Cowboys & Aliens [Digital]

A watchable mesh-up of genres for the fanboys that lacks a certain epicness and grandeur which was hinted by its premise. Unfortunately, bogged down by an uneven screenplay from the boys of "Lost" and poor pacing by Jon Favreau (which so far as yet to really appeal to me as a director yet, "Iron Man" including). Another poorly designed and thought out alien creation in the same vein as the disappointing "Super 8" alien. Poor/zilch chemistry between Thirteen (oh man, she's as bad here as in "House") and 007, but the banter between Indie and Bond kinda makes up for it. Interesting concept that failed in its execution. Hopefully Craig Daniels scores better with the Millenium Trilogy.
