

Welcome to my world. Seen them all with my cousins. I would set through them a hundred more times if it meant not having to watch movies like The Tooth Fairy and Hannah Montana again.

Blasphemer, I shall not listen to someone badmouth Elf in my presents and so close to Christmas at that.

That wrist thing looks awesome. I might give a look-see if slush snow doesn't have me fixing my snowblower.

[Titanius Anglesmith]

I've been following this movie for a while, and yes, it looks damn impressive.

 

Some people have been ragging on Ford's acting in the trailer, but I don't really get it. Seems like a perfectly good portrayal of an old, washed up sheriff to me.

[Ping]

Definitely seeing it. The premise strikes me as a bit goofy, but you can't go wrong with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig.

[stingerhs]

ok, yeah, i'm definitely interested. sounds like it could fare better than The Warrior's Way, and that's saying something.

[Astor]

The idea is so silly it has to be good.
