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 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. First contact. Last stand. Action Sci-Fi Thriller Western. Rated PG for intense sequences of western and sci-fi action and violence, some partial nudity and a brief crude reference.
Did you know Edit. Trivia Director Jon Favreau was constantly harassed with demands to shoot or convert the film in 3-D, but he held his ground, claiming Westerns should only be shot on film.
Goofs When Woodrow and the rest of the men on the trail of the aliens arrive on horseback at the upturned boat, it is raining heavily. However, no rainwater appears to be dripping off the brims of the men's hats. Quotes Jake Lonergan : I've been shot. Connections Featured in The Hour: Episode 7. User reviews Review. Top review. Looks good, superb cast but painfully predictable. Its ; New Mexico Territory; an Outlaw and a Cattle Rancher must put aside their differences to stop Alien invaders hellbent on experimenting on humans and stripping the land of its gold.
There's something kooky about the title Cowboys and Aliens, B-movie-ish, yet, exciting, enticing and genius. However, even with the star talents including Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, with the striking Olivia Wilde and excellent Sam Rockwell Cowboys and Aliens still falls short of expectations.
The script is bland, every effort has gone into developing the two main leads but at a cost of the rest of the characters, the basic story and plot. The special and practical effects are well integrated and executed but while fantastic they are nothing that hasn't been seen before, reminiscent of District 9, Independence Day to name a few.
Considering director's Jon Favreau fun and exciting Iron-man outings this offering is less satisfying. It's not the mishmash of classic genres that's the problem, it's the lazy, predicable story telling. The films opening is strong and intriguing, building up to the tension of Ford's character Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde meeting with Craig's Jake; its Jones meets Bond, perfect.
Both are excellent giving weight to the proceedings. Horses are flipped, guns and gauntlets go wild, aliens leap and stomp on cowboys. But after the first few alien attacks the film wavers onto familiar territory. Although it has a fabulous cast beneath its hat and sweeping, breathtaking Western landscapes under it's belt - it buckles under it's own weight. Even with its somewhat serious tone it's not brave enough to explore or commit to its own themes leaving it underdeveloped.
But it also omits much needed fun leaving the whole film unseasoned and as empty as the plains of Arizona. Debatably, flop Wild Wild West infused the sci-fi and Western genre more successfully. Cowboys and Aliens is entertaining, it looks good, has a superb cast but it's painfully predictable and just not that great. FAQ 7. Did Liev Schreiber have an uncredited role as the the bad guy who took over Longeran's gang in this film?
