| Just got home from the 12:01 here in CA. Before going in my friends and I had a smoke outside (don't smoke kids!) and were jabbering away incoherently as I noticed I had smoked my last cig. This is important and you will know why later. It was a 400 seat theater and was about 3/4 full. Anyway the movie.
The ark, short and sweet, loved that. Biiiig explosion and clever escape, very cool. That was one of my favorite parts. Ray Winstone and John Hurt are wasted entirely in this film. Ok, who cares about Winstone but John Hurt! 1984! Mr Elephant man himself! Lame. Not his fault though (I'm looking at you steven and you over there hiding behind the dumpster, George). Cate was cool. Shia (the luckiest boy in the world) swinging with the monkeys, absurd and painful to see but at least there were monkeys. The rope snake. He uses a huge snake to pull himself (indy) out of the sand. This was also painful and absurd but had no monkeys. The alien parts I dug and enjoyed very much. The whole movie looked like sky captain. Now I happen to like that film but that look is not right for indy. I believe george and steven must have been high when they decided to go that way (don't do drugs kids). Its a film that a whole family will like and I think that was the goal here. Its sort of disneyish in that way. A lot of people are going to hate on this film and those same people will get the dvd when it comes out and hate on it some more.
7 out of 10 shias
Cool star wars reference.
Remember those smokes I ran out of? On the way out of the theater, laying on the floor of the lobby was a pack of smokes half full and it was the very same kind I smoke. What are the odds.
