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.

    I just finished ‘Three Body Problem’ on Netflix. Amazing. If you want a smart movie, this is the one.

      How to show you don’t know even basic science and can’t figure out the most obvious things. ^

      It’s so incredibly bad, they make so many mistakes and completely misrepresent very simple things to a point where it’s impossible to believe it wasn’t done on purpose.

      The trailers looked great but it was obvious after the first episode it was going to be shit and it was somehow even worse than expected by the end.

      It’s not smart at all, not even close, you’ve just somehow missed the multiple major issues and obvious lack of basic knowledge by the writers.

        There’s a huge difference between a smart science fiction movie and an actual course in science.

        Since we were talking about ‘Cowboys and Aliens’ in Weird Westerns I figured anyone on the thread would realize that that by ‘smart’ I meant a movie dealing with interesting ideas and not just a big shoot-'em-up.

        I feel sorry for anyone who treats entertainment as an examination. And, since you cite numerous problems, I’ll assume you were silly enough to torture yourself by watching the whole thing.
