Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Space Cowboy
Justin Stanchfield · 2010
66/100
👎 Skip It
Stanchfield's genuine Montana cowboy background gives the frontier-planet atmosphere real texture, and the sci-fi western genre blend is inventive enough to stand out. The critical footprint is thin — UK review sites only — and the predator-hunt violence with Alien-style tension places this closer to the upper end of the 11+ range rather than the lower, which limits its reach a bit.
