This summer marks the return of everyone's favourite tomb-raiding, fedora-wearing, treasure hunter -- one Indiana Jones.
When I heard they were doing a fourth Indy movie, my first reaction was: isn't Ford too old for this? And when I read Sean Connery wouldn't be in it, I almost completely lost interest. Now, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is available on Blu-ray. To tell you the truth, no it isn't as good as the first three, but it isn't as bad as some would like you to believe. The Blu-ray treatment of this movie provides us with excellent picture and audio quality and makes Indy almost jump from the screen into your living room. Karen Allen as Marion doesn't quite cut it and Shia Labeouf is trying too hard to be Marlon Brando, but Harrison Ford is still the one and only Indiana Jones and right from the start you even forget you're looking at a guy who has reached the age of retirement. At certain moments Lucas and Spielberg have gone a little over the top (Tarzan scene, nuclear blast, the ending), but overall they stayed true to the spirit of the Indy series. Ultimately, the movie is a great way for the young to discover the world of Indiana Jones and it certainly is a nice piece of nostalgia for those of us who were around when the original three movies came out.

The fourth film in the Indiana Jones series starring Harrison Ford. Set at the height of Cold War paranoia during the 1950s, the story finds the intrepid archaeologist involved in a plot involving Soviet agents. They want Indy (Ford) to find a legendary crystal skull that is said to grant the owner supernatural powers. If the Soviets get their hands on it, they will be able to control the world. Our hero manages to escape from the Russians and soon he is in a race to find the skull. He is joined by Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), the son of Indy's one-time love, Marion (Karen Allen). Together, the pair travel to South America, where the skull is reputed to be found. There they join forces with Marion. At the same time, the Soviet agents, led by the brilliant, ice-cold Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), are also hot on the trail. They have the help of Mac (Ray Winstone), Indy's one time partner - but which side is Mac really on? Also involved is Ox (John Hurt), a brilliant professor who was driven insane after being exposed to the crystal skull. Can Indy get to the prize first, or will the Soviets be able to dominate the world?
The newest Indiana Jones adventure commences in the desert in 1957 - the height of the Cold War. After barely escaping a close scrape with Sovient agents Professor Jones returns home to Marshall College only to find that the government have forced the university to fire him. On his way out of town, Indiana meets rebellious young Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), who has a proposition for the adventurous archaeologist: If he'll help Mutt on a mission with deeply personal stakes, Indy could very well make one of the most spectacular archaeological finds in history - the Crystal Skull of Akator, a legendary object of fascination, superstition and fear.
