I haven't seen it yet. But so far all four movies are pretty much based on real history. the most unrealistic part of all the Jones movies are the ends of raiders and last crusade. the soviets (russians) did look for psychic weapons during the cold war. And the idea of aliens helping create human civilizations are pretty much based on established ideas.

AWFUL movie....CGI gophers, monkeys, and the worst part is it just did not "feel" like an Indy movie.I expected Jar Jar to pop in the movie at some point. That is how ridiculous it was.Really bad.Indy ended at when the 4 of them rode off into the sunset IMO.DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE.

I saw it, and yah the aliens were a little to much, But you gotta remember the original trilogy.All of thoes were a little too sc-fi.But thats what indy is. Hes like a normal person, but he has always gone up against something that looks like it was taken from star wars.So I liked it, but it did have parts that were just unecessary to be in the movie.

I am looking forward to seeing a Indiana Jones vs Predator.Maybe that will be next.

The script wasn't too solid, the gags were a little more kid-friendly than the other films, aliens don't really fit the style that had been established in the other films, and animals saved the day too much, but I enjoyed it. It was disappointing but I expected that from two filmmakers who used to be good but lost it.Overall a good pulp-style film. Better than your average movie, but not as good as the others(maybe a little better than Temple of Doom).I'm a huge fan of old pulp fiction so I'm a bit biased on what should be in a pulp story. Aliens just don't fit, but it doesn't bother me THAT much.Like I said, overall an enjoyable movie that I will pick up when it's released on blu-ray and watch many more times in the future.

I thought it was a good movie, I want to see it again before it leaves the theaters. And I will be also getting it on Blu-Ray when its released. Hopefully the other 3 will be put out on BR too.

Reading some of these posts you would think that Indy was fighting aliens through the entire movie. And the fridge was led lined. Led protects from radiation.

The alien thing didn't bother me as far as the artifact went. It was, as someone else posted, the lack of any suspense or seriousness throughout the entire movie together with the over the top stunts and.... animals saving the day. What I am surprised by is that some people and critics really liked the movie. In my opinion, it should have been animated like one of those Disney movies, then I would have said I enjoyed it. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />

Virtually anything within a mile radius of the detonation site would have been obliterated. The quick screen shot Lucas/Spielberg made to the lead-lining of the refrigerator was done in jest. They threw it in there to be as silly as someone surviving three waterfalls, driving a jeep off a cliff, or encountering aliens.

Surviving a nuclear blast in a refrigerator you don't like but serial killers coming back from the dead over and over again, people turning into wolves or flesh-eating corpses are okay in your book?
