Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull trailer at Yahoo.
I have just returned home from (co-incidentally) watching Raiders of the Lost Ark on a friend’s projector. Great film and almost timeless thanks to the 40’s styling, and lack of dependence on available CG effects except for the odd dodgy key and some Ghostbusters-esque rotoscoped energy beams.
After one watch of the new teaser it looks like they’ve gone with some improbable, big impact CG (that ridiculous looking car chase on the edge of a mountain?) which saddens me. Somehow, the old stunts of Raiders are all the more exciting and believable as someone actually performed all the jumps, falls, and sliding-along-under-the-truck shenanigans. I still have time for Harrison, although has anyone noticed these days that when speaking his face stays strangely immobile, or there is at least a noticeable sluggishness to his expressions? Is this merely age? Would Han Solo botox? I like to think not.
