We meet a half alien half human called Rana, who can transform into a silvery skinned human who needs to organise a big celebration for her boss. It is quick it is simple and yet it has a lot happening which doesn’t fell too rushed or packed. Together they find out much more about each other’s species and perhaps a l I really enjoyed this story set in the Colony World. During her preparation for this event she meets cowboy Byron, who has lost all his cattle except for one baby calf in his care. Cowboys and Aliens is entertaining, it looks good, has a superb cast but it's painfully predictable and just not that great.I really enjoyed this story set in the Colony World.

Debatably, flop Wild Wild West (1999) infused the sci-fi and Western genre more successfully. But it also omits much needed fun leaving the whole film unseasoned and as empty as the plains of Arizona. Even with its somewhat serious tone it's not brave enough to explore or commit to its own themes leaving it underdeveloped. Although it has a fabulous cast beneath its hat and sweeping, breathtaking Western landscapes under it's belt - it buckles under it's own weight.

But after the first few alien attacks the film wavers onto familiar territory. Horses are flipped, guns and gauntlets go wild, aliens leap and stomp on cowboys. Both are excellent giving weight to the proceedings. The films opening is strong and intriguing, building up to the tension of Ford's character Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde meeting with Craig's Jake its Jones meets Bond, perfect. It's not the mishmash of classic genres that's the problem, it's the lazy, predicable story telling. Considering director's Jon Favreau fun and exciting Iron-man outings this offering is less satisfying. The special and practical effects are well integrated and executed but while fantastic they are nothing that hasn't been seen before, reminiscent of District 9, Independence Day to name a few. The script is bland, every effort has gone into developing the two main leads but at a cost of the rest of the characters, the basic story and plot. However, even with the star talents including Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, with the striking Olivia Wilde and excellent Sam Rockwell Cowboys and Aliens still falls short of expectations. There's something kooky about the title Cowboys and Aliens, B-movie-ish, yet, exciting, enticing and genius. Its 1873 New Mexico Territory an Outlaw and a Cattle Rancher must put aside their differences to stop Alien invaders hellbent on experimenting on humans and stripping the land of its gold. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents-townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors-all in danger of annihilation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known. But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford).
