Is it worth a new picture of Jon Favreau’s “Cowboys and Aliens” view? It is, if you 1) nostalgiruete forgotten by modern Western genre cinema (“True Grit” does not count), 2) venerates science fiction, and at one time bought from retail toy figures of others, and 3) amateur creative director Jon Favreau, 4) respect and adore Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde, all together or separately, 5) do you like eclectic, ie a combination of different styles and genres. If you do not get under any item, it is better to refrain from viewing, because the majority of these things seem absurd movie, stupid and nesmotribelnym, and somebody finds it its charm and allure. I certainly am to the latter.

In general, eclecticism is not new to cinema, as it may seem unsophisticated audience. In the not too distant 2008, the world had already seen something like that gave us Favreau. The film “The Vikings”, which is not much known, but not too bad. True, there aliens caught in the dense forests of uncivilized Vikings. Favreau has deserted them in the hot plains of the Wild West, and forced to fight the tough guys in cowboy hats.

Wait for something unique from the plot in such a product film is just silly and pointless. For originality here and do not smell. The plot is linear and is developing well in a straight, occasionally wagging, but quite a bit, so that the viewer will not notice. Chronotope of the road can be traced very clearly. Heroes to the goal, then travel to her during this time, their paths must meet some obstacles, eventually they reach the desired outcome and there. It’s simple, accessible and unpretentious. But we must pay tribute to the director. This banal and many viewers bored plot Favreau could present qualitatively and soundly, using all possibilities, ie, different actors and cool special effects. And, despite the predictability of the action while watching the film with interest. And this is important.

Panoramas of the Wild West is impressive. Long canyons that conceal their uncertainty in the rocks, scorching sun, which burns the skin glows and earth, dry sand underfoot, blue skies overhead and no sign of rain. Dry, empty, hot and dull. Rare trees, trying to put down roots in this land not adapted to life, make their way to the light, the sun dries them immediately its scorching rays. Here is a picture of this Wild West, a time when the cowboys were in honor, and wide-brimmed hats were considered fashionable. And amid all this beauty inflames people struggle with alien monsters. Flared up spectacularly, beautifully. Everything blows up, the pillars of the sand fly in the air, firing guns, you hear the whistle of bullets clatter of hooves, the neighing of horses, the cries and screams of people. And the earth turns into a minefield on a variety of projectiles that are flying above. In short, fans of action games like that.

It would seem that the ideological can be in a project that looked more like entertainment than a blockbuster, something intelligent and not empty. But, as he wrote at the time Krylov, moral of the story. Sacrifice, the desire to protect their loved ones and friends from all afflictions. And let it in an allegorical sense, presented to, but do not grasp it is extremely difficult. And let this truth is overwritten to the holes, but very relevant. Always has been and will be.

The actors are very good and organic in the images. Daniel Craig (author crazy about him and can not be adequate) is incredibly tough, courageous and just gorgeous in every way. That his stern gaze and frown, the ability to cut down a pair of hand movements of the enemy and save the world once again make it a wholly-owned hero summer blockbuster. Harrison Ford proves that it is too early to write off. And Olivia Wilde stunning almond-shaped eyes. In addition, she is responsible for all of the femininity of male film. And still want to highlight Sam Rockwell. The role is not very big and not central, but he remembered his sparkling, lively game.

I wanted to get from the movie “Cowboys vs. Aliens” excellent entertaining spectacle. And I got it. Yes, the plot is trivial and completely devoid of originality, but also more predictable and absurd. But the film looks with interest, on a couple of moments of forces start, the picture is beautiful and spectacular, and the actors are good. Why is only one Daniel Craig is worth. And so, despite its absurdity, I liked the movie. And this is the most important.

P. S. Wonderful dog. So quickly ran the entire film, loud barking, wagged its tail and desperately looking to understand. Charming animal.
