Cowboys and Aliens
After the other discussions about upcoming films, I thought this would deserve its own thread. Is anyone else here looking forward to "Cowboys and Aliens"? It will come out on July 29th in the USA and around the world the weeks after.
Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford together in an action adventure produced by Steven Spielberg - a combination of western and sci-fi - that can't be bad.  For the ones who never heard of it - here are the trailers and tv spots. http://www.youtube.com/cowboysandaliensfilm So what do you think of it? |

I'm cautiously looking forward to it. The talent behind it is frankly awesome but I do fear that it will degenerate into a plot light, braindead, special effects laden extravaganza. One thing in particular that does bug me at this stage is that the aliens tech features lots of blue lighting, as seen in far too many Science-Fiction films at the moment. If you don't know what I'm referring to then look no further than the farcical rubbish that is "Skyline"...
 "Don't Watch It" more like.

They should definitely switch the lighting to bright orange once and awhile. Just to spice things up. Or olive green!

I, too, am cautiously optimistic.
The concept sounds so cheesy, but in an awesome sort of way. Does that make sense? Probably not. I will however probably be spending the entire movie wishing that Harrison Ford was Han Solo. |

There's actually going to be a movie called Cowboys and Aliens? Well, stranger things have happened and worked out well I guess.

I have nothing but good feelings about this movie, but the article on the color palettes does put a sour taste in my mouth.

I definitely want to see this. Harrison Ford is easily one of my most favorite actors who ever lived. I think he is my favorite, I think I could easily say that, I think I'm saying that he is...
Nah, but he is pretty awesome. And, of course the movie looks pretty good, but simple minded at time, but maybe it will be intellectual. But...I'm just looking for a action/ adventure sci fi film. |

I am looking forward to this, I have been looking forward to it ever since I saw it on the upcoming list on IMDB. And it will give me something to do when I visit my boyfriend here in August.

They released a new trailer. Looks great if you ask me.

A movie called 'Cowboys and Aliens'? Sounds boring.
Now, 'Aliens and Cowboys'. THAT sounds awesome; it's about an alien planet that was suddenly attacked by evil cowboys!

The thing is, red is technically not a very strong color, in a literal sense. For example, a red or yellow flame is less hot than a blue flame. And to take an extreme case, while infrared is relatively harmless to humans, ultraviolet isn't.
So yeah, blue lasers. Also, aliens apparently hate Axel F. |

I have been a fan of wild western movies and Steven Spielburg. I'm willing to give the movie a shot. I don't know if I'll like it or not, but it's better than nothing.
