The gold thing in the warehouse was the Ark of the Covenant, plus he drank from the Holy Grail, and in one of the Fallout games you find a hat in a fridge
@@minnesotajones261 Who's to say it isn't STILL hidden there? We all know Area 51 exists now. But none of us have any real clue what's in it. We all presume it's just "aliens," but what if it's something more than that...??? Just my own conspiracy theory. lol
The grail only works in the temple. Remember the Knight says you cant leave with it. Its powers only work inside and if you want to live forever you have to stay in the temple.
I lost some respect for Indy after finding out that he ditched Marion at the altar, instead of simply breaking up with her while they were still dating. One of those two things is forgivable. The other really isn't. You can't wait until freaking WEDDING DAY to chicken out on your romance! lol
It actually fits the mold of the previous Indian Jones movies pretty well. They all had a few "cheesy" or over the top scenes. I think people were expecting it to be brought up to modern action film standards in the fighting scenes and car chases. But if you look at it next to the previous Indian Jones movies it fits in
@@jacob4920 I am a lot better with the nuked fridge than the fact that a bunch of Russians with heavy accents were able to freely move around America during the height of the red scare without having every FBI agent in the US following them.
I can't believe I never noticed that they technically continued the "taking their names from dogs" naming convention. The Last Crusade revealed that Indiana took the name from their dog. And Mutt is basically what people call a dog with "unknown/mysterious" parentage.
You do know that Indiana was the name of George Lucas's dog. Willie (Scott) was Steven Spielberg's dog. Short Round was the dog of the film's writers, Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck.
The Indiana Jones timeline: Temple of Doom: 1935 (yes, ToD is a prequel). Raiders of the Lost Ark: 1936. The Last Crusade: 1938. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: 1957. Indiana Jones 5 (no title yet): probably set in the late 60s.
1969, the behind-the-scenes footage shows a parade celebrating the moon landing. Then the Young Indy series covers 1899-1920, as well as a bit of 1950 and 1992.
Area 51 in Indy lore is the repository of secret objects. The gold you saw in the box was the Ark of the Covenant, where it was stored when Indy brought it back in the 1930s.
The US used the Nevada desert in the 1950's as a nuclear bomb testing area. The town was built and set up with the mannequins to assess the damage done by various kiloton and megaton yield nuclear weapons.
There is also actual test footage of them using live animals (pigs) in the blast. Lastly, they marched a small number ot US Army troops into the blast zone immediately after an explosion to test their combat effectiveness in the event of a nuclear exchange in Europe.
The Nevada Test Site above ground testing was limited to sub megaton tests most megaton range tests were conducted in the Pacific or underground. Operation Teapot had some of the largest infrastructure test shots. Pigs were used as human analogs because their skin is similar to human skin when damaged. In "operation Plumbbob" pigs were dressed in various types of clothing to test thermal pulse or put behind glass and other barriers to test the effect of flying debris.

The 1950's was when the alien craze started so it's logical that the movie would go there. I never understood why some felt aliens were more out there than gods and magic.
Agreed. Aliens are much more realistic when you think about it. It's madness to think that the only intelligent life in the universe is on Earth, and that humans are the only advanced lifeform. Billions or trillions of stars per galaxy, trillions of galaxies, at least one planet on average per star.
@@platinumspider7859 in answer to your question: The timeline of the movie being 18 years after the events of movie before this one and the fact that's been the same length of time in the Indiana Jones universe is what makes it ironic
@@asterix7842 So I guess that should make you shocked that it's actually 19 years later in-universe. You expected exactly 18 years in the movies since it's been 18 years in real life, so now you can't believe it that it was actually 19 years later. You probably wouldn't have believed 17 years either. Had to be 18 years so it's not ironic.
Before I watched this in 2008, I rewatched the entire Young Indy TV series, them the first three films, and I got SO much more out of it, with episodes on Pancho Villa and dealing with Henry, Sr. I liked how the film used the zeitgeist of the 1950s with not only the Cold War, but also aliens, instead of fighting Nazis yet again. Alien themes in the 50s were not only symbolic of invasion from Russia, but came from the alleged flying saucer crash in Roswell, New Mexico and govt. cover up, which Indy was asked to inspect, was mentioned in the beginning of the film.
You know I always loved how Indy's response to "Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds" was to say it was Hindu "scripture". It is not a phraseology that is used now, but it is a form that I am pretty sure I used to hear in my childhood, so it kinda feels very "true".
