Seems like a wasted opportunity.

Daft storyline and just too short.

I wanted to just say the top 2 paragraphs but IMDB said I have to use 600 words so here

i go. Very slow most of the time and the action was a bit kind of choeographed more alike to a ballet.

The acting was mediocre and the plot was hair thin.

I wanted more of a social structure tale about how humans adapted and started rebuilding but there was none of that.

The last scene was silly beyond words.

I just tried to submit but it still wont let me.

The direction was rushed and flawed for me but there you go.

I just tried again and it still wont let me.

The geography was all over the place and filled with goofs.

I can't decide for myself to be perfectly honest. Looking at reviews you either love it or hate it..much like your wifes family. Personally i loved it...but i can't stand my wifes family so I'm no expert.

Ok..the violence is graphic but it's not dwelled upon..it comes and goes as it does in real life...no build up or loud music.

The real cowboy /alien crossover movie. Tried before with Cowboy V Aliens and that George Clooney one...this is much better.

Go see it if you want ...I don't really care..I've got better things to do. Besides , i'm depressed as my wifes family have just arrived.

This, along with most people my age...is what started my love of cinema. Not DVD or download...CINEMA!! To see this on a big screen in a dark theater is storytelling at it's finest. Performances all deserve full marks and direction is flawless. Sound , script, editing, humor,tension,empathy,lighting,production all exceeds. In it's field you will not see better. Steven Spielberg is a master of narrative and suspense....for me outdoing Hitchcock every step of the way. Robert Shaw takes over every scene he is in...I haven't seen an actor do that since Jack Lemon..and more recently Denzil Washington in Fences. Full of bite.
