The thunder is loud, the rain is little

In fact, the rhythm of this film is good, and the style of some scenes is also very good.
When it was announced, it attracted a lot of attention. You can see from the box office in the first week. Many viewers have a high opinion of this film. Looking forward, the idea of ​​adding aliens in the western period and shooting in the western style is also very good, but... the setting is too nonsense, which makes many places look very unpleasant.
I just think about it a few times. There are:
1. If it is reasonable to say that the gun of the western cowboy shoots almost no damage on the UFO, it is very excessive when it is used to blow up the alien bunker with explosives. A few pieces of black powder create a very Huge destructive power, the fireball almost covered the entire upper floor, the director should put some more, anyway, those are props for display, and they are not explosive, "MythBusters" is too lazy to verify it
2. The tentacles on the alien's chest make no sense. They stretch out two hands that don't seem to have any strength at all, but this is also the most vulnerable place. When they are stabbed by a small pot friend, they will hang up and turn up, and they have evolved into this It looks like a failure
3. That doctor can be guessed from the beginning to the end, and the plot about him can be guessed. For example, the priest taught him to shoot, but he did not learn very well, and then the priest would die. After the priest died, the doctor Just keep on soy sauce, and in the end, he must use the marksmanship taught by the priest to blow off an alien's head very accurately, thus saving someone, and then give a vision like this, it's too boring, I don't know if the director took the picture. The

movie with the formula is attractive at the beginning, but as the plot progresses, there are more and more nonsense things. In the end, it seems to be stewed in a pot. It is a story of cowboys and aliens, but I don’t know why. When the Indians came in, they were just cannon fodder like the cowboys. They were all singled out by the protagonist. The filming was very off-topic and the screenwriter was not good.
