Hubby and I watched this movie last night. I knew what I was getting into with the whole alien thing. But, I did not count on the whole movie being a big pile of crap. It was completely unbelievable. In the other Indy movies, Indy did some cool stunts, but all of them were at least believable. I mean, come on, a person gets into a refrigerator, an atomic bomb goes off and sends the refrigerator flying many miles away, and the person walks out of the frig unharmed... A guy gets stuck on a tree, monkeys look at him and show him how to swing from vine to vine, he follows them, swings into the bad guys car and the monkeys attack the bad guy... and my favorite....a car/boat goes over a cliff, lands in a tree that lowers it softly into the water, then pops back to knock bad guys off the side of the cliff, then said car/boat goes over three big waterfalls and no one gets hurt... All total crap.
South Park got it right...Indy was raped.

In another note, as I read this, the ad at the top was for "Zombie Strippers", a movie starring Jenna Jameson.
Sweet, zombie movies! ^_^

uuuggghhh, what a steaming pile this movie was. Shia's character seems like it was written in as an afterthought and harrison ford is the empty husk of his former self. If Spielberg and Lucas were pokemon they'd be Failzors. Amy's right, the overall crappiness of the film was much more of a shock and let down than the alien theme. I don't see how the alien thing could be thought of as too left field by some people. Is it really less plausible than getting your face melted off by the ark of the covenant or getting your still-beating heart ripped from your chest? I submit that it is not.

The only thing you predicted was Shia being Indy's son.
It was nearly impossible to predict anything else as the movie completely negates any form of reasonable sane thought.
Who would have predicted the monkeys would show Shia how to "Tarzan" and even attack the baddies. What about man eating gigantic snafu bullants?
Aliens coming from another galaxy sitting on a throne but one had a missing skull.
There were dozens and dozens of major plot holes. How did the skull end up in Area 51? What happened to the skeletons of the carcasses the Nazis and the Americans had? The list goes on and on and on.
And poor Japanese if only their houses were bigger and sporting full sized refrigerators, they too could have lived through the Atomic bomb.
The movie was plain garbage and Spielberg/Lucas should be flogged. Not to mention Harrison Ford was so damn old and tired he lost his edge as Indiana Jones. Indy had an attitude problem and it made Indy...well Indy...that smug conceit he carried around..that arrogance. All of it lost in the newest sequel.
Damn shame really.
Entertaining movie though...
