Two genres pressing against one another for center stage as both mean business.
I like the way the script is calibrated to accomodate this premise: alien footprints are tracked, men, horses and supplies are gathered, and faith is on equal footing with technology in fighting the enemy.
The western aspect also slows down the action sci-fi, giving it pause to provide human reflection rather than quickly filling the frame with another special effects sequence.
A serious film and highly recommended.

Notice that the alien hardware was slightly 'ancient' . . . - mr grits 09:50:21 08/01/11 (4)
as opposed to smooth and technically slick modern day invaders? The drones using propulsion that was obviously not 'anti-gravity' was a nice touch. I guess this guys were the Bulgarians of their galaxy...just able to get here at the very lowest cost.

      Not my bag. The dissenters have funnier things to say than the will be patrons. Nice, guys. I will give credit to somebody for the hilarious title.
Yes, "serious" for a 6-year old. nt - tinear 07:54:45 08/01/11 (1)