It bothered me that many fans of these films just bought and loved the idea of finding “bible” artefacts but couldn’t handle an alien angle. I enjoyed this movie.
Supposedly, the "nuking the fridge" scene was from the original draft of Back to the Future (produced by Spielberg)... Marty McFly was supposed to be near a nuclear blast in a lead-lined fridge to get back to 1985.... Spielberg took the idea and recycled it for Crystal Skull. The mine cart scene from Temple Of Doom was recycled from an early draft of Raiders. Spielberg likes to recycle
So does Lucas, but it's not recycling it's just not throwing away a good idea that can be re used. The gong/machine gun scene in Temple of Doom was a scene for Raiders that wasn't used and then brought back. I remember being in the movie theater and the first shot you see is the huge gong and I knew what was going to happen. Of course when the guy came down the staircase with the machine gun I got excited.
Fingers crossed he doesn’t recycle his original idea of The Goonies having escaped gorillas driving a car. I’m not making this up, Spielberg shot the scene and it was quickly scraped by Richard Donner
The Back to the Future thing was Zemeckis-Gale's idea. Basically the time machine needed a lot of radiation to send something through time, so they take Marty to a nuclear testing facility, and to survive the blast he hides in a refridgerator.
Yes, Indy is Henry Walton Jones, Jr. - after his father, Henry Sr. Indy took the "nickname" Indiana after their dog. But we don't find this out until the very end of Last Crusade - that's why dad always called him "Junior..." As for aliens - well for years people thought aliens and crystal skulls went together. And belief in aliens and ancient cultures is no different a belief than Hindu mysticism (the Sankara Stones), Judaism (the Ark), or Christianity (the Grail).
@@ronfehr7899 The first episode of the Young Indiana Jones chronicles. The narration states "I was born Henry Walton Jones, Jr...." And a neat fact, Walton is George Lucas' middle name too.
I actually enjoyed this movie after watching the other three movies with dad. Also, when I heard Shia LaBeouf and Cate Blanchett is in this movie, I told dad we should watch it.
It’s imperfect but it’s an occasionally fun homage to B-Movie Sci Fi films of the 1950s the same way the original trilogy were homages to the adventures stories in pulp magazines of the 1930s. My only real issue is Shia Labeouf
@@Fantomex. Yeah it is. Aliens and Sci Fi started to become a big thing in the 50s. Crystal Skull is set in the 50s. Thats why they chose to make it about aliens.
I suggest visiting the henry ford museum and the smithsonian museums. They have a lot of vintage vehicles and they put a lot of effort into making everything as preserved and authentic as possible.
Harrison Ford had no idea they were actually going to detonate a thermal nuclear warhead on set that day. Stephen Spielberg thought leaving him behind while speeding off in the car would add to the realism of the desperation and panic in Fords acting.
Don't forget, this was also the "Area 51" era, which is probably why the alien/UFO aspect was featured. Plus, those ancient prophecies (such as those of the Mayans) tend to intertwine with extra-terrestrial stuff. This film was an interesting departure from all the strictly "ancient civilization" stuff on Earth.
The town, called "Nuke Town" was used to test the effects of nuclear fallout, blasts, etc. They were real test sites during the Cold War. Nuke Town was also a popular scenario used in the game "Battlefield (42, I think)."
Classic Call of Duty map actually, first appeared in Black Ops (2010) and has since appeared in various remastered forms in other CoD titles since then.
@45:57 "If you are about to die, you would grab onto anything, no matter if you fear it." I can tell you from experience, if someone has a phobia, they would probably not be able to grab the object of their fear, no matter the consequences. They would be terrified, would scream, possibly even pass out.
There were actually 2 tv series starring the same actor, Patrick Flannery, as Indiana Jones. The other was called The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones
As a lifelong fan of these movies and characters, I find this one to be fun watch also. It's called "suspension of disbelief" y'all, and Hollywood would not, and could not, exist without it. Fun fact: my wife actually walked out on this movie in theater - in disgust. Being a scientist herself, she could not tolerate Indy repeatedly saying "noo-cue-lar" instead of nuclear (noo-clee-arr).
Exactly! This movie is fine, it’s just the films from the 80s have this epic feel cinematically. An example are the 80s slasher movies, I will always love Freddy Krueger, was a pretty quirky movie but the way it looks just reminds us of a golden age perhaps. Maybe it’s just easier to say “practical effects” baby! Nostalgia definitely plays a role too…
The damage caused by the nuclear bomb test was quite realistic. However, Indy surviving 3000-4000°C, insane radiation, and bouncing violently on the ground several times just because he's in a lead-lined fridge is ludicrous.
