Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Wikipedia

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a 2008 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and the fourth installment in the Indiana Jones series. Released nineteen years after the previous film, the film is set in 1957, pitting Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) against Soviet agents—led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett)—searching for a telepathic crystal skull. Jones is aided by his former lover, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), and her son, Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). Ray Winstone, John Hurt, and Jim Broadbent are also part of the supporting cast.

I really like the more modern plot of this movie, and its another family adventure!

While there is very little religious connotations to this movie’s plot as compared to previous movies in the series, it does incorporate the current theory of “Ancient Aliens” which is still a theory (it could go either way, we simply don’t have enough evidence in my opinion).

I also really like that it’s another family adventure; Marion returns with her son Mutt, and a new/old friend in Oxley. Let’s just say by the end of the movie some old grudges have been dealt with and some new ones arise. It also sets the stage for a continuation with a new Jones at the helm.

My Rating: ★★★★
