Cowboys and Aliens

I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter 7 Thursday night at the Esquire.  It was really good!  There were also lots of previews, 6 to be exact (although supposedly the Moolah only had 2 previews and there were different).  One of these movies really stuck out to me—Steven Spielberg’s Cowboys and Aliens.  The preview starts out as a normal western, but a couple minutes in there’s, well, an alien attack.  I think this could be an interesting example of the battle between technology and no technology.  This theme has been a common theme in movies for some time now, most recently in Avatar.  This seems to get at the heart of how many people view technology as taking over the world.  It will be interesting to see how Spielberg treats the idea of advanced technology.
