Ayy.

 

[AJUMP23]

Might as well call it Indiana Jones and the fast and the furious.

 

[k_trout]

oof

 

[AJUMP23]

It makes it look worse than crystal skull. They learn nothing. They use an over the top action sequence because no one is really in danger. And no one is even close to pretending a lead could be hurt.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Harrison Ford is too old for this kind of action movie. At no point in this clip did I believe he did anything but sit in green screen booth and yell his lines.

 

[xandaca]

Wise of them to cut the clip before Indiana Jones shouted, "They FLY now?"

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Harrison Ford was too old in Crystal Skull and that movie was 15 years ago. In CS he could barely move and talk. Will be interesting to see how much he does it in this movie.

 

[Billbofet]

Has it always been a thing to be so quippy and conversational during a life-threatening situation or am I just sensitive to it after 35 Marvel movies?
This clip is just okay. Not seeing why this would be singled out as something to release on Twitter to excite anyone.
This feels like a reskin of that terrible chase scene in Rise of Skywalker after they go to Burning Man.

 

[kunonabi]

Nothing about this is instilling any confidence.

 

[bitbydeath]

Mario Kart sure has lost its way.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I remember when the trailer dropped, there was positive but careful hype. Looks like the first clip deflated that hype...

 

[LordOfChaos]

Some directors have never ridden in an autorickshaw and it really shows

 

[FunkMiller]

Oh look, unrealistic cgi, terrible quipping, physics defying, Disneyfied garbage.

Compare to:

 

[jonnyp]

Looks horrible...

 

[HoodWinked]

 

[Haemi]

Why is the color grading so extreme? Why does it have to look so "digital"?
Why are they casually talking wile being in a car chase? Are they actually able to multitask do not need to focus on what is important at that moment?
Couldn't they cut the bamboo part at the end in a way that would suggest, she was actually thinking for a moment, what she should do next?

Is it so hard to make a movie, that feels and looks like an Indy movie while telling a new story?

 

[GymWolf]

Trash.

 

[Spaceman292]

Might as well call it Indiana Jones and the fast and the furious.

Pretty sure the older Indy movies had car chases too

 

[blastprocessor]

Looks fantastic.

 

[Lord Panda]

Le Sigh

 

[Banjo64]

Poor Harrison. I get that he would have been offered fat stacks for this and Star Wars but man he must absolutely detest working in these shallow, brain-dead, nostalgia cash grabs.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Sad to see this, I had been hoping it'd be a good movie, but if this is the best clip they could rustle up, one to really excite people, even people like me who want it to be good, then I think we're in trouble.

 

[AJUMP23]

Pretty sure the older Indy movies had car chases too

Ya but not with a CG background and car and a fan blowing in his face.

 

[IDKFA]

Doesn't look great judging by that clip.

 

[Spaceman292]

Ya but not with a CG background and car and a fan blowing in his face.

Very true this movies gonna suck

Why are you asking any of these questions when this is a Disney product? It's all one big, homogenised mess from them. Everything looks, feels and plays out the same.

This is film making by way of McDonalds. Easily digestible trash that's bad for you, but easy to consume. They have their factory line, and everything that comes out of it is put through the same process.

 

[DeafTourette]

I trust the director of Logan ... This scene is out of context and just a small snippet of a larger film. I'll still see it and judge it on its own merits.

You can trust the director. But if the people on top of him don't want any risks, there is nothing he can do about it. If Disney had a thing against practical effects, there won't be. And so on. As long as Indy is not too different from the past, we will forgot those action packed scenes and love the film for the emotional moments. Ford still have his voice and acting talent at least. At least I hope so.

 

[jason10mm]

These aren't cars though, they are scooters.

He is not on a horse. Or motocycle. Or boat. Or blimp. Or vine. Or tank. Or minecart. Or raft sliding down a mountain.

A. damn. SCOOTER!

And yeah, the use of CG means the stunts are lazy and the tension is gone. So they gotta fill that gap with dialogue lest the audience, who knows it's all fake, gets bored. If this was all being done practically they wouldn't be able to easily film the actors like that, record dialogue, or any of that, plus the visceral feel of REAL scooter-bikes, REAL cars, REAL stunts, carries the scene. Nothing about that scene felt real or on location though. If they WERE on location, then they killed any value with the digital look and magic camera shots.

I don't really have much hope for the future of cinema (for my tastes) as there are a vanishing number of folks that even know how to do shit practically and even fewer studios willing to allocate the production time versus just slamming crunch and more effects shops in post, fuck it if it looks sloppy, gotta meet that release window that was announced 4 years ago and has to fit seamlessly between 2 other films and a TV show tie-in.

So I'm just hoping that the handful of directors that can NAIL digital, like Cameron, Gareth Edwards, even the District 9 guy if he can get a good script, keep working.

 

[BritBloke916]

How many reviews will go with “Don’t touch this Dial” as a subtitle?

 

[FunkMiller]

Sam Raimi is an excellent film director too. Disney's machine turned him into the guy who made Multiverse Of Madness.

I would be far more positive about this movie if it wasn't part of Disney.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Why are those Tuk tuks so damn fast?

 

[drganon]

I'm just going to keep pretending they never made anything past the first three movies.

 

[DKehoe]

 

[SirKicksalot]

I'm just going to keep pretending they never made anything past the first three movies.

The show and documentaries made for it were good.
I also like the nuketown scene. It's eerie.

 

[SJRB]

Wow that was terrible.

 

[DrFigs]

here's that 90 year old action star you asked for

 

[LaughingStock]

Look at the bright side. This is the last one. It can't get any worse than this.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Indiana Jones and the Snooze Button should be the next one.

 

[AJUMP23]

 

[xandaca]

He's got a lot of fond memories of that dog.

 

[Dr. Claus]

here's that 90 year old action star you asked for

They can turn it into Indie's young kid going on Disney Channel Adventures on Disney+. All about fighting modern day patriarchy and "bigotry", punching "nazis".

Disney can always make something worse.

 

[Batiman]

This is gonna be great. Loved the trailer but this little clip was meh.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Oh look, unrealistic cgi, terrible quipping, physics defying, Disneyfied garbage.

Compare to:

The smile he does when the trees remove the guys from the sides of the truck he is driving, is priceless. More-so because I was doing the same smile as if it had be me in the driver's seat.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

 

[Ristifer]

I hope I’ll enjoy it, but I can feel the hope being drained out of me more and more every time I see something about this movie.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

what's up with the cartoon music? am i watching tom and Jerry or what?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Wow what a 10 km per hour chase

 

[badblue]

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Uncharted is the spiritual succesor of Indiana Jones.
