I'm sure I read somewhere that the film makers deliberately tried to re-create the 'feel' of the older Indie films with regards to the sets and made an effort to cut back on the use of CGI, but it seems that they didn't do a good job on that front then, lol.

Hey Ki, all my senses want to tell people to stay clear. But I think you really need to go and generate your own opinion as there's a chance you could really like it and if I had the chance to see a 4th Indiana Jones film, I would risk the possibility that it is dire to see it! (I'm pretending, like Star Wars Episode I, II and II, that this isn't it, however...
)
lol well, I'd say it takes around 15 seconds for the first bit of CGI to appear and then it seems to be littered in every other scene after that.

The originals were plain fun; great dialogue, fantastic set-pieces and a cast with chemistry to die for. I really do love them so much.
I mean, they look so low budget - even back in the 80s - that now they just seem the same; still low budget, still B-movie. If they had been 'Hollywood-ized' in the 80s they'd probably not hold the magic they still do now; you'd be able to distinguish how much they had dated. But the fact that they looked kind of cheap anyway (in a charming way) makes them almost timeless...
I'm going to pretend that the Indiana Jones Trilogy ended in '89 when he and Henry Snr rode off into the sunset. Anyone who wants this movie can have it as the beginning of a new franchise
as I can imagine it being
