The title says all you need to know about the
story; a Wild West outlaw discovers a piece of futuristic technology sparking a war develops between mankind and the alien species. That's about the long and short of
it.
A crossover of genres which probably worked better
as a graphic novel. The film itself is nonsensical brainless popcorn entertainment, with a woefully miscast Harrison Ford. Olivia Wilde is pleasing on the eye though.
Not completely terrible, but certainly not very
good.
4/10