I just love the fact that Harrison Ford kept on playing Indy from 1981 up until 2023, whick meant that several generations could experience new adventures with the character. I watched the original trilogy when I was a kid, went to see Crystal Skull on the big screen during my first year in high school, and fifteen years later I'm in my 30's and having a blast with Dial of Destiny. I love these films so much ❤
Check out the pilot movie for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles . It depicts a teenage Indy with Poncho Villa and also introduces everyone to his parents and his dog Indiana who you got a glimpse of in Last Crusade. Every episode of the series has Indy interacting with various famous people of history and often getting involved in famous events. You get to see Indy depicted at three different ages,8, 16 and 93 with the latter telling the stories of his youth in wrap around segments. There is even one with Harrison Ford as a 50 year old Indy telling a story.
If you want to see Shia in more recent movies - he had TWO phenomenal movies in 2019 - 'Peanut Butter Falcon' and 'Honey Boy'. He is such an amazing talent and I hope he can wrangle his own demons and get his life in order.
Hey Mary, I know that a lot of other people are recommending a lot of movies to you, but if you want or have not, check out Pirates of the Carribean!💀🗡 Johnny Depp SLAYS in these movies and some of them have pretty good cinematography! -From me!
There will always be those that enjoy and those that don't enjoy everything so I never listen to the negative side and with that said I really enjoyed this one. Also every Indiana Jones film is syfy and aliens fit in so well in the Spielberg universe. 💓👍
I don't understand the hate either. It literally has all the bells and whistles of the originals. I think it just suffers from being released in an era when it's cool to hate.
Maybe you recognize the "Raiders theme" cos it's reminiscent of Star Wars and Jaws? All composed by John Williams. His music just has a "trademark" sound.
If you really want to see these old cars in the streets, you should really visit Cuba. Not only is it a beautiful country with great culture and people, the streets are also full of these classic cars because of the US embargo.
So glad that you enjoyed this flick! If I may (If no one else has mentioned?) … The Indiana Jones flicks paid tribute to the B movies of the times in which they are set. In the ‘50’s, it was Cold war issues, aliens & big bugs! (Besides… It’s definitely better than “Temple of Doom”.)
@@Fantomex. No evidence of what?! Indiana Jones was created out of the appreciation Lucas had for the old B-movie cliffhanger serials he watched, growing up. Yes, Spielberg did want to do Bond, but George brought his idea for Indy to him, & (As you said), “the rest is history”.
It seemed pretty obvious that they were grooming Shia LaBeouf to become the next Indiana Jones, but then he sequentially pissed off every single person he ever worked with... And his career is instead as it is
Upon several rewatches, plus seeing dual of destiny, I actually enjoy crystal skull a lot more . It feels like an actual Indiana Jones movie unlike Indy 5
That Crystal Skull thing is what alerted me to that 2012 Mayan prophecy thing ; 12 or 13 crystal skulls had something to do with the 2012 Mayan prophecy, and then all the other stuff just followed (one thing led to another).
Honestly I hated crystal skull growing up but I rewatched it recently and it is really not bad. Shia lebouf was my biggest issue but he’s actually fantastic in it. Idk what my deal was years back. Much like the Star Wars prequels, it has aged like fine wine.
On the Adam Carrolla show when this came out his Newswoman Teresa Strasser said Marion WAS "age appropriate '" and Adam said until he went home to Calista Flockheart.
