    It's what you expect. Not going to win awards, but still entertaining.

    It's a western! So what if there's aliens, as well? I love westerns. A couple of you sound like you don't realize something. Westerns usually don't have a ton of dialogue. McCabe and Mrs. Miller did, which made it unusual, but the majority of the classic westerns don't. Look at Clint Eastwood's body of work. He said more with a stare than most Hollywood pretty boys could say in a ten minute rant. I'm planning on seeing it.

    I enjoyed it too. Dragged in the middle a bit, but the ending was action packed!!!

    If you want Harrison Ford to carry a film, it better include fedoras or light sabers.

    Liked it, but it was a little long.

    Okay, so this is way off topic, but it seems like I have seen a film similar to this in the early 80's. I was overseas at the time so who knows the name of the movie. This guy comes across a weapon that he wears on his arm and uses to fight alien type creatures. The only problem is that it starts to control him in a way, or drain his life from him. In the end the guy ends up dying from the weapon he was wearing.

    Now, I have not seen this movie but I would be curious to see if the stories are similar. From the previews they look kinds similar.

    Yeah I remember that movie being shown on TV when I was a kid in the 80's. It was scary because the powerglove or bracelet turned him evil kinda like ' the lord of the ring' after wearing it long enough.

    Paid for worse this summer. I'd say it's decent, but forgettable. It didn't meet my expectations, but it was an entertaining summer movie. I really thought it would be better though.
