Member Rating:  
Based on the graphic novel by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, Cowboys & Aliens is set in 1800s Arizona, where the local cowboys, headed by gunslinger Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig), and the indigenous Apache tribe have been feuding fiercely for quite a while. Their skirmish is interrupted, however, by the appearance of a spaceship, commanded by an alien creature that's bent on enslaving the human race. It's time for a six-gun shoot-out between these cattle rustlers and space invaders, and there might even be a temporary peace between the cowboys and Indians as they both take aim at these extraterrestrial uninvited guests. Jon Favreau directs from a script by Star Trek scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, with help from Lost's Damon Lindelof. Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, and Sam Rockwell fill out the headlining cast. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

I just now got back from the theater and all I have to say is A M A Z I N G ! If you are bored with the same old genre, then this movie is for you. A great mix of old west meets alien invasion. This is no ET. Think Western meets Predator. Great action, special effects and overall concept. When the towns people of the old west have their loved ones taken by aliens, they look to one man to help them get them back. An otherworldly weapon is used to fight fire with fire after he escapes abduction with more than he came with. Honest towns folk, Outlaws and even the Native indians come together with a common goal to save the Earth. Lots of violence and plenty of gross out scenes but it is all worth it. Small ones may be a little unsettled but depending on their maturity, this movie is great for just about anyone of any age and even stars the boy from Last Airbender.

OK. It wasn't as good as I suspected. If they just made a movie without the aliens it would have been a lot better. The normal western scenes before the aliens arrive were tremendous. Then the aliens come. They weren't scary or real convincing, and didn't have real personalities. The plot just gets even weirder from then and the end just left me unsatisfied.. It's fun though. It's the kind of movie you would rent with your friends and watch while eating popcorn because it's a good time. not a real great movie.

The critics are wrong. If you've seen the trailer, this movie is everything and more that you hoped it would be. Five star summer entertainment.
