Cowboys and Aliens


Actually I haven't watched the movie yet.

The thing is, I'm really not fond of Daniel Craig. Not saying that he's not a good actor, but he really doesn't strike me as a JAMES BOND. After watching Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan, Daniel really doesn't seem handsome enough for a Bond. He is decent looking compared to an average uncle, but a Bond should be held to a higher standard. It's like, Bumblebee is okay-sized for an average Transformer, but he has to take some EnfaGrow if he wants to be a Prime. Different criteria for different positions.

Coming to the movie itself, first up, I would like to say that all the movies about humans bravely fighting off alien invaders are garbage. If aliens really came and wanted to take over the planet, that would be it. Humans might be able to fight a guerrilla war to make things troublesome, but in a straight up fight, human technology against aliens that can cross light-years to reach us would be like spears and arrows going against machine guns and tanks.

However, given that from the trailer, Daniel has a weird-looking device on his arm that can shoot energy pulses, my guess to the storyline is as thus:

1. Humans have already been subjugated by aliens in the future.

2. Somehow they got hold of some alien technology (Daniel's arm device)

3. Somehow they sent him back in time to defeat the aliens when they first arrived.

Let's see whether my guess is right or not!
