Cowboys and Aliens (2011)


There is a deadly earnestness throughout this weird hybrid sci-fi western that jars with 1) its occasional vague comedy 2) its nods to alien horror classics, and 3) the fact that Harrison Ford looks like he is trying hard not to roll his eyes; viewers will take time working out this is not a parody a la Mars Attacks, not an absurd genre mashup like Wild Wild West but a film adaptation of a fanboy graphic novel that has misfired (and perhaps Harrison Ford knows it).

★★☆☆☆
