Ooh what a great movie that was.

Just gotten back from the cinema and along with Iron Man the other week, these two films have been some of the best I have watched in a long time.

The special effects are pretty nice in it and although some of the scenes arent hugely realistic with the events, it does give it a much more ruthless and 'get the job done' feel.

What do others think?

was okay. the ending was pretty poor, and a lot of the storyline reminded me of stargate SG1,, just using a differant civilisation.

I thought it was quite clever how it all moulded together into our 'every day' beliefs of their civilisation

I think I have to pay anywhere between £5-£7 a ticket. I register as an adult at the merry age of 15. Get tickets for £3 on a Wednesday.

J, well most people I have spoken to say it was a good film, so it just depends on the person I suppose.

I love all the old, original, 1970's/1980's, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien, Tron, "Arnie-type", Blade Runner, etc, etc, films to bits...

...and I always hope that the recent "equivalents" match up to the good-old, original, "Family Entertainment Stuff"....

..trubble is....they rarely seem to...(with too much CGI Graphic complication!).... Cry

...!

Lets hope "Indie", takes us back to the original recipe, again... Kiss

...I could never understand the the various "Matrix" (CGI) incarnations!....way over my bleedin' head!... Shocked

Yeh there are a lot of good classics, and okay Indiana uses a lot of CGI effects this time around, I thought they were pretty good. Good explosions (biiiig explosion for those who have seen it) and crashes and things. I personally think it gave the film a slightly more explosive feel- and it didn't really go over the top either.

Matrix is just pure brilliance... very well done film trilogy.

Saw it last night - excellent. Yeh, a little formulaic but great to see it all again, and I had a soft spot for Marion Ravenwood anyway! Also, it was fun to see Lucas and Spielberg including sly references to their previous work: the Ark of the Covenant poking out of a packing case in the Area 51 hangar, Indy/Han Solo's "I have a bad feeling about this" etc.

Great fun.
