To be fair, I think the first half of this movie is great. There are a lot of long, slow shots which really feel reminiscent of a spaghetti western. But as it goes on, it eventually just turns into a mindless action movie with lots of quick cuts and as much CGI as they can fit on the screen. So yet another entry into the “yes, this movie is bad, but it’s a Weird Western!” category.

Here’s a trailer. You can currently watch it on Netflix.

    Remember that time in the early 2010s when everything had a surprising “and”?

    Cowboys and Aliens Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

    Golden days of elevator pitching.

      Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is both the laziest and cleverest idea for a novel - the author literally just took the original novel and rewrote it to add zombies.

      I was surprised with how well Pride and Prejudice and Zombies followed the original plot. Oh, you free thinkers, learning Chinese martial arts instead of Japanese martial arts, how ever will you fit in?
