To quote movie guru Roger Ebert: “Here is a movie set in 1873 with cowboys, aliens, Apaches, horses, spaceships, a murdering stagecoach robber, a preacher, bug-eyed monsters, a bartender named Doc, a tyrannical rancher who lives outside a town named Absolution, his worthless son, two sexy women, bandits, a magic bracelet, an ancient Indian cure for amnesia, a symbolic hummingbird, a brave kid with a spyglass, and a plucky dog who follows the good guys for miles and miles through the barren waste and must be plumb tuckered out.” Sheesh. Got that?
It’s a mish-mash from the minds of Jon Favreau and Steven Spielberg, and since it interweaves so many genres doesn’t always work out so well. It is however an interesting experiment and one worth giving a bash.
Rating: 3 outta 5.
