A good cowboy movie needs a western town, a saloon, some kind of a gang or bad guy rancher that owns or threatens the town, a stranger that is going to save the town. A posse is always a plus, indians another plus, bandits with a hideout in the canyon also a plus. This movie has all the above.
A good alien vs the earth movie needs a superior race of invaders. Ones that drip stuff off their mouths and skin are best. Better yet is when they have some insect characteristics with sharp teeth, and body parts that extend out of their bodies, and like to wipe out planets either for food or some sort of rare unobtainium. Keeping humans alive in some sort of hibernation but alive state is always good. This movie has them in spades.
So, what you got is The Searchers v.s. Independence Day. And, it works. :P
