Just seen it a few hours ago, and I'm still digesting it now. Overall I think i'm happy with it, but there are niggles that I know won't go away.... like Mutt swinging through the Amazon rainforest, I could have done without that. Also wasn't liking when the skulls kind of 'merged' into the live Alien, that was a little too much.
I know people are gonna go at this movie saying "Aliens! Really? That's not very believable! AND a spaceship?!!! WTF?!" But it's no more unrealistic than a box made of gold that melts faces, or a cult leader removing a heart without any surgical equipment, or a cup that brings ever lasting life; you always have to check reality at the door for an Indy movie, that's an important thing to remember with this movie. I loved the ending too. It nicely capped off the movie (and even the series) with Indy's line; "Gold translates as treasure. Knowledge was their treasure." That completely won me over and reigned in the moment, and the movie, with something that was just pure Indy... knowledge is his treasure too. Can't wait to see it again! What did the rest of you think?
