Re: The New Indy starts filming
Sounds like mixed reviews
BTW just so you guys know a lot of the alien/crystal skull/sci fi physics was taken from the material of Richard C. Hoagland. Depending on your view of him this is either really groundbreaking in that his stuff is getting mainstream publicity or terrible that a charlatan was the basis for the not so great plot of this Indy film.

Re: The New Indy starts filming
Everywhere else I've seen reviews they've been really good. Even on imdb it was 8.8 when I checked this morning and on rottentomatoes it's at 80%.Sounds like mixed reviews

Re: The New Indy starts filming
I thought the movie was good, not great. I'd say its the worst of the three, but it was still a pretty good movie. The whole Shia LaBeouf (sp?) swinging with the monkeys part was odd...Comment

Re: The New Indy starts filming
Also to continue on the nature of the Crystal Skulls, Archeology magazine (a production of the Archeology Institute of America, the authority at least in America of archeology) ran a a story about the background of the Crystal skulls and where they come from. You can read at their website if you want, archaeology.org, but I can summarize it by saying: fake, produced by modern (within the last couple hundred years) machinery. One is on display currently as a labeled fake in the British Museum I believe.Sounds like mixed reviews

Re: The New Indy starts filming
Holly crap... I went to see this at midnight last night with a friend of mine and we left the theater with our jaws on the floor.
Not because we were speechless over how entertained we were, but because of how this script was the one picked out of the possible 4 or 5 that were turned
Downright disgrace.
I finally broke the silence by asking my buddy if we actually seen an early screening of the new X Files movie.
Congrats to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.... They really effed this one up. I had trouble staying awake through some scenes.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried. We’re talking about on the biggest stage, in New York, playing out of position and asked to hit fourth for the New York Yankees. I mean, that’s never been done.” - Sheffield on SheffieldComment

Re: The New Indy starts filming
I have not watched the movie and have not read the spoilers yet, but I do have a bit of a problem with the story with the whole alien angle. Anyways, one script (the first one) that was turned down had Indy fighting aliens the entire movie. I haven't seen this movie yet, and if I am wrong don't tell me why, but it seems the main enemy here is the soviets.Comment

Re: The New Indy starts filming
What were the other scripts/plots that were up for the movie?

Re: The New Indy starts filming
From what I have read, just variations around the same thing. The one constant is the alien angle. I guess Lucas/Spielburg liked that angle... for whatever reason. I got this all from IGN by the way about a week ago. I'm sure there is more info about it somewhere.Comment

Re: The New Indy starts filming
Interesting, I would have figured that had been a religious related plot instead of the sci-fi thing.

Re: The New Indy starts filming
With the exception of one particular scene, I loved the movie. It was a fun time and that's what I was looking for. The one scene I didn't like was a little too "Tarzanish" (if you see the film, you'll know what I'm talking about).
My one complaint (aside from that stupid swinging scene) is that Lucas has this way of CGIing stuff needlessly. The groundhogs in the beginning were stupid and cartoonish.
The story definitely veers from past episodes of this series, but that's probably because they went aliens instead of religion.The line must be drawn HERE! This far, no further!Comment
