Last Thursday was a mad rush to the cinema after work. We beat the heavy traffic and crowd to catch Indy in his latest adventure. Arriving with mere minutes to spend, we only managed a combo meal from Auntie Anne’s as dinner, promising ourselves a sinful indulgence into rich caramel popcorn later during the movie.
The movie stayed true to its original style. Indy’s on-screen appearance, his infamous hat and whip, his wit, silly grin and at times, goofy antics - everything breeds familiarity! It didn’t seem like there was an absence of 19 years from the last movie at all!
The story unraveled well with lots of action from the word go. They stuck to the old fashioned way of travelogue – showing the plane flying across the map. How classic can that be? I enjoyed the movie very much, except towards the end of the show. The spoiler? Well, dear Steven Spielberg had to bring in ET into the show! Oh, no!!! Why??
It was kinda hard to swallow that bit of alien part…..but to think of Cate Blanchett in that outrageously funny hair style….. Maybe the aliens were not so strange after all!
Pretty good movie overall. And, who knows? We may see an Indy 5 in the near future with the talented Shia Labeouf.