I LOVE this movie. I'm glad you saw it for yourself. We could nitpick every single Indy movie, but they are all entertaining and succeed in what they were intended to do. Just my opinion, but Raiders is my favourite and Crystal Skull may be my 2nd. I love all of them though. I just feel like this one has such a solid and enjoyable story and adventure. I also love the inter-dimensional alien aspect. Perfectly fitting for the series IMHO and, especially so, given the 1950s Cold Ward setting. All of the adventures are based around that serial, pulp action - 1930s WWii artifacts of power hunting - and 1950s sci-fi and UFO craze! It's a perfect way to make an elder Indiana Jones movie. Lucas never plays it safe. Unfortunately, too many jaded "fans" get scared and disturbed when artists do new things with THEIR OWN franchises. Then we get watered down crap when new people try to make corporate bucks off the foundations of someone else's creation. Que sera... ❤❤❤
I actually really liked this movie when it came out. Aside from some questionable CGI, I think people are just mad about aliens in Indiana Jones. I think it perfectly fits the themes of these movies 🤣🤣
I think a lot of people forgot that the whole series of movies was modeled after old adventure serial films that were known for formula, recurring motifs, moments of levity, and a certain level of “you need to suspend disbelief.” I think it had been too long since The Last Crusade to charge headlong into the defiance of reality and have people embrace it. Dropping an atomic bomb in the prologue was a mistake. Nuking the fridge in the 3rd act as Jones’ way of escaping while the soviets got vaporized would likely have been received better if the universe of the story had been constructed better, the rules set beforehand, and the rules broken at judicious times. That said, Cate Blanchett was delightfully cartoonish. Blanchett, Harrison Ford, Karen Allen and John Hurt definitely got the vibe of the series. I don’t think a guy who does his own dental extractions for a role really belongs in the universe. (My 2¢)
Is this the best Indy film? No. Is it bad? I dont think so. Ive always liked it personally. It got a lot right. The family element, the happy ending, the cast. The chase scene was really well done as well. Just the monkey swinging was a little overboard.
You haven't heard about Shia Labouf for awhile possibly because I read somewhere that he became very difficult to work with on a movie set and nobody wanted to work with him.
While it has its flaws, I don’t think this movie is as bad as everyone says it is. Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t mind them having aliens, I thought Shia as Mutt was good, and I liked the idea of them using Russians instead of Nazis yet again as the bad guys. The plot could use some tweaking and the CGI is overblown and bad in some places, but it’s still a fun ride. I give it a 6 out of 10. Not great, but not terrible. Okay.

I can tell you from experience, if someone has a phobia, they would probably not be able to grab the object of their fear, no matter the consequences. They would be terrified, would scream, possibly even pass out.
They did a series in the 1990s called the Young Indiana Jones chronicles. The Pancho Villa story was one of the episodes.
My favourite episode of that was when he met an old man in a church when he and his father were in Russia, it turned out to be Tolstoy
There were actually 2 tv series starring the same actor, Patrick Flannery, as Indiana Jones. The other was called The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones
7:03 "Oh wow! Gold!" 😁 (fails to recognize the Ark)
As a lifelong fan of these movies and characters, I find this one to be fun watch also. It's called "suspension of disbelief" y'all, and Hollywood would not, and could not, exist without it. Fun fact: my wife actually walked out on this movie in theater - in disgust. Being a scientist herself, she could not tolerate Indy repeatedly saying "noo-cue-lar" instead of nuclear (noo-clee-arr).
If you want more Shia, Fury is a definite must. Being 1 out of 5 main character's in a gritty war movie, Shia kills his role and brings his very best.
Exactly! This movie is fine, it’s just the films from the 80s have this epic feel cinematically. An example are the 80s slasher movies, I will always love Freddy Krueger, was a pretty quirky movie but the way it looks just reminds us of a golden age perhaps. Maybe it’s just easier to say “practical effects” baby! Nostalgia definitely plays a role too…
Those damn ants will always be the scariest thing of the movie😰
Nothing trumps the disgustingness of the flesh eating scarabs from The Mummy. Hated those little shits when i grew up.
@leonardolonghi3472 - I agrée!
7:03 is the Ark of the Covenant from the first movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The damage caused by the nuclear bomb test was quite realistic. However, Indy surviving 3000-4000°C, insane radiation, and bouncing violently on the ground several times just because he's in a lead-lined fridge is ludicrous.
True, but who really watches an Indiana Jones film expecting realism?
I just love the fact that Harrison Ford kept on playing Indy from 1981 up until 2023, whick meant that several generations could experience new adventures with the character. I watched the original trilogy when I was a kid, went to see Crystal Skull on the big screen during my first year in high school, and fifteen years later I'm in my 30's and having a blast with Dial of Destiny. I love these films so much ❤
Check out the pilot movie for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles .
It depicts a teenage Indy with Poncho Villa and also introduces everyone to his parents and his dog Indiana who you got a glimpse of in Last Crusade.
Every episode of the series has Indy interacting with various famous people of history and often getting involved in famous events.
You get to see Indy depicted at three different ages,8, 16 and 93 with the latter telling the stories of his youth in wrap around segments.
There is even one with Harrison Ford as a 50 year old Indy telling a story.
What a nice Valentine’s gift to watch a rekindled romance!
