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.

    CGI gets such a bad rep even though it is the backbone of modern scifi media.

    You can do a lot with miniatures, puppets and perspective, sure. But the craziest stuff you can only do with CGI.

    I’d rather have bad CGI in every scene than have scifi stories written with the least possible scifi in them. Like that trope where some scifi person gets stranded and has to live without technology in nature. Or that they time travel to our time and now has to live like we do but with a crazy view of the world.
