I guess that Joe Favreau was a little too fixated on making a fusion of the western and science fiction genres, and not enough on placing a science fiction concept inside of a western. Something that Friends with Benefits taught me is that your film can't be all about one thing. There are usually several different cogs working around in the best of westerns, and I don't see a single one moving here. It took a chance to pay attention, but this just doesn't seem to have what it takes to hold my interest. Films like these are what's killing the western genre.
