Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (June 30th, 2023)

[Mondragon]

Can't help but wonder what the alien take would've looked like had Spielberg and Ford not opposed the idea a decade earlier

 

[Wor-Gar]

Seaquest was so dumb.

 

[wormlander]

I do hope you're right..

 

[ArtDamage]

Atlantis mythology and all it invokes, seems the perfect fair game middle ground to bridge the two, and remain true to the fantastic pulpy adventure quests that has always been Indian Jones.

Isn't one of the indiana jones games set in atlantis?

Edit: it totally is lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

Except for losing the hat, Indy underwater would be good. Old style diving bell.

 

[Mondragon]

Pretty sure the Captain Haddok Captain Banderas character, takes them on a diving expedition.
...

Blistering Barnacles! Banderas as grizzled ship Captain helping Jones, not what I expected, clearly some residual Spielberg childhood influence here

Can't guess if he's his own treasure, lost city hunter(Atlantis?), on par with Sallah, but diving in the ocean instead ?
Or more likely just a brief, small part, ride for hire, on par with Jock and his seaplane, or Katanga and his smuggling freighter, etc.?
Hopefully at least a friend from his past, and we do get a tiny exposition hint of how they knew each-other.

Looks like a fun character role for Banderas, and that piece of junk boat has allot of character

I like when the "vehicles" are characters onto themselves.

Except for losing the hat, Indy underwater would be good. Old style diving bell.

No old style diving bells though, that might have been dated by then.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I really would have liked the old school diving bell... but clearly this movie is set mostly in the 60's, so Jacques Cousteau aqualungs.

Thanks for those pictures.

The first few shots at the beginning look great... Ford looks tired... the tinker tape sequence looks corny... train fight too CGI... Mads looks perfect... very mixed for me.

Promising... but its still ancient Ford.

 

[jye4ever]

Part time.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Oh, and thanks Johnny Utah.

 

[a-dev]

Sigh......I'm intrigued. I'm ready to give it a chance.

Caught Temple, TLC and KOTCS on telly the last few weeks and I think I'm prepared for the silliness and the ridiculous, unsurviveable situations that might present and maybe not hold them against it if it's a fun movie.

 

[Mondragon]

Thanks for sharing.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sigh......

And the man has just given up. Resigned to the asinine.

 

[YoNoSe]

I'm not gonna defend Crystal Skull but Indy was fast leaning into Looney Tunes by Last Crusade. It even has the coyote go over the cliff in the Acme tank.

 

[davejames]

Looks fairly promising I guess, with seemingly a lot more action than Indy 4 had. And so cool to see a TLC-era Ford again. But can't say it really has me fired up to see it just yet.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The opening sequence -- with the de-aging bit -- is the only thing I'm looking forward to.

 

[ArtDamage]

Overall, fairly promising, but fool me once...

 

[greygoose]

How much of the real Ford was in that trailer? Didn't his stunt double fill in for him?

 

[Mandible]

Test screenings have apparently been appalling.

Funny about that...
