B-
I finally checked it out. Fascinating movie. I'd always imagined it being Back to the Future Part III western meets Independence Day sci-fi.
It's actually far more 3:10 to Yuma meets War of the Worlds.
Daniel Craig is surprising effective & fully committed to his quiet western trope of a character... Harrison Ford's role is a bit less rounded out & dare I say unrequired.
Paul Dano in there, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde... there's some strong faces to keep the gritty grimy western facade alive & well.
Still, I felt like the Aliens side of things wasn't much ever looked into. 1873 alien attacks, & the ppl are barely scared or inquisitive... they seem more like the aliens are just another band of bandits taking their ppl & stuff.
