Cowboys & Aliens 4K 2011 Ultra HD 2160p

1873. Arizona. A stranger (Craig) who has lost his memory goes astray and finds himself in the heart of the desert town of Absolution. The only hint of his past is the handcuffs covering one of his wrists.
He soon realizes that the residents of Absolution don't take kindly to outsiders and don't go outside without orders from Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford), who rules the town with an iron hand. Absolution lives in fear.
But Absolution is about to experience something even more horrific and unfathomable. The lost city is under attack by celestial marauders. Their speed takes your breath away, their beacons blind your eyes-the aerial monsters defy everything that makes up the settlers' lives.
And now the stranger they have rejected becomes their only hope for salvation. Gradually, the gunslinger remembers who he is and where he came from. He realizes that he possesses a secret that gives the town a chance to stand a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he assembles an armed posse of former enemies - ordinary everyday people, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors - all facing total annihilation. Uniting against a common threat, they begin preparations for a decisive battle for survival.

User Review
A blue-eyed man wakes up in the middle of the prairie with an iron bracelet on his wrist and a knife wound under his ribs. After getting a horse and a dog, the cowboy makes it to the nearest hole, where he is arrested rather quickly. The situation is complicated by the fact that the little-talking handsome man doesn't remember anything at all, besides, flying saucers appear in the night sky quite quickly.

Western with flying saucers, monsters and intergalactic slime - the idea, of course, Steven Spielberg: the years go by, and the most boyish projects - it is still to him. But only if when watching almost any other summer blockbuster for the youngest, everyone who has escaped the punitive psychiatry in his time has an obsessive feeling of brain atrophy, it usually does not apply to the projects of producer Spielberg. There's still a difference between inner youth and drooling, the world's foremost cinematic beard teaches us. And in the director of “Cowboys...” Jon Favreau (on the example of Iron Man (2008), who proved that a commercial movie based on a comic book can be ironic, sarcastic, and not stupid), by the way, exactly the same approach.

Slime is slime, and what's most important about “Cowboys...” is that it's a real, no-nonsense western. Filmed on film (the studio insisted on 3D, but Favreau balked), with a good cameraman (Matthew Libatique, in addition to both “Iron Man” shot with Aronofsky Black Swan (2010), Fountain, (2006) and Requiem for a Dream (2000), with quotes from “Stagecoach”, Unforgiven (1992) and High Noon (1952 ).
This, thank the saints, is not a parody of a Wild West movie and there is no Will Smith here . “Cowboys vs. Aliens” is a good, classic (as classic as you can get when it comes to a movie with ruthless alien scouts who are interested in gold mines) western. What's more, it's a good one. Favreau has never particularly emphasized cultural context, and here, quotes from John Ford are not at all what holds the movie's structure together. Nevertheless, you can see how much fun Craig has playing Brynner and McQueen, and Harrison Ford (hat!) winking at his twenty-five-year-old self.

The level of enlightenment this picture reaches is something few people can access. Ford plays a federal marshal with a penchant for misanthropy and xenophobia, who spends the entire movie badmouthing and dogging an Apache chief, only to later merge with the Indian in an ecstasy of mutual respect and battle with the aliens. Craig wields an alien bracelet like Kommandant Kotov wields an iron claw. All the idiocy of the plot is instantly played up by the characters themselves (“The kid and the dog are already riding with us, why don't the broad come along?” or “What?! The aliens want gold? That's ridiculous, what are they going to do with it, buy something?!"). The beautiful Olivia Wilde generally plays, let's not say what, but Princess Leia is the girl next door compared to this. Zombies. Mexicans. Convicts. At crucial moments, a doggie enters with a cheerful bark.

But the wildest thing about Cowboys vs. Aliens is that it all works. And without much self-irony, winks to fans of classics and fingers crossed behind the back. The dust from under the hooves will eat into your skin, the last words of your dying friend will be touching, Olivia Wilde's eyes will be green, and the dog's bark will ring out. And you'll have to wipe your fingers on your hat. Just like before.
