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.

5/10. There's a few solid action scenes and some of the cast is good like Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Sam Rockwell. The design of the aliens is unique. But it's not as cool as it should had been.

6/10. Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford worked well together. The blending of the Western and science fiction genres was nifty, but the alien themselves were merely okay.

I still think this was unfairly maligned by critics. It's a fun summer movie.
