Sonny, I Watched the Vault Bein' Built!
I recently saw a poster for this movie and was genuinely intrigued by the thing the main character (Daniel Craig) wore on his left hand - looked just like a Pip-Boy! Since it has also aliens in it, first thing that came to my mind was Mothership Zeta.

The rating are pretty low, but has anyone seen it and can tell if it is at least worth for the lulz?
 
I've seen it. When you figure out why the aliens are there, you might be pissed off. Harrison Ford's character even points it out in one of the funniest lines in the movie. If you just try forget why the aliens are there, it's a pretty great movie. The beginning is just like a western, and when the aliens come in, it's like someone suddenly dropped aliens in a western.
 
actually I liked that movie with aliens and knights more. But that is because it was a comedy not an action movie.

You are not telling me that they have come to Earth, in particular Arizona, for water right?

[spoiler:4955507e5c] Worse. FUCKING GOLD. What is this Battlefield Earth shit? I'll even quote how they explained it. Starting with the afore mentioned Ford line.
"What're they gonna do? Buy something?!?"
Alien Lady: (It's been a while. I don't remember the exact line.) "It's just as rare on their planet."
Ford then shuts up.
It's a great movie besides that shit reason why the aliens are there.[/spoiler:4955507e5c]

Just as stupid.

At least in the comic, which first issue I had happened to read the aliens came to Earth because their ship was damaged during a fight, and they needed to land somewhere.
They attacked settlements because they wanted a base and slaves.
 
yeah thats of course much better ...

hands down. There is probably no "good" reason why they should be here.
 
Your right Crni Vuk, if aliens came to our planet for gold, water, or slaves, no one in particular, especially humans, are going to think it's a good idea.
 
It's some sort of message, I imagine. Look, evil foreign people with superior technology [spoiler:46535cb900] come to steal gold from our lands![/spoiler:46535cb900] Just like the Whites did for the Natives! OMG so intellectual and deep!!

My big problem is that the movie takes itself seriously. I mean, the film's name is Cowboys versus Aliens, this is prime B-movie material, yet they try to make it into a Hollywood-style ''epic'' flick. So, apart from the uneven action scenes, it's more or less a snoozefest, Daniel Craig in particular seems bored as hell.
