2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   Eh well – I guess you could say this Movie 2.0 Mashup was entertaining for its novelty but looking at its components: western – not that great, sci-fi – not that great, you end up with something that didn’t use the combination to make the sum greater than its parts. That’s too bad, because it had potential. A typical western story, with some great western acting talent with decent sci-fi ish creatures. In looking at the two components, I actually favored the western – had grit, gals, and action. The sci-fi part detracted from that. See this if you are bored, curious, or have young boys who will likely love it.

4. Acting

   Good 3.0

   Daniel Craig, as it turns out, makes a great gunslinger. And of course, a major hat-tip goes to Harrison Ford. Olivia Wilde is great eye-candy, but not so memorable for her acting – but maybe I can’t really fault her – the writers didn’t give her much to work with.

5. Male Stars Good 3.0

6. Female Stars Good 3.0

7. Female Costars Good 3.0

8. Male Costars Good 3.0

10. Film

    OK 2.5

    Decent special effects and the core of a good film – just poor execution on the writing front, causing a domino effect for everything else.
