The week started off with the usual monotonous routine, work - college and finally home. On Thursday I got a text message from my sister asking me to get her some Indian movies she craves so much, so on my way back from the office I stopped by the video store to get the Indian movies. Anyways, After spending about 30 minutes in the shop and selecting a whole bunch of videos, I randomly asked the guy if he has the new Indiana Jones movie and to my surprise he said "Yes". I was overjoyed as I had been dying to see the new movie since its release. I've been a huge fan of Indiana Jones ever since I saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with my parents at a local cinema many many years ago.
Anyways, as soon as I got home, I popped the DVD into the player and sat down with my dinner, shutting everyone out , waiting for the movie to start. It started off well with a classic situation that Indie has go himself into and I was just waiting for him to take out his whip and perform some cool bullwhip tricks, and he did managing a clean escape, And so the movie went on and I kept going deeper and deeper into the plot and trying to figure out what would happen next.
Indie did not fail to disappoint half way through and then suddenly, it happened!
It was something that I did not see coming AT ALL! Indie defied death, jumped over cliffs, took swan dives off three water falls and ended up in some ancient city but only to find a space ship or an Intergalactic vessel taking off.
I meant WHAT THE HELL! Indiana Jones has always been about myths and legends, ancient tribes, lost cities and funky rituals wit virgin sacrifices. What were the producers and directors thinking??? A space ship? An Inter dimensional Portal???
I was expecting some twist right about the point when the huge saucer took off and took my excitement with it leaving me in a sea of disappointment and a very bad mood!
A little recap of the previous Indiana Jones movies:
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Won an Oscar
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark - Won 4 Oscars
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - Won 4 Oscars
Indiana Jones and the Legend of the Crystal Skull - I would be shocked if it won any of the 6 nominations!
