Cowboys and Aliens: Old Indiana Jones vs. Alien

In nineteenth-century American western towns, it was the time of the Gold Rush. A man with amnesia wakes up in the desert, searching for his true identity with inexplicable metal gear on his wrist. In the process, he met many former acquaintances and new enemies, just as everyone chased and killed each other for the gold they got. The sudden large-scale aircraft whizzed past, followed by the indiscriminate bombing, so that everyone put down the temporary hostility and had to devote themselves to new battles, just like Indiana Jones's exploration process started without meaning.

When the old cowboy responded to the alien invasion, two completely unrelated elements were mixed together. Indeed, as the film's producer Spielberg said, it made people see "some new and different feelings." Not only a new exploration of old-fashioned westerns, but also new ideas for alien themes. When the audience has not had time to find the balance between "serious and interesting", a huge alien spaceship is already standing in front of them, and all the humiliated people rushed forward to tear it apart and become an urgent action.

Like "Jagged Elite", this film is an action blockbuster with old and new tough guys joining forces. Rookie 007's Daniel Craig and veteran Harrison Ford play opposite roles. Olivia Wilde, who was voted "the sexiest woman in the world", also shined in the film, and unexpectedly performed an alien plot. Not only did he go through it to reconcile the contradictions of all parties, but finally he climbed into the core part of the alien spaceship to destroy the entire spaceship in one fell swoop, showing the fearless spirit of taking his own life to save the people. This film can really be described as "mixing and matching" to the extreme, and the resulting effect is also unusually chaotic. There is a feeling of watching four or five films bundled together.