If you want to see Shia in more recent movies - he had TWO phenomenal movies in 2019 - 'Peanut Butter Falcon' and 'Honey Boy'. He is such an amazing talent and I hope he can wrangle his own demons and get his life in order.
i hope in the future you will watch The Adjustment Bureau.. its Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, you will love this one.
Hey Mary, I know that a lot of other people are recommending a lot of movies to you, but if you want or have not, check out Pirates of the Carribean!💀🗡 Johnny Depp SLAYS in these movies and some of them have pretty good cinematography!
-From me!
dude. She probably has seen them.
Indiana Jones 5 comes out next year. They recently finished filming it.
There will always be those that enjoy and those that don't enjoy everything so I never listen to the negative side and with that said I really enjoyed this one. Also every Indiana Jones film is syfy and aliens fit in so well in the Spielberg universe. 💓👍
The gold in the warehouse was the Ark of the Covenant from the first movie.
I don't understand the hate either. It literally has all the bells and whistles of the originals. I think it just suffers from being released in an era when it's cool to hate.
Even though I know it should've ended with The Last Crusade, I still love this movie.
Fun Fact for you Mary:
This movie spawned the saying "Nuked The Fridge", Which is the cinema equivalent of the saying "Jump The Shark"
Yeah the fridge scene is what broke this movie for me.
If you watch the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles you can see Indy's adventure riding with Pancho Villa.
"National Treasure" is a movie with a similar vibe to IJ.
Personally i liked it more than temple of doom.
Maybe you recognize the "Raiders theme" cos it's reminiscent of Star Wars and Jaws? All composed by John Williams. His music just has a "trademark" sound.
If you really want to see these old cars in the streets, you should really visit Cuba. Not only is it a beautiful country with great culture and people, the streets are also full of these classic cars because of the US embargo.
This was actually the first of the Indiana jones movies that I ever saw and although not perfect it entertained me.
So glad that you enjoyed this flick! If I may (If no one else has mentioned?) … The Indiana Jones flicks paid tribute to the B movies of the times in which they are set.
In the ‘50’s, it was Cold war issues, aliens & big bugs! (Besides… It’s definitely better than “Temple of Doom”.)
There's no evidence of that, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg couldn't direct James Bond so they went with this Indiana Jones and the rest is history
@@Fantomex. No evidence of what?! Indiana Jones was created out of the appreciation Lucas had for the old B-movie cliffhanger serials he watched, growing up. Yes, Spielberg did want to do Bond, but George brought his idea for Indy to him, & (As you said), “the rest is history”.
They originally wanted to have Mutt take up the role of the treasure hunter in the Jones family but then Shia LaBeouf went crazy and stopped acting.
Yeah, he's nuttier than squirrel poop.
This one is better than Temple of Doom, IMHO.
Indiana Jones Movies:
Raiders was about Judaism
Temple was about Hinduism
Crusade was about Christianity
So Kingdom was about Scientology
Never listen to a critics review. This movie is very good indeed
Agree 100%
Yeah if you think you can survive a atomic explosion by jumping in a fridge
By the way the part where you saw the gold when they were in the storage facility that was the ark of the covenant from Raiders of the Lost ark
Mary not sure if a nuke in a movie is special effects. LOL Oh Mary, you funny.
Obviously a real nuke, you know how much of a perfectionist Steven Spielberg is, eh? :p
It seemed pretty obvious that they were grooming Shia LaBeouf to become the next Indiana Jones, but then he sequentially pissed off every single person he ever worked with... And his career is instead as it is
Shia is a good actor but Ki Huy Quan (Short Round) is a better actor and a better successor for Indy.
Upon several rewatches, plus seeing dual of destiny, I actually enjoy crystal skull a lot more . It feels like an actual Indiana Jones movie unlike Indy 5
I think its actually more fun than Temple of doom
John Hurt - "Who hurt you, John?" ~ Mary Cherry
Jim Broadbent - "Who bent your broad, Jim?" ~ Blackie.
That Crystal Skull thing is what alerted me to that 2012 Mayan prophecy thing ; 12 or 13 crystal skulls had something to do with the 2012 Mayan prophecy, and then all the other stuff just followed (one thing led to another).
*Sees the Ark that was heavily featured in the first film*
“What is that, gold?”
Totally agree. Some classic Indy moments in this.
Honestly I hated crystal skull growing up but I rewatched it recently and it is really not bad. Shia lebouf was my biggest issue but he’s actually fantastic in it. Idk what my deal was years back. Much like the Star Wars prequels, it has aged like fine wine.
I now suggest Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow.
Mary Cherry my dear.
