At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreSomebody thought it was a good idea to have extra-terrestrial creatures invade the Wild West and make it into a movie. The whole idea sounds very juvenile and the end result resembles a movie fitting for children but with the horror violence and gore added to attract mature audiences. Take away the horror violence and gore and this movie could have easily been made into a cartoon for children.The end result is atrocious. There is not one single redeeming feature about this movie. Poor acting, terrible CGI and dodgy special effects done on the cheap, sloppy anachronistic attention to detail, and an even worse story. It might have been a low budget movie, but it definitely shows.The dialogue was very unrealistic given the time period. Surely the screenwriters, the producers and the director would have done a bit of research and learnt from previous Western movies or even gone on the internet. It doesn't have to rip off famous movies from Clint Eastwood, John Wayne or Charles Bronson but surely they could have paid more attention to detail. A total insult to all Westerns.The movie was so bad, I stopped watching the movie after 40 minutes as I could not waste a minute longer watching this rubbish. I didn't really care for how it ended as I felt it would be very predictable.1/10 (if I could give this 1/2 a star I would).
... View MoreThis movie is a bad acted sad performance. The only thing that I can find as positive is the bugs. They are well animated and look fine. That's why I rated this movie with a 3. Some score for the bugs. Also the spaceship is animated nicely. The actors really need some actor lessons - it's to awful to watch. The girl who plays the bounty hunter is the most bad actress I ever seen in a movie. The first scene with the farmer who carries uranium is also not acting how it should be. His answers are cold and it's like he reads his text from a text board.The movie is not going fast enough and the dialogs are to slow and boring. No, sorry this is not how it should be.
... View MoreThis movie is a complete waste of time. Poor acting, poor directing, amazingly poor script and 1990's looking CGI, the budget for this movie should have gone to a project that was worthwhile. While the first few scenes of this movie fool anyone into thinking this is going to be a gripping Sci-Fi Western, it is far from it. Almost every scene is predictable. Being a paid actor, it shouldn't be that hard to play a bad as gun slinging shooter. Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Yule Brenner and John Wayne and so many more have left behind a massive library to learn from. Somehow the crew behind this movie seemed to have missed the basics that are taught from so many movies. The actors may have had a better shot if the scripting and directing had some talent behind them, but even a poorly scripted and directed movie with someone like Clint Eastwood still is enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreLet me start off by saying that it's better than most of the pot boiler Sci Fi channel movies. It makes a tiny bit of pseudo science fiction sense.I'll start off with a pet peeve of mine, ridiculous gun handling. They mixed extremely modern guns with period guns with no rhyme or reason. Modern Smith and Wesson revolvers in stainless steel with modern target sights and ventilated ribs are used side by side with ones that almost could be period. It's sloppy, very sloppy.It's no gem. It's pleasant, something to watch when you've had a bad day and are just in the mood to relax to something mindless. Unfortunately I found many of the characters ridiculously bad. The worst was the woman bounty hunter. She was just too 21st century politically correct, but she wasn't the only one.
