Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Synopsis: Indiana Jones is enjoying a quiet life teaching before being thrust back into his old adventuring. He races against agents of the Soviet Union for the crystal skull. His journey will take him across New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru, as well as the warehouse from the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", where numerous treasures including the Ark of the Covenant are kept safe by the US government.

I only have one word to say: "Awesome!!!" No wonder they took 10+ years to find a good enough plot to cast the final adventure of Indiana Jones. There are plenty of fights and escape scenes that will keep viewers intrigued as Indiana cross swords with the Soviet KGB. He just can't seem to die as he dodged bullets after bullets and maneuver around all the dangers. One scene that left a deep impression in my mind will be the escape attempt of Indiana from a Atomic Bomb test. Imagine hiding in a lead fridge?? A "Lead" fridge in the middle of a dead town?? *lol* Enjoy the beautiful mushroom head cloud afterwards. With aids from the computer CGI, this brings the movie to another level, particularly so towards the end of the movie with the alien encounter.

Despite all its good, I find that the pace of the movie is moving too fast as Indiana tackle past ancient puzzles and riddles at amazing speed. Sometimes, I just can't get how did he arrive at such a conclusion. Well overall, I find this not a bad movie to watch. A worthwhile recommendation from me.

Rate: 4/5
