    Cowboys & Aliens

    Looks like they're taking it in a really serious direction...


    HD LINK


    1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (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 (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.

    WTF?

    But hey, looks like Hollywood has found something that hasn't been done before and are making a *gasp* original movie!!!

    Although it's just reminded me that I have "Outlander" on BD, so the "aliens V's old fashioned folk" has been done before I suppose...must give it a watch anyway.
    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    OK! I'm starting to get interested now... And that has nothing to do with Olivia Wilde being nakid! Honest
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    21 reviews and 52% on rotten tomatoes. Ouch.

    I'm still hoping for the best. You can't trust many critics these days. They're too....well...critical.

    I'll just see it because Harrison Ford is in it.
    How many times has he played the President of the USA? Several, right?
    Need to see 'What Lies Beneath' too...
