This is probably one of the most worst films I have ever seen! Harrison Ford is personally one of my most favourite actors and I also really like Daniel Craig but seriously, they pull the worst Western accents in the worst western film I have ever watched. The film was really boring and the acting was not very good in my opinion. The CGI was appalling and fake and the aliens looked like some sort of walking fish. The plot was very dull. A cowboy wakes up in the middle of nowhere with a device strapped to his hands and he goes to a town. He has flashbacks of him and his wife being taken away into some kind of alien test chamber. The aliens attack the village as anyone would predict and there is a big battle against them. I became very tired as the story went on and the acting made me feel ill. It was so bad. I didn't like in the film where you see Daniel Craig for the first time and you think he is going to be really good because he has been James Bond for an example but actually, he is just a guy with a terrible American accent. I also didn't like in this film where there is the main battle against the aliens, they don't look very scary, they look like a mutated fish and they are so fake! The CGI is so terrible in this film that it would be better if they used people with face paint instead. Another part of this film I did not like is the rocket launch scene, it looked really stupid and fake (again) because they used CGI badly (again). I give this film 1 star because it did not entertain me at all. It was so bad, I have repeated that word so much in this review. I recommend this film to young children because they may find it a easy-to-understand and non-scary alien movie but I do not recommend it to teenagers or adults since this film is so fake and bad.