You want some recent Shia? Look up The Peanut Falcon and Honey Boy.
Honey Boy is one he wrote himself.
On the Adam Carrolla show when this came out his Newswoman Teresa Strasser said Marion WAS "age appropriate '" and Adam said until he went home to Calista Flockheart.
I LOVE this movie. I'm glad you saw it for yourself. We could nitpick every single Indy movie, but they are all entertaining and succeed in what they were intended to do. Just my opinion, but Raiders is my favourite and Crystal Skull may be my 2nd. I love all of them though. I just feel like this one has such a solid and enjoyable story and adventure. I also love the inter-dimensional alien aspect. Perfectly fitting for the series IMHO and, especially so, given the 1950s Cold Ward setting. All of the adventures are based around that serial, pulp action - 1930s WWii artifacts of power hunting - and 1950s sci-fi and UFO craze! It's a perfect way to make an elder Indiana Jones movie. Lucas never plays it safe. Unfortunately, too many jaded "fans" get scared and disturbed when artists do new things with THEIR OWN franchises. Then we get watered down crap when new people try to make corporate bucks off the foundations of someone else's creation. Que sera... ❤❤❤
I actually really liked this movie when it came out. Aside from some questionable CGI, I think people are just mad about aliens in Indiana Jones.
I think it perfectly fits the themes of these movies 🤣🤣
I think a lot of people forgot that the whole series of movies was modeled after old adventure serial films that were known for formula, recurring motifs, moments of levity, and a certain level of “you need to suspend disbelief.”
I think it had been too long since The Last Crusade to charge headlong into the defiance of reality and have people embrace it.
Dropping an atomic bomb in the prologue was a mistake. Nuking the fridge in the 3rd act as Jones’ way of escaping while the soviets got vaporized would likely have been received better if the universe of the story had been constructed better, the rules set beforehand, and the rules broken at judicious times.
That said, Cate Blanchett was delightfully cartoonish. Blanchett, Harrison Ford, Karen Allen and John Hurt definitely got the vibe of the series. I don’t think a guy who does his own dental extractions for a role really belongs in the universe.
(My 2¢)
Is this the best Indy film? No. Is it bad? I dont think so. Ive always liked it personally. It got a lot right. The family element, the happy ending, the cast. The chase scene was really well done as well. Just the monkey swinging was a little overboard.
A fine instalment of the Indiana Jones series. I saw it twice in the theatres when it came out.
30:10 🎵Son of man, look to the sky!
Let your spirit set you free!
Someday, you'll walk tall with pride!
Son of man, a man in time you'll be!🎵
Your need to check out The Peanut Butter Falcon, Shia has a really good role in it.
You haven't heard about Shia Labouf for awhile possibly because I read somewhere that he became very difficult to work with on a movie set and nobody wanted to work with him.
The 5th Indiana Jones movie finished filming about a week ago and will come out next year
In answer to your question, Mary
Dosvadanya does indeed translate as, "Goodbye"
Go with God.
@@nysunflower9439 ok, did I misinterpret what "Dosvadanya" translates to??
I'm so glad they fixed the color on the recent 4K upgrade so it matches the original trilogy. The cinematography looked so washed out before.
Also in the hanger in the beginning you said ooo wow gold did you notice it was the ark of the covenant from the first one??
It's only fitting that Harrison Ford was the one to make the Star Wars reference.
There are realy some good things in this movie... i heard.
If you want to know more about Indiana Jones' past, I'd recommend watching "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles".
In the US they've even played the Indiana Jones theme music at fireworks displays. :)
Mary, you haven't recognized that this is the warehouse where they stored the Ark of the Covenant.
That gold was the Ark.
9:45 No, that's not special effects, they literally made a nuclear test just for this movie ;)))))))
30:15 "Do svidanya" means "Goodbye".
While it has its flaws, I don’t think this movie is as bad as everyone says it is. Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t mind them having aliens, I thought Shia as Mutt was good, and I liked the idea of them using Russians instead of Nazis yet again as the bad guys. The plot could use some tweaking and the CGI is overblown and bad in some places, but it’s still a fun ride. I give it a 6 out of 10. Not great, but not terrible. Okay.
Have you seen Serendipity?
It's a really good movie
If you want to see more recent Shia LaBeouf movies. You should watch peanut butter falcon!. Honeyboy!. Or Fury. Thy are all good movies. 😁
If you haven't seen Shia in any recent movies, I suggest you check out The Peanut Butter Falcon. It's a lovely movie and he does a great performance.
