Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull finds Indy (Harrison Ford) trying to outrace a brilliant and beautiful agent (Cate Blanchett) for the mystical all-powerful Crystal Skull of Akator. Teaming up with a rebellious young biker (Shia LaBeouf) and his spirited original love Marion (Karen Allen) Indy takes you on a breathtaking action-packed adventure in the exciting tradition of the classic Indiana Jones movies!System Requirements:Running Time: 122 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/HEROES Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097361386645 Manufacturer No: 138664 Amazon.com: Nearly 20 years after riding his last Crusade, Harrison Ford makes a welcome return as archaeologist/relic hunter Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an action-packed fourth installment that's, in a nutshell, less memorable than the first three but great nostalgia for fans of the series. Producer George Lucas and screenwriter David Koepp (War of the Worlds) set the film during the cold war, as the Soviets--replacing Nazis as Indy's villains of choice and led by a sword-wielding Cate Blanchett with black bob and sunglasses--are in pursuit of a crystal skull, which has mystical powers related to a city of gold. After escaping from them in a spectacular opening action sequence, Indy is coerced to head to Peru at the behest of a young greaser (Shia LaBeouf) whose friend--and Indy's colleague--Professor Oxley (John Hurt) has been captured for his knowledge of the skull's whereabouts. Whatever secrets the skull holds are tertiary; its reveal is the weakest part of the movie, as the CGI effects that inevitably accompany it feel jarring next to the boulder-rolling world of Indy audiences knew and loved. There's plenty of comedy, delightful stunts--ants play a deadly role here--and the return of Raiders love interest Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, once shrill but now softened, giving her ex-love bemused glances and eye-rolls as he huffs his way to save the day. Which brings us to Ford: bullwhip still in hand, he's a little creakier, a lot grayer, but still twice the action hero of anyone in film today. With all the anticipation and hype leading up to the film's release, perhaps no reunion is sweeter than that of Ford with the role that fits him as snugly as that fedora hat. --Ellen A. Kim Stills from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Oh yuck A good friend of mine bought himself a Blue Ray player and a big old TV and then, as you do bought a couple of movies to watch and invited some friends over. I was the only person that went along for the show and about 20 minutes into this film I began to squirm. Sequels get a bad rap, but this was unnecessarily bad. If you want to watch an Indiana Jones movie got and buy a copy of Raiders of the Lost Arc and sit back and enjoy it, this is not even close to being in the same class. What you get instead is Harrison Ford trying his best to work with a bad script, a horrible plot in a movie that lacks suspense, joy, excitement or clarity. Blanchett's horrible Russian accent immediately confirmed that nobody who made this movie gave a damn about its outcome - it was just a pay day. That will teach him to buy movies without reading reviews first. Hopefully you are smarter than he was! Rating: - disappointed It's too bad that the movie was pushed as a classic Indiana Jones film. It's not. It plays off the others, but the story is lousy. The Fate of Atlantis would have been a much better story. The effects are too computerized. They look too smooth. It looks more like toy story than good artistic filming & effects. Rating: - absolutely horrible Possibly one of the worst movies ever made, dare I put it right up there with WATERWORLD? I tried, I really tried but no matter what, I hated everything about this film. Everyone involved with this film, should be ashamed of themselves! It is time for Harrison Ford/Spielberg/Lucas and Co. to just stop and smell the Bengay. They are too old and this franchise ran it's course, as had STAR WARS. Move on or retire, please for the sake of all of us. And Shia Lebouf? Please, please, let Transformers 2 be good, 'cause this was not his most shining hour but he's young, he can move on, as long as he stays out of trouble. And Karen Allen? Not hard to see why she hasn't been working anymore. Too bad really but it's over. Couldn't wait to get this movie out of my house. Got it at the library, so wasted no money. I'm done and exhausted from disappointment. Rating: - Indy Noooooooooo! Its all about the money. The substance is lost, the trilogy should have stoped at the trilogy. Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad. Only wish I could have given it 0 stars Rating: - Ride value 3 stars, plot value 0 stars Normally, you have to understand the Spielberg "action" sequences as taking physics and ignoring it but this show was just too much. Having faced the AK-47 in Iraq and read about Spetsnaz I can honestly say that four Spetsnaz with AK-47s firing from less than 20 meters would have killed all in the open car. Period. It went downhill from that point. Tracking devices the size of a lighter. Bad guys teleporting to the next location. Although they got cars from the 1950's I was shocked they didn't have the stars using SAT phones! Since this was from the left wing "Heil"lywood they had to bring in HUAC and the "black list". UPDATE: 11 JUL 1995 US released a cache of Soviet cables that has been decoded during the Cold War called the Verona Project. Senator McCarthy was right! Alger Hiss WAS a Communist Agent. Hollywood WAS being used but Soviet agents! Like all good students of Dr. Goebbels, Hollywood will keep perpetuating the lie. "If you tell a lie enough times and with enough passion the people (sheeple) will believe it." Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, 1939.
