Looking for an action packed, adventure filled movie to see? Cowboys and Aliens will be released on July 29th of this year, 2011. This movie is based on a spaceship which arrives in Absolution (a deserted town in Arizona) in 1873. The plan is for them to take over the earth starting with the west but the Cowboys are not going to let that happen! Directed by John Favreau, this film gives you just about every element of a thriller film you need. It stars Daniel Craig who plays Jake Lonergan, Harrison Ford who plays Col. Woodrow Dolarhyde and Olivia Wilde who plays Ella. Jake is a loner who has lost his memory and enters Absolution while Col. Dolarhyde hails from the cowboy side. The people of Absolution do not allow strangers so they rebel against Jake. Col. Dolarhyde rules that no one is to make any moves without his consent. Ella, who seems to be the love interest of Daniel sides with him to try and discover the unknown. While the aliens demand what they want, humanity must work together to salvage what they call home. Judging from the trailer, besides the setting of the scenes, the movie does not feel like these elements happened so far back in time. It is just that interesting and exciting so your main focus is on what is to come and how it will end. This movie can pretty much be described as an old western film with a new millennium twist. Most of all this movie is rated PG-13 so it caters to most ages and can be seen by the whole family. For any old western fans and individuals looking to try seeing something new, you should go see Cowboys and Aliens on July 29th!
