Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull marks the return of the legendary Dr. Henry Jones Jr. along bwith his fedora hat and whip, after a hiatus of nearly 19 years. The movie has the usual thrills and chases and adventures, evil bad guys (in this case, bad gal) , some mysterious artifact, something that we have come to expect from every Indy flick.
The current flick revolves around the mysterious crystal skull and the powers that it possesses. You are re-introduced to Indy's ex-flame Marion Ravenwood, from the Raiders of the Lost Ark. You are also introduced to Mutt Williams, who happens to be Marion and Indy's son. The action this time around, takes place mostly in South America where Indy along with Mutt must retrieve the crystal skull from an eerie cemetery and then along with Dr. Oxely and Marion and Mac find the City of Gods to restore the skull in it's rightful place before the Russian, led my Irina Spalko, can get their hands on it.
The movie has it set of snazzy fight sequence, especially the sequence where you have the fight for the skull taking place on multiple vehicle, which is something that is remnant of ally Indy flicks. The cemetery sequence was bit eerie and well shot, especially the guys in the cemetery who kept giving you the thrills. Not forgetting the chase sequence in the university campus. The movie was well paced and mostly entertaining. And as you may have guessed by now, involves Aliens and UFO, which is quite a departure since two of the Indy flicks were based on religious artifacts.
This is just the second Indy movie that I've watched in the theater. Previously watched the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, along with my dad and grandad. Somehow with the advent of films like The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, that movie didn't seem all that novel. Somehow left you wanting a bit more, something new. But then on the whole watching the movie was a good cinematic experience.
