So a few weeks before I saw this, Daniel Craig was a brilliant detective who provided an amazing description of how he believed a murder happened. This time the mystery is Craig himself, and while he has difficulty solving it because he doesn't know who he is, he does a great job of defending himself against those who mean him harm, of speaking up for himself when he can, and he seems to be very intelligent and knows a lot about what to do in dangerous situations.
Olivia Wilde was also very good, once we found out the truth about her, and she looked good naked, or at least as naked as she could be on The CW.
Harrison Ford, despite being one of the greats, just didn't register with me here. When I figured out which one he was, I just knew I didn't like the character but his role was very important in solving the mystery and the crisis.
So this wasn't your typical Western. I guess if evil aliens are going to be the villains, this movie did it about as well as it could be done. Lots of excitement and good visual effects. Lots of destruction by the enemy. Not much in the way of character development for the aliens, which makes it more like "War of the Worlds", but some amazing efforts to defeat what seemingly can't be defeated.
And great scenery. And great sets for the big battle.
I can like Westerns and I can like movies with evil aliens. I wouldn't say this was one of my favorites, but it might be worthwhile.
