(Warning this post contains spoilers which have been whited out, to read them highlight the white gaps) On Saturday night Romesh, Fran (my brother’s girlfriend who just got here from Atlanta on Friday) braved Karingal cinemas to see the new Indianna Jones movie in Vmax. And I enjoyed it, I had a great time, my two cohorts on the other hand weren’t as impressed but both thought it was a good movie. It comfortably fit the mold of an Indianna Jones film with goofy jokes, unrealistic stunts and camera angles that make you appreciate why Steven Spielberg is a supreme deity. My only criticism was that the Aliens were a bit too prominent and could have been played more subtle, but my criticism is based largely on the final scenes of the movie which got a bit too cgi and didn’t satisfy-ably do away with bad guy Cate Blanchett. My other problem with the movie was the lame and unnecessary wedding scene which seemed tacked on and not really built up to, but maybe I’m too cynical to appreciate such things. Over all I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and eagerly awaiting the dvd release even though I’ll probably be in Japan at that point and too poor to afford it. Any if you haven’t seen it yet, get to a cinema and enjoy it the way it’s meant to be enjoyed.
