Old Indy in New Era
PostedMay 26, 2008

With the past Indiana Jones movies taking place starting pre-WW II, this one is only fitting that it occurs shortly after the war. This gives the franchise fans a flow to connect with previous story lines.
I for one can appreciate the story, since its relevance to today is probably more apparent than previous installments of Indiana Jones. They have obviously built off from a story that is being shown regularly on the History Channel about the mysterious crystal skulls found in Mexico and Guatemala, and about some mysterious powers some claim they possess.
The special effects are fantastic, and the CGI of today really adds to what was already great creativity of past films, and it added real grandeur to some big moments, like the nuclear bomb test, and the closing scene.
Shia Labeouf has really come into his own in this movie, and gives credit to Harrison Ford's character without taking away. Only Shia has the ability to shine his own brand of humour without taking away Harrison's presence, something he has been known for during the short time he has been acting on the big screen.
I like the fact that some older characters were also brought back for this film.
I recommend this movie to all who have liked Indiana Jones movies, and anyone who has appreciated history blended into movies, like National Treasure has done.
A fictional story that is likely to get your children more interested in reading and going to school to learn more about the world.
