Cowboys And Aliens (2011)

SPOILERS BELOW

I really enjoyed this. Believable characters and story (in that it realised the high-concept in an unfussy, earthy way, at least until the girl dies and turns out ot be an alien, which was a bit Chronicles Of Riddick), some ace action and effects, well directed and awesome aliens. The only niggle is that the climactic action sequence doesn't quite build up as much as I would have liked - it pretty much plateaus at ground-level hand to hand combat, I would have liked to see the aliens bring out some scarier weapons tech. Maybe the sequel...

Rating: Good.
