Cowboys & Aliens

Movie: Cowboys & Aliens
Genre: sci-fi-western
Synopsis: Set in the Arizona town of Absolution in the 1870’s.  Jake (Daniel Craig) awakens in the middle of the desert with a strange wound, a strange looking metal wrist band and no memory of anything. Woodrow (Harrison Ford) is the local cattle baron who runs the town.  The two make an uneasy alliance to battle aliens who have arrived in a spaceship and are abducting humans.  Joining them to get revenge for the loss of her family is Ella (Olivia Wilde).

My two cents: This was certainly a new entry in the science fiction/western genres.  Although there are a lot of holes in the plot, I found the movie to be pretty enjoyable.  Harrison Ford is really perfecting the portrayal of a grizzled old man.
