At the Theater - "Cowboys & Aliens" - Think "Silverado" mixed with "Independence Day." Although it has a B-Movie vibe to the action and effects (the CGI being a bit underdone and too gaudy for my tastes), it's a perfectly acceptable closure to the marquee summer movies of 2011 because of the acting excellence and scenery chewing of Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford.
Olivia Wilde's pretty enough, but there were moments in the film in which I thought her face was digitally rendered- a bit too "perfect" for the proceedings, I guess. The film is filled with great character actors like Clancy Brown (The Highlander), Sam Rockwell (Moon) and Keith Carridine (Southern Comfort), all putting in very good work.
The movie is a bit uneven, slightly cheesy, sometimes frightening (for the younger set) but with some good give-and-take dialogue from a very good cast and a solid amount of fun. Go in expecting something along the lines of "Tremors" or "Deep Rising" and you should be pleased enough.
