A hilarious story told in a serious tone

It's a movie for kids to watch and absolutely love it, but I think it's a hilarious story told in a serious tone anyway. After thinking about it, it should be caused by the foundation laid by the past works of the two actors, Craig and Ford. It is really difficult for these two to make a sci-fi film. In addition, the aliens and Indians , I always think of Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, as if the next scene will become a nonsensical funny movie.

Having said that, Craig is really hard, looking forward to the new 007 this year. Ford still looks like Indiana Jones, but this time it's a fight with bugs, and he doesn't seem to have the strength to use it.

I also want to talk about all the alien movies in the past few decades, basically, the earthlings find the opponent's weakness and finally reverse and win the routine. In fact, this is simply impossible. Regarding the war on earth, if the current U.S. military power is used to travel back to World War II, it will definitely easily kill Germany in seconds. The difference between now and World War II is only 70 years. What is the concept of 70 years? From the perspective of the universe, it seems like only a few seconds in a person's life. If aliens can reach the earth, the strength gap must be that compared with humans and ants, it is far greater than the current US military and the crusaders in the age of cold weapons. We can't imagine the attack method at all, and even our modern physics and chemistry are simply common sense in kindergarten in the eyes of others. However, if you put it in a movie, you can't watch it unless you shoot it like you do now. People send a photon or lower the earth to a dimension (if you've seen "The Three-Body Problem"), how do you play it? However, the aliens in this film are nothing but brute force, basically a group of Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms era, otherwise the cowboys can't kill them.

In a word, although the effect is not bad, and I like the actors, but in general, it can't reach the exciting level.
