mimartin Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 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. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yeah, saw an ad for this before Deathly Hallows. Definitely one I plan to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endorenna Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That looks mildly interesting. I might go see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I'll most likely wait for it to come out on video. I rarely, if ever, go to the theater anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yeah, they definitely could have been just a bit more creative with the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 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?

mimartin Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 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) 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. I was sold at "Jon Faverau". Aside from Elf, I don't think I've been disappointed with anything he's done. Blasphemer, I shall not listen to someone badmouth Elf in my presents and so close to Christmas at that.

Darth Avlectus Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 That wrist thing looks awesome. I might give a look-see if slush snow doesn't have me fixing my snowblower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 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 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Definitely seeing it. The premise strikes me as a bit goofy, but you can't go wrong with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 ok, yeah, i'm definitely interested. sounds like it could fare better than The Warrior's Way, and that's saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
