1875. New Mexico Territory. A stranger (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival. (Universal Pictures US)

Disparate total que era de esperar segundo o título. Por sorte é bastante engraçado e divertido de ver, as poucas frases valeram a pena. Os índios atirando flechas a criaturas espaciais com arcos é definitivamente a coisa mais louca a ver nos cinemas este verão, exceto talvez Os Smurfs. Perfeitamente louco. Afinal, já há coisas ilógicas suficientes, Olivia Wilde é tão irritante como aquele miúdo mexicano, e é uma enorme pena que o duro Ford se amoleça no último terço. Uma diversão pouco exigente? Sem dúvidas.

Uma ideia «espantosa», que nuns segundos estragou a mensagem do quarto Indiana, prolongada em duas horas. Parece bom no início: O cowboy feroz de Craig é fixe, o mundo de western é bem-feito, o primeiro contacto com os extraterrestres é mágico, o humor e a leveza são adequados, os efeitos visuais são perfeitos, e os E. T.s são consideravelmente melhores do que a toupeira de Super 8. A partir da cena de saída do incêndio, porém, as boas impressões começam a diminuir, e a cadência subsequente de relações entre personagens clichés mal-feitos e de momentos ilógicos nas cenas de ação enterra tudo. Os argumentistas pensavam que quanto mais se divertiam, mais o espetador se divertia... Cowboys e índios das pradarias americanas, unam-se num mundo idealista contra os nazis extraterrestres que pensam que vocês são insetos e querem roubar o vosso ouro! — Bullshit.

I am afraid that the length and content of the script did not exceed the title of the film, which promised a great adventure, and in combination with the talented creative team, ideal popcorn entertainment. The first approximately 15 minutes are divine, Craig is the ultimate tough guy, the canvas shirts smell of sweat, and everyone is carrying their guns low. Then Ford enters the scene, showcasing the most ridiculous toughness in the history of the Wild West, and everything is crowned by an absolutely asexual outfit à la Olivia Wilde's nightgown. The plot takes place in a total of 3 larger locations (with the majority of them being the wasteland of New Mexico), a larger amount of ILM fantasizing, so you can also search for it under a microscope, which raises the question: where did the 163 million from the budget go? From the beginning of the second third, it's perpetually echoing boredom, which this commercial failure fully deserves. The worst blockbuster from approximately 2-3 years ago.

The women have secrets, the guys have rifles and the aliens have claws. The division of roles is just as clear as in a classic western, which applies also to the character played by Olivia Wilde, who is finally allowed to do more than just soften the impudence of the guys with her presence. Despite that, the climax doesn’t leave any doubt as to whether the good old Wild West needs women or aliens. The director’s filmography leads us to believe the opposite, but Cowboys and Aliens creates a better impression during the purely western scenes, not in the sci-fi elements. The resounding music and the camerawork making full use of the screen, recalling the times when westerns ruled. The hackneyed alien plot is dragged down to earth by the exaggerated seriousness. Though the film would need humour, the scenes without the strange parasites and with a westernised Daniel Craig are sometimes funny, at least because of the actor’s fierce tenacity. Harrison Ford has a smaller presence, though I believe his few lines are appropriately impactful. Cowboys and Aliens is summer entertainment that places minimal demands on the viewer. In some ways, such as its simple understanding of the world and emphasis on outdated manliness, it is reminiscent of the kind of films that are no longer made today. However, it didn’t manage to convince me that I should regret the fact that such films are becoming increasingly rare. 60%

Wow! There really isn’t even a pinch of humour. Something like Cowboys and Aliens could never be good this way, even with the greatest genius behind the camera. To make with a serious face a film where a group of cowboys and Indians avert an invasion of aliens that have come to earth to mine gold (oops, spoiler) is mental. If it at least looked good, but no, not even that, it’s just two hours of grey and boredom. Not even the aliens are good!
