Watched this with MR. AY at One Utama after hanging at ZanMai Sushi (Chryss's Appetite) kinda month ago. Similarly, i have not watched any trailer or relating content about this film though. "Indiana Jones"? well, the first thing that came into my mind was that: "hmm...it sounds like an old story or those from novels. redirecting film perhaps??"
Hahaa, yeayea, i know i'm lame. Sorry! Basically, i never plan to watch this film at all, not until He suggested it. So, thanks for bringing me to such a great film ya! ^o^
Looking at the poster, I have such a direct perception that expecting the film to be kinda adventurous one, where a group of archaeologists having their journey of hunting for treasures or something precious. It seems to be old-fashioned and conservative visuals. However, somehow, I was wrong. I WAS WRONG!! I ended up to be surprised, amazed, and enjoyed! But too bad that i couldnt immediately blog about this then. i cant really remember much now, so too sad i cant share lots.. :(
I shall say, the film is really a huge production, definately worth it to pay and watch in the cinema. hahaha! Anyway, the storyline is unpredictable. It is not as simple as you find it from the poster itself! I personally think that it has a very special content whereby it is absolutely not simple at all, kinda complicated, where lots of various elements and stories been joined together, yet congrats! they were linked so well, indeed. it is yea, an adventurous film featuring treasure hunting and archaeology, probably on the crystal skull, but it is great to have it as something archaelogy but yet modernized and interesting enough!
there are a lot of information and deep knowledges been added, jargons of archaeology and history, blending well with family relations and humors.
It is so cool and awesome, during the scenes of Jones using bullet powders to test on the magnetic stuff, scenes when the casts solving the tough clues all along their journey, the some kinda of orang asli scene,
the final scenes where Aliens are found, and etc. Fuyooh..
The most surprising thing for me is when the film relates the storyline to Aliens. this is something i find it interesting and cool as well. Normally, we've been seeing lots of films talking about Aliens, but they were all more to futuristic, commonly shows that
Aliens would appear or occupy the present human world. However, in "Indiano Jones", the aliens somehow seems to exist before human does, they were already there since centuries ago. Aliens were from the past!
Overall, for me, both visuals and storyline are so well-directed and created, I really enjoyed the film. it was like i cant even take a glance off the screen while my brain cant stop working and digesting the signals sent by both my eyes and ears. i feel so much satisfied with the surprisingly rich contents =) Here, i shall send my compliment to Steven Spielberg, as recently we could see that he has been trying on various genres of films lately. Well done!
